#Electrosensitivity
Just a wiki search, so...grain of salt! But yeah. For other electric stuff with fish, look up the 'named like a wizard orb' the "Ampullae of Loranzini", which allows creatures like sharks to have electrosensitivity!

Why do treehoppers look so weird?! Our latest paper, out this week in @pnas.org, suggests a perhaps unexpected reason - static electricity ⚡ We show that treehoppers can detect the electrostatic cues of predators and that their crazy shapes may boost their electrosensitivity! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

The link between form and function of an organism’s morphology is usually apparent or intuitive. However, some clades of organisms show remarkable ...

It feels to me like the spillover went the other way. We already had battery glonzo (lithium mines will consume the entire crust of the planet) and solar glonzo (PV panels leach cadmium into crops) and wind glonzo (whale cancer) and of course grid glonzo (electrosensitivity) has been long-practiced.

Nnnnnnnn.... not create extreme morphologies to assist with electrosensitivity detection and then turn them loose in the warp core to get data

This is how “electrosensitivity” started: people with real symptoms ignored by doctors looked around and said, ah ha! Wi-Fi! (Some great double-blind studies plus metastudy reviews find actual symptoms. Just uncorrelated with wireless signals.)

And, honestly, there's another reason to put that paragraph where it was. It's a good paragraph. It's a great paragraph. It's a paragraph you want the judge to read. And there is a slight chance that the judge stops reading at this next paragraph because OH MY FREAKING GOD.

Another banger from Peter Bräunig. His papes are always crazy and understated. Same with Hans Joachim Pflüger. There is just something special insect neuroethologists with umlauts. Bässler is another example.

Beyond The Bite: Exploring Electrosensitivity In Elasmobranch Predators

A recent study has discovered a relationship between body size and electrosensitivity in sandbar sharks, challenging traditional knowledge about this system.

Quick- what shark species has the most sensitive electrosensitivty system? If you guessed sandbar shark #BestShark , you're absolutely right! Just another superlative for this amazing animals. 🧪🌎🦑🦈🐟

During elasmobranch ontogeny, increasing body size has been proposed to result in a tradeoff between increased sensitivity and decreased spatial resolution of the electrosensory system, but this hypot...

Electrosensitivity could be helpful for solving crimes. On the other hand, the poison spurs on his hind legs probably get him in trouble with his superiors a lot, as Internal Affairs take a dim view of detectives inadvertently poisoning suspects during arrest.

“The present study provides the first empirical evidence that highly sensitive individuals are capable of perceiving electromagnetic radiation.”
If confirmed, this finding would be a milestone in EHS research.

Human Electrosensitivity

To paraphrase this open access study: This type of conscious human #electrosensitivity is both real and immediate. Importantly, this type of electrosensitivity varies widely between individuals.

I think electromagnetism and electrogenesis are a great way of introducing "magic" to non-magical settings and I like this idea a lot. Electrosensitivity is also great in magical settings too. This is a great idea. :D

I'm really looking forward to reading this new paper about #EHS, although it's possible that I may not be in complete agreement with the reasoning and conclusions of the two authors (one ex-ICNIRP, and the other a current #ICNIRP Commission member).

We'll see..

Gonna be helped by the fact that unlike some other bullshit (e.g. electrosensitivity) there is absolutely no way you could do a properly blinded study on that!
