The video explores the concept of human magnetoreception, inspired by animals' ability to sense Earth's magnetic field. Researchers at Caltech conduct an experiment to determine if humans can detect magnetic fields, using EEG to measure brain activity. The study finds that while humans may have a subliminal response to magnetic fields, it remains unclear if this sense is functional for navigation. The video also discusses cultural and technological factors that may affect human magnetoreception.
