WTF?

What emprical evidence

do they have of (a) the magnetism and (b) its effect on brains?

Furthermore, these chaps are physicists. this looks a bit outside of their field. It's one thing to say they don't believe in ball lightening; it's another thing altogether to come up with this magnestism/brain theory. I'd be interested to hear what a neuroscientist or cognitive psychologist has to say about it.
