Subject: telepathy

To help soften the blow.
Some interesting scientific experiments on telepathy:

In 1935, three physicists, Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan
Rosen criticized quantum mechanics claiming that if it were a complete
model of reality, then nonlocal interactions between objects had to
exist. [1] Since that was deemed inconsistent with the theory of
relativity,
quantum mechanics had to be either wrong or at least incomplete. This
critique is known as the Einstein-Podolosky-Rosen (EPR) paradox.

Bell [2] prepared the theoretical groundwork for experimental tests of
EPR nonlocality and Aspect et al. [3] experimentally verified that a
nonlocal correlation between objects indeed occurs once these objects
have interacted.

The possibility of the existence of a nonlocal transference of specific
stimuli, such as those that generate evoked potentials
(electrophysiological brain responses produced by a sensory stimulus),
was first studied by Grinberg-Zylberbaum et al (1978). They
observed that an evoked potential in a stimulated subject is
"transferred" to another subject once they have interacted to achieve a
level of
"direct communication." This study was conducted in two Faraday chambers
separated by a distance of approximately three meters. Later the
experiment was repeated, replicating the former experiment at a larger
distance (14.5 meters). In both experiments, the following protocol,
suggested by the earlier experiments cited above, was used:

  1.Two subjects meditated side by side inside one of the Faraday
chambers for twenty minutes with the objective of reaching direct
    communication.
  2.A mild signal was then given to the subjects at which time one of
them went to the second Faraday cage and took a reclining position
    with eyes closed while they both continued to maintain direct
communication. The subject that stayed behind was now stimulated
    (generally by 100 light flashes given at random intervals), but the
other subject was not stimulated, nor did he have knowledge that a
    stimulus was being received by the first subject.
  3.EEG recordings were made from the brains of both subjects
synchronized with the stimulus given to one of them. The recordings were

    averaged over the hundred samples and compared using on-line
computers. Low frequency filters were used to eliminate low frequency
    EEG correspondence such as alpha waves.

At both distances, when the stimulated subject showed distinct evoked
potentials, the non-stimulated subject showed "transferred potentials"
similar to those evoked in the stimulated subject. Control subjects
showed no such transferred potentials.
