There was some medically inadvisable biohackery going on with magnet capsules implanted into fingertips I remember from a while back. Thereafter reporting being able to feel electrical fields as they move/vibrate. A similar sort of neuroplasticity being the compass belt that pops up every so often. Is it possible to make a medically safe magnetic materials that could produce similar effects with enough responsivity where the brain can pick up and adapt to the stimuli?

Hello. I'm not sure! I have never worked with magnetic materials but know that magnets have been used medically (externally) for example to control small robots that deliver drugs into the back of your eye. The brain and recreating electrical signals is very far from my research field I'm afraid!
