Scientists from the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine assure that a person could feel the magnetic field, and therefore, navigate along it without any compass. Like a dove. Because I would have a built-in compass right inside my eyes. After all, everything that is needed for him is available. And it is quite efficient
The fact is that the eyes of birds, mammals and insects are equipped with a special protein called cryptochrome, which allows owners to react to a magnetic field. People also have their own cryptochrome. But it doesn't work. At least with the same strength as the smaller brothers.
Here is an experiment that neuroscientist Stephen Reppert came up with when he found the beginnings of the sixth sense in humans. He trained the captured flies to pass the maze, orienting themselves with the help of an artificially created magnetic field. The flies successfully completed the task over and over again - naturally, thanks to the "magnetic" protein.
Then the scientist stripped the flies of their cryptochrome. And they stopped navigating the maze.
In the end, Reppert supplied the same flies with a human "magnetic" protein. And the skills to go through the maze returned to them. The flies seemed to "magnetically" see their sight. Therefore, our cryptochrome as a part of the organism is quite intact. Performs its functions. But for some reason the matter does not reach their application.
The conclusion of the neuroscientist: nature and people have rewarded with sensitivity to magnetic fields. However, this ability, which seems to have been originally possessed by our distant ancestors, was lost in the process of evolution. Maybe the sixth sense turned out to be redundant. And five was enough for people.
“A person still has a sixth sense,” says the scientist. - It's worth admitting. But how we use magnetic susceptibility is not yet clear.

At the dawn of evolution, all vertebrates also felt an electric field. In fact, they were psychics. And the oldest was discovered by American scientists.
The predatory marine fish, which lived more than 500 million years ago, was equipped with special electroreceptor cells. Studies have shown that it, this fish, is in direct evolutionary relationship with 30 thousand species of animals that now inhabit the earth. Including the person. So it turns out that our ancestor, albeit very distant, was still a psychic.
The discovery allowed Willie Bemis, research director and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University, to conclude that some modern species with a sixth sense, such as the platypus and the echidna, did not evolve to develop it. On the contrary, they have retained the once acquired specific adaptation from the "basic configuration" laid down by nature. Others, for some reason, have lost this adaptation.
According to Bemis, only specific cells were lost, and the corresponding genes responsible for extrasensory perception did not disappear without a trace. They just doze.
Therefore, it is possible that amazing abilities are potentially inherent in people. But they are generally unaware of them. They don't use, they don't develop, they don't train.
Although some unique ones, perhaps, somehow realize what is given by nature, even in small crumbs. Or they are given more from birth than others. But this is enough to be known as psychics. Say, people-x-rays, able to see through others.
