Mainstream psychology, neuroscience, and professional medical organizations treat telepathy as unproven.
Ross CoulthartHOST
26:11
Um, the strongest laboratory case is a small disputed statistical excess in what are called Ganzfeld experiments.
Ross CoulthartHOST
26:23
And then you've got the, um, telepathy tapes experiment on non-verbal autistic kids.
Ross CoulthartHOST
26:29
Um, we're waiting to hear about the results of any potential peer-reviewed studies into the telepathy research that's been done by Kai Dickens, Dr. Julia Mossbridge, and Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell.
Ross CoulthartHOST
26:43
Looking forward to that very, very much.
Ross CoulthartHOST
26:46
But the, the most cited work that's been done is the so-called Ganzfeld protocol, where you have a receiver, a person, a human receiver, in sensory isolation.
Ross CoulthartHOST
26:56
They've often got ping pong balls over their eyes, hence really cool videos.
Ross CoulthartHOST
27:01
And they're given white noise so there's no possibility of them being, um, given the information orally or visually.
Jason SamosaGUEST
61:23
... and you use a diffused light.
Michael PhillipHOST
61:24
The Ganzfeld.
Jason SamosaGUEST
61:24
That's it.
Michael PhillipHOST
61:25
Yeah.
Ryder LeeGUEST
70:50
And there are several programs that, you know, kind of coincide with these things that people remember, such as the Ames Leaf Room, which was funded by the naval of office, uh, and intelligence research, uh, where this, uh, guy named Dr. Ames would take college students into a room and dose them with LSD and had a room with leaves all over it.
Ryder LeeGUEST
71:16
And they would go outside and go out of their minds and they would end up in an emergency room because it would be in like some kind of psychosis, uh, There's another experiment called the Gansfeld experiment that essentially induces hallucinations and activates your psychic abilities.
Ryder LeeGUEST
71:34
If people want to look more into that, just type in G-A-N-Z-F-E-L-D. Gansfeld experiment.
Ryder LeeGUEST
71:45
So people remember a lot of these weird and strange tests, and these weren't just normal tests, you know, because I think some people are confused about these and they think that they have something to do with, you know, the president's physical fitness test or the health department coming to the school and doing some kind of weird experiment.
Ryder LeeGUEST
72:04
It was a test once a month or, you know, once every quarter or once a year or whatever.
Jim ElvidgeGUEST
24:11
The odds against chance of those... or something like a million to one.
Jim ElvidgeGUEST
24:15
And then Dean Radin, of course, did some meta-analysis of all these Gansfield studies, these telepathy studies, and found odds against chance was like one times ten to the sixteenth to one.
Jim ElvidgeGUEST
24:28
So it exists.
Jim ElvidgeGUEST
24:29
Yeah, the paranormal, or what we call paranormal, which you could call subtle energies or something like that, it exists.
Jessica ChobotHOST
21:50
Ray Hyman, he remained skeptical and continued questioning whether those results actually demonstrated psychic ability or not.
Jessica ChobotHOST
21:58
Researchers still conduct things like Gansfeld experiments, where one person attempts to mentally transmit information to another person who is isolated from normal sensory input.
Jessica ChobotHOST
22:08
There are also experiments involving what's sometimes called presentiment, the idea that the body might somehow react to events seconds before the event itself actually occurs.
Jessica ChobotHOST
22:20
Some experiments have produced statistical results that researchers argue are anomalous, while other researchers have failed to reproduce those effects.
Adam HamerGUEST
11:46
And they would have little rooms off to the side that would either have analog machinery or they'd be super sterile and have either a metal like gurney thing.
Adam HamerGUEST
11:54
or a chair and then uh most of the stuff was done in rooms like this and then usually there would be two lights or three lights i think it was it was like a little look like a little stoplight thing but it's on the wall in front of you it's like a white room and those lights change colors and that's how that's how a standing sensory deprivation tank looks without water you just put a half ping pong balls over your eyes and then those lights turn on and they strobe at your eyes at different frequencies and that induces something called the gansfeld And it creates something called the Gansfeld induction, which is a method of it's a method of in training the brain.
Adam HamerGUEST
12:31
And what in training the brain means is that when we hear audio waves or light or see light waves, our brain matches the actual frequency of the waves.
Adam HamerGUEST
12:41
So the gateway tapes that were used in the gate programs, that's how they work today.
Adam HamerGUEST
14:46
Because they were multifaceted.
Adam HamerGUEST
14:49
Like, you're not...
Adam HamerGUEST
14:51
You're not collecting neural data from someone in an experimental like Gansfeld laboratory for no reason.
Adam HamerGUEST
14:57
You're doing that for multiple reasons.
speaker_1HOST
36:41
First, vision is reduced to zero.
speaker_1HOST
36:44
This triggers a phenomenon similar to the Gansfeld effect, where the brain, starved of visual contrast, struggles to process depth and distance.
speaker_0HOST
36:52
So you can't even trust what you're seeing.
speaker_1HOST
36:54
Correct.
speaker_2HOST
13:47
Yeah.
speaker_3HOST
13:48
There is this phenomenon in psychology called the Ganzfeld effect.
speaker_2HOST
13:53
I've heard of this.
speaker_3HOST
13:54
Have you?
