Again, you miss the point. Science isn't about speculating what "makes sense" and then calling it a day. You present a hypothesis and then try and fail it by objectively testing it. If it succeeds then you at least have a platform for developing a scientific theory. But saying it just "makes sense" that brains receives because it transmits (zero supporting objective evidence) therefore they have psychic powers (zero supporting objective evidence) just... doesn't make sense.

Peer-reviewed does not automatically mean good science, nor does publication in a journal automatically mean good science. All of the so-called "peer reviewed" papers on parapsychology are in fringe, multi-discipline journals (always a bad sign). To date, not a single experiment in parapsychology has independently and objectively delivered unambiguous and statistically significant results under controlled conditions using rigorous methodology. All we have is "could be, might be, seems like". This is far, far, far from conclusive and goes a long way to explaining why no supposedly conclusive results have been published in credible journals. There's always something amiss, be it flaws in the methodology, tiny sample sizes, conflicts of interest and so on. There is no grand conspiracy, it is simply a case of insufficient and unconvincing data. Could psychic powers be real? Who knows, I think it's highly unlikely but you'd be hard pushed to find anyone who wouldn't change their mind if compelling evidence was presented, no matter how BlueMule likes to ironically paint opposing voices as closed minded

My intentions here is to bring awareness that there are scientific studies that are testing this theory and show favor for esp. This is a phenomenon that is not common and very difficult to replicate and control, we are on the brinks of discovering ways of how to measure esp and I presented 2 videos on this, you have to understand this phenomenon goes deeper than matter... You think it's unlikely because you have no real experience with this phenomenon. The hypothesis I presented has been tested and shows support in esp, see page 3.
The data seems unconvincing because people pawn it off as "coincidence" but in reality they show no sincere evidence that is a coincidence. Ah the scientific dogma..

The brain is always transmitting energy at the low Hz scale and also very low powered, but it is there.. Who can tune in? not very many actually, but I have experienced it before, so I know it's possible, It lasted for several days and then faded away, which is a long story I won't go into here..
An experiment conducted by a group of Russian scientists on the transfer of telepathic energy proved that the nature of this energy is not within the boundaries of common science. In this experiment, a mother rabbit was separated from her babies and connected to an electronic instrument (EEG) to monitor her brain wave activity. The babies were taken aboard a submarine in the North Atlantic thousands of miles away from their mother and executed one at a time in deep water. Precisely at the time each baby was executed, the mother's brainwave activity registered extreme agitation. Because normal radio waves are unable to travel through water from the deep ocean, the conclusion from this experiment was that this telepathic transfer of energy was not by means of electromagnetic radiation or "typical" radio waves. What is more important, this experiment also proved that telepathy is very real, even among species that are less evolved than humans.

The Brain has nothing to do with it. Our Hearts are the Key.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: This study aims to contribute to a scientific understanding of intuition, a process by which information normally outside the range of conscious awareness is perceived by the psychophysiological systems. The first objective, presented in two empirical papers (Part 1 and Part 2), was to replicate and extend the results of previous experiments demonstrating that the body can respond to an emotionally arousing stimulus seconds before it is actually experienced. The second objective, to be presented in a third paper (Part 3), is to develop a theory that explains how the body receives and processes information involved in intuitive perception.
Design: The study used a counterbalanced crossover design, in which 30 calm and 15 emotionally arousing pictures were presented to 26 participants under two experimental conditions: a baseline condition of normal psychophysiologic function and a condition of physiological coherence. Primary measures included: skin conductance; the electroencephalogram (EEG), from which cortical event-related potentials and heartbeat- evoked potentials were derived; and the electrocardiogram (ECG), from which cardiac decelerations / accelerations were derived. These measures were used to investigate where and when in the brain and body intuitive information is processed.
Results: The study’s results are presented in two parts. The main findings in relation to the heart’s role in intuitive perception presented here are: (1) surprisingly, the heart appears to receive and respond to intuitive information; (2) a significantly greater heart rate deceleration occurred prior to future emotional stimuli compared to calm stimuli; (3) there were significant gender differences in the processing of prestimulus information. Part 2 will present results indicating where in the brain intuitive information is processed and data showing that prestimulus information from the heart is communicated to the brain. It also presents evidence that females are more attuned to intuitive information from the heart.
Conclusions: Overall, we have independently replicated and extended previous research documenting prestimulus responses. It appears that the heart is involved in the processing and decoding of intuitive information. Once the prestimulus information is received in the psychophysiologic systems, it appears to be processed in the same way as conventional sensory input. This study presents compelling evidence that the body’s perceptual apparatus is continuously scanning the future. To account for the results presented in Parts 1 and 2, Part 3 will develop a theory based on holographic principles explaining how intuitive perception accesses a field of energy into which information about future events is spectrally enfolded.

I've been reading a bit lately about psychic links between two people and there are a lot of accounts where two people believe strongly they have some kind of psychic link. It can be very sudden and distressing for them and they try anything to try to break the link as it is unwanted.
Are they nuts? Do they both have delusional disorder? What is going on I don't know but if you experience it it seems very strange and overwhelming apparently. Certainly the human mind is still a great mystery.

Telepathy as far as fantasy writers are involved, is not real. There are many ways to know what people are thinking.
If youve ever watched tv shows with characters like dr house or sherlock holmes, that is as far as precognition goes. Its all advanced logic which leads to predictive models that replicate reality.
It really is that easy.
But let me say that if you chasing your tail looking for magic keeps you alive long enough for me to create a world you should have hope in... have fun.

Often people decieve themselves about the order or outcome of events, there is alot of evidence to back that up.
When people give these pithy stories of personal revelation they never seem to see how little content their stories have.
i read minds all the time, the more you know someone the more you can do it, because its based on evidence and reasoning.edit on 5-1-2013 by Wertdagf because: (no reason given)
