I don't think the brain has anything to do with it. You just hold the

something is below the rods.

You cannot make them cross. They just do it themselves. There is no
input from the user, other than to hold the rods so that they can
respond to whatever it is that makes them cross.

Oh no, please. This is not Narnia or Xanth and inanimate objects do
not move themselves!


They do not move themselves. The fact that almost anyone can get
results using metal rods suggests that some form of electromagnetic
force makes the rods cross.

If you, and other sceptics, just tried it, you would soon stop
bleating about how it doesn't work. I was a complete sceptic but gave
it a try because a respected colleague suggested I should. Not only
did it work, but I found it very useful in my job as a civil engineer.

I am degree educated and professionally qualified. I would not
suggest that dowsing works if I did not have personal experience that
proved it does, overcoming my strong scepticism in the process.

So you could devise an experiment that, if successful, would disprove the
'move by some form of electromagnetic force' theory?
