Does the human brain produce AC or DC magnetic fields?
 
I would presume that since the connection are short pulses they would be seen as AC.

Static electric charge can only generate an electric field, but moving charges (as one has in brain activity) create magnetic fields. Both are very weak.
 
Billions of nerve impulses in the brain create complicated changing human magnetic fields. These changing fields induce changing electric fields. These two fields are correlated to carry messages.
