it's called an EEG. Just because they aren't strong enough to reach far
past the skull doesn't mean they aren't there. BTW, if by radio
emissions you are suggesting that you have proof of "telepathic"
communication, then you should be able to test it. For instance,
is there a definite pattern that is definitely coming from one being and
being directionally sent? What is your hypothesis about the radio
emissions? What the people who have started this thread are complaining
about is not whether your "experiments" are relevant. What they are
asking for is a serious scientific discourse. Saying you have proof of
radio emissions is fine. Have you published it? Is any other work done
that supports your work? Do you have a hypothesis about these emissions,
or are you just speculating on why they exist (or for that matter,
whether they exist)? How can you test this hypothesis? These questions,
and the search for the answers, are what science is all about. What they
are asking for is simply for you to back up your statements instead of
just saying "it's true". Anecdotal evidence doesn't make for solid
evidence, it's just a starting point. Or, to sum it up, put your money
where your mouth is. Even that perennial pest, Betty Martini, seems to
have at least some case studies to back her (him?) up, and is willing to
refer to them (even if she is unwilling to hear evidence against her
theories).
