Cells are continually exposed to a range of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), including those from the Schumann resonance to radio waves. The effects of EMFs on cells are diverse and vary based on the specific EMF type. Recent research suggests potential therapeutic applications of EMFs for various diseases. In this study, we explored the impact of a...
Common stressors amongst postsecondary students are exam-induced anxiety and stress. The purpose of this study was to measure stress alterations in the student population around examinations and determine how they affect electroencephalogram (EEG) profiles and memory scores. Twenty university students were measured multiple times in the study. Duri...
Musical stimuli can induce a variety of emotions in individuals. We sought to determine whether different valenced music would induce EEG profile changes and self-reported emotional states in individuals following the viewing of a complex video with a concrete narrative and emotional ambivalence. We used a five-minute video titled "El Empleo", coup...
Background
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces an inflammatory reaction that is associated with postoperative complications. Influenza vaccination has been shown to decrease cardiovascular morbidity in patients with cardiovascular disease, possibly via its anti-inflammatory properties. We hypothesize tha...
Anorexia nervosa is a severe eating disorder that affects 0.3–0.9% of women and 0.1–0.3% of men. It has a lifetime mortality rate of 5–20%, which is the highest mortality rate of any mental illness and is twelve times higher than death rates for all causes of death for females 15–24 years of age. The DSM-V classification of anorexia nervosa include...
There have been various definitions of treatment-resistant schizophrenia recommended by practice guidelines and various clinical trials. No clear consensus exists for a single definition, but in general treatment resistance has been defined as an inadequate response to at least two different antipsychotic trials at the maximally tolerated dose. Clo...
Clinical recovery from sport-related concussion occurs within 7-14 days of injury. Electroencephalographic studies evaluating the persistent effects of concussion have provided mixed results. In this study, we investigated the effect of contact sports exposure on daily quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) activity reliability
Quantitative electroencephalography is a primary measurement by which dysfunctional conditions can be inferred and characterized within the human cerebrum. There is an implicit assumption that anomalous spatial-temporal configurations over the surface of a patient's scalp are strongly correlated with altered cognitive behaviors or that both share a...
Rostral-caudal standing resonance waves over the human cerebrum have been hypothesized and demonstrated. Here we demonstrate the emergence of resonant current density profiles when the measures from the right and left lingual gyrus and right and left anterior cingulate were spectral analyzed for QEEG records from 237 normal volunteers. The first th...
There exists a space between the ionosphere and the surface of the earth within which electromagnetic standing waves, generated by lightning strikes, can resonate around the earth; these standing waves are known collectively as the Schumann resonances. In the late 1960s König and Ankermuller already reported striking similarities between these elec...
Transatlantic Study: Experimental Production of Excess Correlation of Right Temporal Theta-Gamma Activity Between Subjects Pairs Sharing Circumcerebral Rotating Magnetic Fields
In 1954 and 1960 Koenig and his colleagues described the remarkable similarities of spectral power density profiles and patterns between the earth-ionosphere resonance and human brain activity which also share magnitudes for both electric field (mV/m) and magnetic field (pT) components. In 2006 Pobachenko and colleagues reported real time coherence...
Background Since 1980 we have assessed individuals who report electromagnetic sensitivity and “hearing voices” who do not display formal thought disorder but are clearly distressed by their experiences. Their intellectual levels and memory scores are average to above average with no neuropsychological impairment although right prefrontal deficits h...
Previous experiments with chemiluminescent reactions indicated that when two loci separated by “non-local” distances shared specific temporal parameters of rotating magnetic fields with changing angular velocities the photon emissions doubled as if the spaces were superimposed. This excess correlation was considered an experimental demonstration of...
There have been multiple historical and cross-cultural reports of excess correlation of specific experiences between individuals separated by thousands of kilometers. Recently there have been experimental demonstrations of excess correlations between measurable cerebral events for small percentages of test subjects. More reliable effects can be eli...

Spectral Power Densities (SPD) within the Quantitative Electroencephalographic (QEEGs) Profiles of 41 men and women displayed repeated transient coherence with the first three modes (7-8 Hz, 13-14 Hz, and 19-20 Hz) of the Schumann Resonance in real time. The duration of the coherence was about 300 ms about twice per min. Topographical map clusters...
Theoretical calculations by Del Giudice and Preparata and direct measurements in spring water by us have shown that the effects of applied specifically-patterned weak magnetic fields to volumes of spring water might be “trapped” or maintained within coherent domains. The tumor masses (1-2 gm) within mice that had been exposed for 30 min to 1 μT, pa...
The multiple quantitative similarities of basic frequencies, harmonics, magnetic field intensities, voltages, band widths, and energetic solutions that define the Schumann resonances within the separation between the earth and ionosphere and the activity within the human cerebral cortices suggest the capacity for direct interaction. The recent expe...

When the energy within the mass of the human brain that is associated with the intrinsic range in fluctuations of the Gravitational Constant (G) is set equal to the energy from a magnetic field (B) within the cerebral volume and solved for B, a value in the order of 20 to 50 nT is obtained. Quantitative Electroencephalographic (QEEG) and sLORETA (L...

This study investigated if changes in interbrain coherence as measured by quantitative electroencephalography occur during distant (non-local) Reiki procedures where the stimulus and response person who never met were separated by 50 m. Compared to sham-procedure pairs, Reiki pairs displayed increased shared transcerebral coherence within the theta...
Exotic experiences such as the sensing of another consciousness or the detachment of consciousness from the body are occasionally reported by individuals with partial seizures from a temporal lobe focus. The experiences display the characteristics of Hughlings Jackson's "parasitic consciousness". We have hypothesized that these experiences are enco...
To answer the queries concerning penetrability of ~1 µT, physiologically patterned, time-varying magnetic fields through the cranium, the proportions of attenuation through thicknesses and densities of ~3 times that of the human skull were measured directly. There was no reduction in the intensity of the magnetic field when two 2 cm thick dried pin...
Photons are emitted during brain activity and when applied externally alter its functional connectivity during the resting state. In the present study we applied constant or time varying light (~10,000 lux) stimuli to one side of the skull and measured by photomultiplier tubes the photon density emitted from the opposite side of the skull along its...
Previous research published by Venkatasubramanian et al. (2008) in this journal showed markedly enhanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activity within the right parahippocampal region of a gifted person while he experienced accurate telepathic impression. The present research is designed to discern if Sean Harribance, a reliable psyc...
Bókkon's hypothesis that photons released from chemical processes within the brain produce biophysical pictures during visual imagery has been supported experimentally. In the present study measurements by a photomultiplier tube also demonstrated significant increases in ultraweak photon emissions (UPEs) or biophotons equivalent to about 5×10(-11)W...
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...
The audible energies associated with intense meaningful words significantly affect our experience and responses. Personal listening devices (such as music players) emit weak-intensity magnetic fields, that are shadowed by the sonic patterns, which have been associated with the induction of affective experiences experimentally within the laboratory....
Sounds found at 'sacred sites' marked by art‐rock have been reported to induce altered or mystical states. To determine the neural correlates of these sounds we measured brain activity with a quantitative electroencephalograph (QEEG) while they listened to a binaurally‐recorded soundscape derived from one of these locations. We found that the sound...
Brief exposure to a counterclockwise global externally applied magnetic field generated from an array of 64 solenoids designed to affect the cerebral fields associated with the left and right hemispheric correlates of consciousness evoked a powerful out of body experience (OOBE) in a single naive subject. The energy available from the applied field...
In three different experiments pairs of unrelated people sitting in two different rooms were exposed simultaneously to different rates of circumcerebral rotations of weak, complex magnetic fields in order to produce "dynamic similarity". Quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG) measurements were taken for one member of each pair in one room whil...
The human brain is the locus of all human experiences. The substantial microstructural and neuroelectrical differences between the two cerebral hemispheres predicts two major classes of mystical experiences which involve the sensed presence and the out-of-body experience. Their occurrence and their attributions to cosmic origins have been reported...
