We construct a nonrelativistic wave equation for spinning particles in the noncommutative space (in a sense, a θ-modification of the Pauli equation). To this end, we consider the nonrelativistic limit of the θ-modified Dirac equation. To complete the consideration, we present a pseudoclassical model (à la Berezin-Marinov) for the corresponding nonrelativistic particle in the noncommutative space. To justify the latter model, we demonstrate that its quantization leads to the θ-modified Pauli

We extract θ-modified interaction between a nonrelativistic spin and a magnetic field from such a Pauli equation and construct a θ-modification of the Heisenberg model for two coupled spins placed in an external magnetic field. In the framework of such a model, we calculate the probability transition between two orthogonal EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) states for a pair of spins in an oscillatory magnetic field and show that some of such transitions, which are forbidden in the commutative space, are possible due to the space noncommutativity. This allows us to estimate an upper bound on the noncommutativity parameter.
