COURSE DESCRIPTION
There are many profound mysteries of the brain, but one of the deeper mysteries involves those parts that integrate or hold the components together into an effective working relationship. In man, these components probably have a lot to do with consciousness.- Stuart Dimond (1977)
Early studies on cerebral dominance and psi noted the similarity many gifted subjects reported a strong visual element to their psi experiences, indicating a possible involvement of the right cerebral hemisphere. Puthoff and Targ (1976) reported that actively encouraging subjects to visualize an ESP target or even to draw their impressions tended to give better results than relying on verbal responses. Drawing appears to be a function of the right hemisphere and by dream studies that have tested for ESP reported strong psi functioning.
The reasoning behind this was that the nature of the right hemisphere fit what the researchers called the “psi-conducive syndrome”: a right-hemisphere state that could facilitate psi functioning. Similarly, a left hemisphere state might inhibit psi. The “psi-conducive syndrome” theory appeared to share properties in line with Kinsbourne’s (1974) attention-sharing model of hemispheric function. Students will explore these ideas as they relate to Remote Viewing.
GOALS
These research findings will be explored and how they fit into the modern development of Remote Viewing. As well as text material, students will be given examples and exercises to better understand this module.
INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Angela Thompson Smith studied neuroscience topics, including laterality, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels: primarily with Dr. Stewart Dimond at Cardiff University.
