Abstract
Aim of this study is to provide a demonstration of the non-local property of the human mind to connect at distance, that is, without the classical means of communication. In the first experiment, 40 participants were requested to identify in two separate sessions, 10 real and 10 false Chinese ideograms presented randomly, trying to connect mentally with the research assistant sending correct suggestions at distance that is without any possibility to communicate with them by conventional means. As control condition, in one of these two sessions the helper did not send any suggestion although the receiver believed the contrary. In the session without suggestion, the hits’ mean score was 10.55; conversely, in the condition where a research assistant tried to suggest the correct identification at distance, the hits’ mean score was 11.33. Both a frequentist and a Bayesian statistical analysis approach, allows to reject the Null Hypothesis supporting the alternative one, that is, the possibility of mental connection at distance exploiting the non-local properties of the human mind. A second experiment aimed at increasing the efficiency of this mental connection taking into account task complexity and the level of Absorption of participants as a personality trait deemed favorable to non-local communication. However the results were similar to the first experiment. Although mental connection at distance seems feasible, variables which positively moderate this kind of communication are still to be identified.
Highlights
Is it possible to help people at distance to make the correct choice in a situation where there is no information available to make the correct choice and there are no means of receiving suggestions from someone else using conventional communication channels?The answer is clearly in the negative if we are referring to a local model of the human mind, stating that the human mind can manifest its contents using only the means available to the human body, i.e. voice and movement
What we might expect if this model is not correct and the human mind possesses both local and non-local properties, that is human mind may operate without space and time boundaries? The first thing that comes to mind is the possibility of sending information at distance without resorting to the classical means of communication, that is mentally
This philosophical model, posits that in its evolution from some primal undifferentiated state the universe differentiated into distinguishable physical entities, at least some of which have the potential for conscious experience, such as human beings
Summary
Is it possible to help people at distance to make the correct choice in a situation where there is no information available to make the correct choice and there are no means of receiving suggestions from someone else using conventional communication channels (i.e. phone call, email, etc.)?. To summarize the empirical evidence supporting the hypothesis that the human mind possesses non-local properties, we will present data obtained from meta-analysis for a better appreciation of the cumulative evidence available today. This evidence will be categorized as that investigating psychophysiological responses to non-local interaction between two participants, a sender and a receiver and that investigating the communication of information from a sender to be reported consciously by the receiver. Dependent variable: number of correct identification; independent variable: condition of suggestion at distance
