Title:
Gazing at the Minds Eye
Summary:
IONS Senior Scientist Dean Radin summarizes two experiments to explore the nature of the mind’s eye. In one, an eyetracking system was used to test whether seers could “see” the future. In another, meditators and non-meditators were asked to use their mind’s eye to perceive a beam of photons in a distant, light-tight optical apparatus. Both experiments provided intriguing glimpses of the role of the human mind in weaving the fabric of reality.

Have you done any tests with subjects using psilocybin? It would be interesting to see their results
What he says at 6:05, ending with… if there is diminished/no human emotional response to a stimulus, "there is nothing in your future to respond to". i think this is an amazing insight, and should be elaborated on greatly! Do emotions have something greater to do with all of this? Emotions as wave collapsing functions, of our brains, transceivers of some "non matter" or even mind/matter "mobius strip" existence…or is it the brain is a reciever and something else is making "our" desicions…
The point is that before a calm picture appears, the subject continues to relax, but before an emotional picture appears, the subject preemptively exhibits excitement. That was what was addressed by the splitting of the red and blue lines.
well yeah if you are used to a new picture showing every 10 seconds then you will be expecting one to happen before it does.
If you are interested in psi i have some short films uploaded you may enjoy watching 🙂
Great video, thanks for posting.
