この研究は、ウサギにおける電磁界（EMF）の感覚的受容部位を調べるアプローチとして再帰定量化解析（RQA）を適用し、2.5 G、60 Hz磁界のばく露を受ける部位を変化させた場合のウサギ（n = 10）の脳電図（EEG）を解析した。この解析法は、定常性を考慮することなく、大きな信号中に埋もれた小さな決定論的な変化を検出するように設計された非線形解析の新しい方法である。その結果、全身ばく露の場合、RQAの2つの定量尺度の有意な増加が示されたことから、決定論性が増加した；動物の前半分のみをばく露した場合も同様の結果が得られた；後半分のみをばく露した場合、EEGへの影響は見られなかった；頭部への限局的ばく露の場合、EEGでの決定論性への影響が再び見られた；さらにばく露を眼に局所化した場合、影響は見られなかった；総括すると、電磁界の検出が、おそらく脳で起きるであろうことが示されたが、用いた方法では特定の脳構造を識別する解像度がなかった、と報告している。

The anatomic location of magnetic field sensing in rabbits should be determined by partial body exposure to a 60 Hz magnetic field.
The EEG of 10 rabbits was recorded during several exposure trials. Each trial lastet 7 seconds, with exposure during the first 2 seconds (exposure condition) and no exposure during the other 5 seconds. The last 2 seconds (second 6 and 7) of each trial were definded as the control condition and seconds 4 and 5 were defined as the sham exposure condition (used to verify the control condition).
The area of exposure was scaled down decreasingly to identify the location of magnetic field sensing. First, a whole body exposure was conducted, then the front and back body half were exposed separately. Afterwards, exposure was focused on the head and finally on the eye of each animal. For each exposure condition, n=50 trials were recorded.

Whole body exposure led to significant changes in the EEG compared to the control condition. Exposure of the front half of the body led to a comparative result, whereas no changes could be observed when the back half was exposed. Further exposure of the head resulted in significant changes in the EEG in comparison the control condition, while an exposure of the eye did not show significant EEG changes.
There were no significant differences between control and sham exposure conditions.
The authors conclude that sensing of the 60 Hz magnetic field occurs in in the head of rabbits, probably in the brain.
