Cosmogenic isotopes provide the most extendable indirect data on the cosmic ray flux, the state of the heliosphere, and hence on the solar
magnetic activity during the past.

A set of functional
magnetic resonance imaging recordings of the temporal lobes
during both tasks backed up the researchers» hypothesis: brain
activity was similar each time a volunteer consciously looked at the same face or house, but invisible stimuli evoked a more variable response (Science, DOI: 10.1126 / science.1180029).
While measuring brain
activity with
magnetic resonance imaging

magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, to examine children's brain

activity is at its peak,
magnetic lines surround the sun.
To examine the link, researchers measured blood glucose levels and hunger, while also using functional
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to observe brain
activity during the crucial four - hour period after a meal, which influences eating behavior at the next meal.

During this test, the subjects were scanned with functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure their brain
activity while carrying out the task.

magnetic resonance imaging to measure increased blood flow throughout the brain, a marker of increased neural
activity,
during a wide range of
activities, including finger - tapping, whistling, chewing, drawing, writing, reading, watching a movie and playing video games and memory games.
During their early life, Sun - like stars spin very fast, creating extremely high levels of
magnetic activity that drive powerful stellar flares, coronal mass ejections, and an outpouring of X-ray and ultraviolet radiation.

during Prager's tenure include a new facility to investigate
magnetic reconnection, an explosive process that is found throughout the universe; a plasma nanotechnology laboratory, and fledgling
activities in mass separation using ideas from plasma physics.

activity marker ZENK
during magnetic compass orientation, we demonstrate a functional neuronal connection between the retinal neurons and Cluster N via the visual thalamus.
There is no room for complacency, Svalgaard warns: «If the Earth does cool
during the next sunspot crash and we do nothing, when the sun's
magnetic activity returns, global warming will return with a vengeance.»
We find
during the past 11,400 years the Sun spent only of the order of 10 % of the time at a similar high level of
magnetic activity and almost all of the earlier high -
activity periods were shorter than the present episode.»
For a while I thought that direct
magnetic inductive heating of the Earth might be associated with the increased warming observed
during periods of high solar
activity.
Because model A contains some remaining
magnetic activity, our approach does not imply that the solar dynamo stops
during the periods when the modulation potential is equal to zero.
When the
magnetic fields surrounding the earth were strong,
during periods of high sunspot
activity, cosmic rays were deflected away from the earth.
The advantage of the strong
magnetic clasp is that it keeps the tracker steady and safe even
during dynamic sporting
activities.
