- God's helmet experiment is based on RTMS and is a controversial neurotheological experiment conducted by neuroscientist Michael Persinger of Laurence University in Canada. Used to study the relationship between neural activity and religious experience.
- He asked participants to put on a modified motorcycle helmet, and the magnetic field began to stimulate the brain. Persinger claimed that in this way, participants had near-death experiences, such as light, the presence of God, and the sight of deceased relatives.
- Richard Akins, an atheist known for criticizing religion, volunteered to test Possinger's "God's helmet". After the experiment, Dakins admitted in an interview with the BBC that he was very disappointed and did not experience communication with the universe or other spiritual feelings. In addition, it is worth mentioning that a person who had previously experienced a near-death experience was also tested by Posinger's "God Helmet", but the results did not replicate the same experience.
- Interesting fact: At least 80% of participants reported a religious experience, making them feel the presence of another mysterious character in a room where only one person had. However, their feelings are different, some say That's God, some say acquaintances who have died.
- Excessive stimulation of the magnetic field can cause protein changes, and cooperation can cause memory loss.
