151. Case report: a prototypical experience of 'poltergeist' activity, conspicuous quantitative electroencephalographic patterns, and sLORETA profiles - suggestions for intervention

Neurocase. 2012;18(6):527-36. doi: 10.1080/13554794.2011.633532. Epub 2012 Jan 9. Case report: a prototypical experience of 'poltergeist' activity, conspicuous quantitative electroencephalographic patterns, and sLORETA profiles - suggestions for intervention. Roll WG, Saroka KS, Mulligan BP, Hunter MD, Dotta BT, Gang N, Scott MA, St-Pierre LS, Persinger MA. Department of Psychology, University of West Georgia, Carrollton, GA, USA. Abstract People who report objects moving in their presence, unusual sounds, glows around other people, and multiple sensed presences but do not meet the criteria for psychiatric disorders have been shown to exhibit electrical anomalies over the right temporal lobes. This article reports the striking quantitative electroencephalography, sLORETA results, and experimental elicitation of similar subjective experiences in a middle-aged woman who has been distressed by these classic phenomena that began after a head injury. She exhibited a chronic electrical anomaly over the right temporoinsular region. The rotation of a small pinwheel near her while she 'concentrated' upon it was associated with increased coherence between the left and right temporal lobes and concurrent activation of the left prefrontal region. The occurrence of the unusual phenomena and marked 'sadness' was associated with increased geomagnetic activity; she reported a similar mood when these variations were simulated experimentally. Our quantitative measurements suggest people displaying these experiences and possible anomalous energies can be viewed clinically and potentially treated.

152. Psychic Ops

Earlier this month, Prudence Calabrese, a West Coast psychic, flew into New York on business. She had two meetings: One was a catered sushi lunch at an uptown hedge fund that had hired her, for about $20,000, to predict this year's profit outlook. ("Their investors will be very happy.") The second, she says, was with agents from the FBI. During the Cold War, the Pentagon spent millions training "remote viewers" to spy on Russian military targets. (The Soviets, of course, had their own psychics.) The program, called Stargate, was very controversial, very X-Files, and until funding was cut in 1995, completely classified.

Çok zorlama olarak buradan Anıtkabir çıkarılabilir! Biraz daha çalışmak ve yoğunlaşmak lazım.          Aşağıdaki acaba genel oalrak Ankara mı?

Bazı noktalar yakalanmış ama olay epey fantezi çizimlere kaymış. Mantıksallaştırılmış belkide! Belki bayrak, Anıtkabir ve ilk okul anılarıyla harmanlanmış bilgiler bir araya gelmiş. Ama bazı noktaları yakalamış. Kırmızı çerçeve içine alınan noktaları. Ama iyi, 30-54 dakika ayırmış bunun için. Tebrikler. Gelecekte çok daha iyi olacaktır. Çizgilerden belli...

156. Correcting the past: failures to replicate ψ

J Pers Soc Psychol. 2012 Dec;103(6):933-48. doi: 10.1037/a0029709. Epub 2012 Aug 27. Correcting the past: failures to replicate ψ. Galak J, Leboeuf RA, Nelson LD, Simmons JP. Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University, 5000 Forbes Avenue, Office 381-D, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA. jgalak@cmu.edu Abstract Across 7 experiments (N = 3,289), we replicate the procedure of Experiments 8 and 9 from Bem (2011), which had originally demonstrated retroactive facilitation of recall. We failed to replicate that finding. We further conduct a meta-analysis of all replication attempts of these experiments and find that the average effect size (d = 0.04) is no different from 0. We discuss some reasons for differences between the results in this article and those presented in Bem (2011).

158. Is Belief In Telepathy Unscientific?

Rigorous experiments seem to suggest that ESP and mental telepathy are real, yet these phenomena are rejected as hoaxes by mainstream science, because belief in mind reading would contradict the most basic laws of our understanding of reality. Or would it? Via Reality Sandwich, Chris Carter argues that telepathy and quantum physics go hand-in-hand:

159. Photon reaches from beyond the grave in quantum trick

EINSTEIN mockingly called it "spooky action at a distance": the finding that quantum particles can influence each other regardless of how far apart they are. We can only imagine his horror at a new experiment that extends the idea to time by entangling a pair of photons that never coexisted. As well as expanding the reach of quantum theory's baffling implications, the experiment could improve long-distance cryptography. At the heart of the phenomena is entanglement, in which the quantum states of two entities become linked. The implications of this for spatially distant particles stumped even Einstein, but things got still stranger last year. Joachim von Zanthier of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany and his colleagues showed that, in principle, entanglement could also work for particles that have never existed at the same time (Optics Letters, doi.org/bdwpsj). Now Hagai Eisenberg of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel and colleagues have done the experiment, via a process called an entanglement swap. If you have two pairs of entangled photons, taking one photon from each pair and entangling them disengages the two original pairs, and creates a second, fresh entanglement between the two, left out photons. Eisenberg's team used the swap to entangle a photon with one that no longer existed. They started with an entangled pair of photons, 1 and 2, and then measured the quantum state of photon 1, which destroys the particle. Photon 2, however, lived on and, about 100 nanoseconds later, the team created a new pair of entangled photons, 3 and 4. When the team entangled photon 2 with newborn photon 3, photon 4 also became entangled with photon 1 - even though 1 was by then "dead" (see diagram). The team knew 4 was entangled with 1 by measuring 4's state, which depended on the states measured for 1, 2 and 3 (arxiv.org/abs/1209.4191v1). "Without the idea of entanglement, you cannot explain it," says von Zanthier, who was not involved in the latest experiment. "The future photon, which is not born, is strongly influenced by a photon that is already dead." The result could boost quantum cryptography, in which entangled photons are used to transmit a secret key for ciphers. Entanglement makes the process secure because if a photon is intercepted, its partner registers this, allowing the key to be ditched. Entanglement swapping can enable the process over enormous distances. Take an entangled pair, 1 and 2, created in London. Photon 2 can be sent to Paris, where an entanglement swap with another pair, 3 and 4, takes place. Photon 4 is now entangled with 1 - still in London - and can then be sent to Berlin. Quantum communication between London and Berlin is now possible, even though no single photon has travelled that distance. The process can be extended by further swaps, all the way to Beijing, say. But currently, London would have to hold on to its photons until the chain is complete - which gets trickier as the total distance increases. The new experiment shows that London can measure its photons well before Beijing's even exist. "London can already start working," says Johannes Kofler of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany. "That's cool."
