title: Human homing: still no evidence despite geomagnetic controls.
abstract: Baker's highly influential and widely cited studies suggest that people are capable of non-visual navigational performance comparable to that of homing pigeons. Past failures to replicate this work have been attributed by Baker to geomagnetic influences. We report a series of experiments in which both temporal and spatial geomagnetic controls were introduced. We could still find no evidence for blindfold homeward orientation in humans.
