Can a really strong magnet "short circuit" our brain?
gpt
The main difference between a computer and a brain here is the form of energy being moved. While a wire has electrons travel along its length, a neuron has more positive ions on one side of its membrane than the other, and it allows the charge to equalise when another neuron stimulates it. The signal is of a different form in a neuron, so magnets don't behave exactly the same way. Also, a magnet can't attract an ion like it does metal, because charge and polarity are different things. The north pole of a magnet will not attract a positive charge.
