Nay. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine uses magnetism to align the electrons of hydrogen atoms (if I remember correctly)... Magnetism produces a current and has some effect on the electrical activity of the brain.
That's not to say the silly experiment is worth trying, though. I doubt there would be any appreciable effect caused by the magnet. Still, this forum reaches so many talented people I thought it might be worth suggesting.
