ELECTROMAGNETIC PHENOMENA WHICH RADIATE FROM THE HUMAN BRAIN DURING INTENSE PSYCHOSENSORIAL ACTIVITY FROM DREAMY, HALLUCINATORY AND TELEPSYCHIC STATES,

Abstract

The experimental investigations in psychobiophysics, which have been performed for thirty years with always increasing refinement of the research instruments, are to explore some manifestations of the human psychism by a surprise attack on the spot; they have led to the detection of electromagnetic phenomena which irradiate from the human brain in correlation to particular functional cerebro-psychic conditions, and, more precisely, to stages of intense psychosensorial activity (oneirism, hallucinations, telepsychism). Oneirism is the peculiar psychic condition that is favorable to dreams, normal hallucinatory phenomena during the sleep and dream-like stages of the beginning sleep and of the reverie. As hallucinations, are designated as the morbid, especially visual phenomena of psychopaths and those provoked by certain drugs or by hypnotic suggestion. Telepsychism is defined as the whole gamut of subjective metapsychics (cryptesthesia, spontaneous or pragmatic; lucidity: clairvoyance: telepathy; rhabdomancy; radiesthesia; graphonomy; cartomancy; chiromancy).
