NEWS: Analysis & Commentary Clairvoyance Trials JAPAN BIOEMISSION LABORATORY By Dick Allgrie One of the very interesting presentations at the New Science Symposium in Seoul, Korea was given by Dr. Mikio Yamamoto of the International Society of Life Information Science. He detailed the fascinating research being conducted at the Japan Bioemission Laboratory. Yamamoto presented some data from Clairvoyance Trials conducted in Japan, which resemble work done in 1939 by Rene Warcollier in France. Photographs were placed in envelopes and test subjects concentrated on them and drew sketches of what they perceived. Some of the results were quite impressive. Japanese researchers at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences Bio-Emission Laboratory conducted a five-year study of consciousness, qigong, anomalous perception, and extrasensory perception. Using sophisticated equipment they analyzed various body functions, from brain waves to pulse and respiration. Electrodes and sensors measured skin temperature, electro dermal activity, EEG, ECG, breathing, magnetic field, and photoplethysmorgram. In one experiment researchers tried to determine if action taken by a qigong master known as “Toh-ate” caused a reaction that was more than mere suggestion. The qigong master was emitting from the fourth floor of a building. The shielded “receiver” was on the first floor. When the master performed a remote tohate action the master’s qi-emitting motion time and his pupil’s (receiver) response time (start of recoil) were recorded. The coincidence frequency within plus or minus 5.5 seconds was 16. The expected value was 7.88 in 49 trials. The results were said to be statistically significant, suggesting an unknown communication mechanism between the sender and receiver. EEG’s of the receiver were recorded. The qi-emission was performed at a random time selected during a one-minute interval by the experimenter. In 57 trials the receiver showed a statistically significant difference between the emitting and non-emitting times in the amplitudes of the EEG’s for the right frontal part of the brain. This suggests that extrasensory information transfer took place and that it is related to the right frontal part of the brain. Another experiment involved a qigong master and an ordinary person placed in a sensory-shielded state within a metal box and anomalous perception by qigong was attempted while both were connected to electroencephalographs. The sender transmitted qi during randomly selected half-minute periods. Over 20 trials, the receiver was not able to perceive the true sending time with any statistical significance. However a statistically significant difference was observed in the alpha wave amplitude in the receiver’s electroencephalogram. This occurred between the sending and non-sending time zones at the corresponding region to her somatic sensory and motor area in the period 13 to 17 seconds from the start of the task. This result suggests the existence of anomalous perception in the subconscious. They also duplicated research conducted by Dean Radin where test subjects were shown either calm peaceful photographs or stressful, violent photographs. The subjects reacted to the photos before actually seeing them. According to Dr. Yamamoto there is great interest in Japan in the field of human potential science. Dr. Yamamoto feels that the 20th century was a materialistic time and the 21st century will be more about consciousness and spirituality. He and his fellow researchers are leading the change as Japan explores human potential.    PRINT THIS ARTICLE Privacy Statement Copyright © 2002, H.R.V.G. All rights reserved.
