(This is entirely speculative and I don’t study biology)
I found out recently that we’ve experimented with and effectively demonstrated changing gene expression by applying electrical current, I wonder if human biology could be sensitive to the emf in some way https://doi.org/10.3389/fmolb.2023.1161191
Looks like an in vitro study with human cells, very interesting. I’ll save the paper for later perusal. Thank you! And point out that the Arndt–Schulz rule may apply here, in substances, and as it appears to do with electrostim. A small stimuli (microamperage current) stimulates the physiologic response, and a large stimuli (milliamperage current) inhibits physiologic response. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arndt–Schulz_rule (wikipedia page may need some update).

Ohh would be very interested in your takeaway if you do end up having time to dig in a bit! As an avid sci-fi fan I like the idea of the earth’s EMF playing a role gene expression.
It does seem like a large electric current would not have the same stimulating (or modulating?) effects as the experiment in the study, but I suppose there are some genes we would want to discourage the expression of, so if something like Arndt-Schulz applies that could be pretty useful.
