Have you really "synch'ed" your heart rate with a strong pulsing
magnetic field?
I've not heard of the heart being stimulated in this way. A similar
technique used on the brain (TCMS) requires about 2 Tesla pulses.
You are confusing transcranial magnetic stimulation with brainwave
synchronization via low-intensity magnetic fields. The former requires
multi-Tesla pulses, the latter, micro- or nano-Tesla level ones.
There was some excellent research done along these lines about 1968 or
so by German researchers who constructed underground bunkers, one with a
low intensity alternating magnetic field emitter, another one with iron
shielding to block all magnetic fields. The alternating field had
significant psychological/physiological effects (positive ones,
alleviating some of the worst effects of living in a bunker), and these
were observed repeatedly in many different experimental subjects.
To get back on topic, it might be interesting to modulate a Tesla coil
at 10Hz or so (a frequency to which the brain entrains very readily) and
use an interference-resistant EEG to determine whether the Tesla coil
can affect brain waves. To reduce interference on the EEG one might try
an active electrode that puts an opamp buffer directly at the electrode
site, for example.
