''Kryptopterus bicirrhis are'' extremely responsive to magnetic stimuli and are known to have electroreceptor organs already.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Peters |first1=Robert |last2=Bretschneider |first2=Franklin |last3=Eeuwes |first3=Lonneke |date=2008-01-01 |title=Open lumina of microampullary electroreceptor organs in the transparent catfish, Kryptopterus bicirrhis (Valenciennes 1840), contain 50 mM potassium: why? |url=https://brill.com/view/journals/ab/58/3/article-p313_5.xml |journal=Animal Biology |language=en |volume=58 |issue=3 |pages=313–319 |doi=10.1163/157075608X344631 |issn=1570-7563}}</ref> Typically, fish that have this sensitivity to magnetic stimuli are [[Migratory fish|migratory]] and use this for their sense of direction, but they are nonmigratory fish. The ''Kryptopterus bicirrhis'' swim away from any [[magnetic field]] above the value of 20 μT ([[microtesla]]).<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Hunt |first1=Ryan D. |last2=Ashbaugh |first2=Ryan C. |last3=Reimers |first3=Mark |last4=Udpa |first4=Lalita |last5=Saldana De Jimenez |first5=Gabriela |last6=Moore |first6=Michael |last7=Gilad |first7=Assaf A. |last8=Pelled |first8=Galit |date=2021-03-05 |editor-last=Roman |editor-first=Gregg |title=Swimming direction of the glass catfish is responsive to magnetic stimulation |journal=PLOS ONE |language=en |volume=16 |issue=3 |pages=e0248141 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0248141 |pmid=33667278 |pmc=7935302 |bibcode=2021PLoSO..1648141H |issn=1932-6203 |doi-access=free }}</ref> This is due to their EPG (electromagnetic perceptive gene), that of which increases the calcium content in the animal’s cells when the EMF (electromagnetic field) is stronger.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Krishnan |first1=Vijai |last2=Park |first2=Sarah A. |last3=Shin |first3=Samuel S. |last4=Alon |first4=Lina |last5=Tressler |first5=Caitlin M. |last6=Stokes |first6=William |last7=Banerjee |first7=Jineta |last8=Sorrell |first8=Mary E. |last9=Tian |first9=Yuemin |last10=Fridman |first10=Gene Y. |last11=Celnik |first11=Pablo |last12=Pevsner |first12=Jonathan |last13=Guggino |first13=William B. |last14=Gilad |first14=Assaf A. |last15=Pelled |first15=Galit |date=2018-06-08 |title=Wireless control of cellular function by activation of a novel protein responsive to electromagnetic fields |journal=Scientific Reports |language=en |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=8764 |doi=10.1038/s41598-018-27087-9 |issn=2045-2322 |pmc=5993716 |pmid=29884813|bibcode=2018NatSR...8.8764K }}</ref> This research may, in the future, have great impacts on how we might control cell activity without having to physically touch cells. This might help to increase the amount of noninvasive brain surgeries, granted more research gets done.
