Research Interests:

Neuroscience and epidemiology - My primary research interests include the study of:

• the biological effects of global geomagnetic activity
• the effects of heavy metals in the water supply upon development
• the mechanisms by which complex magnetic fields generated by human technology affect biological systems
• the epidemiology of transient and unusual events (space-time transients)
• biomolecuar and histological consequences of traumatic brain injury from mechanical impacts to the skull
• the treatment of pain by electromagnetic patterns
• multivariate (histological) analyses of organs as a matrix and its relationship to behavior and disease
