I recently heard a lecture that claimed that "halos” or "auras" some people see are humans' magnetic fields. I'd like to see some research on it.

i'd be curious how they imagine that works, how do you see electric fields like that?

because, and excuse me for making a truly unorthodox claim here, it seems like the people who believe in auras might be making shit up?
