That might be because astute ATSers understand that such stimulation is caused by time-varying magnetic fields and not dwarf-wielded bar magnets, but more likely it didn't seem relevant.
Regardless of who or what I find it fascinating that it is being scientifically proven that magnets do have an effect on the brain and that the so called sufferer of Schizophrenia somehow concocted or correlated this.

Well, they didn't really, unless they've got a fairly advanced setup.
You can't just stick magnets on your hat and get this to work. The devices you reference use time-varying magnetic fields to induce a small current in the conductive goo in your head. They're applying varying frequencies of AC to small electromagnets located in strategic locations. It's not like truthermantwo's magnet hat - that does nothing.

Again the fact that magnets at whatever strength or sophistication having an effect on the brain is albeit a fascinating coincidence!

And what's just amazing, is that you see an 18th century schizophrenic exhibit EXACTLY the same delusional beliefs you see today.
Implants, mind control, torture at a distance, gang stalking, you name it, he came up with it. And often described in very similar terms.

Who are you talking about?

Why?
If you strain hard enough for it, one can draw all sorts of conclusions that are unlikely. Case in point - the Army at one time was deeply into research of "neutral scents" - chemicals that stimulate so-called 'silent' olfactory nerves. We're not sure what they're for - they don't elicit sensations of olfaction. You don't actually smell a scent. But it triggers nerves to the memory and emotional centers of the brain. They may be for pheromones. But some of them cause panic, unease, confusion and the like. Matthews thought that people were being controlled by dog farts and other stenches. WOW! A conclusion from the future!
Or, it's a random correlation. You decide.
BTW, the nature of a time varying magnetic field's effect on a conductive solution is to induce a current. One might also just hook up some wires and get the same effect, the benefit of a time varying h-field is that it's less invasive. That's all.
