Signal events

What a Schumann resonance spike can mean

A bright band or amplitude spike is a change in measured signal power. It is worth investigating as a signal event, but it is not evidence that the fundamental frequency has increased or that a person has experienced a specific effect.

Amplitude is not frequency

Amp F1 measures the strength of the detected fundamental-mode signal. F1 measures the mode's frequency. They can move differently: a stronger signal may remain close to the same frequency, while a frequency shift does not automatically imply a larger amplitude.

Check the whole pattern

Use the timestamp, neighboring harmonic bands, Q-factor, local data gaps, and the duration of the event. Lightning source distribution, ionospheric conditions, sensor noise, and processing choices can all contribute to a visible change.

Avoid claims the data cannot support

The public reading is a geophysical measurement. It does not establish a medical, emotional, or spiritual cause for an individual's experience. Treat the spike as a prompt to inspect the record, not as a diagnosis or prediction.
