Abstract
Within the frames of Alfvén sweep maser theory the description of morphological features of geomagnetic pulsations in the ionosphere with frequencies (0.1-10 Hz) in the vicinity of Schumann resonance (7.83 Hz) is obtained. It is shown that the related regular spectral shapes of geomagnetic pulsations in the ionosphere determined by "viscosity" and "elasticity" of magneto-plasma medium that control the nonlinear relaxation of energy and deviation of Alfvén wave energy around its equilibrium value. Due to the fact that the frequency bands of Alfvén maser resonant structures practically coincide with the frequency band delta- and partially theta-rhythms of human brain, the problem of degree of possible impact of electromagnetic "pearl" type resonant structures (0.1-5 Hz) onto the brain bio-rhythms stability is discussed.
I love the topic of giant electromagnetic phenomena. Fun topics related to whistlers: STEVE travels at about 3 miles/second and was recently discovered, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_(atmospheric_phenomeno... Also, for some reason the human brain emits EM waves with…
