A Woman of Competence and Intelligence

Lindsey wanted to see if shooting the focused magnetic pulses could change the way that people like kim cess language, their ability to pick up subtle shifts in inflection and tone of voice. In may of two thousand and eight before kim was placed under the magnet, she was given a battery of assessment tests so that they could compare before and after the magnet. Kim remembers reading these sentences, reading them just as she had read so many sentences before. You read the sentence, and this is the way it is. And then came the magnet, a small device maybe ten inches long, pressed into her scalp, shooting invisible magnetic fields in rhythmic bursts through her skull.
