Extrasensory electroencephalographic induction between identical twins
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|October 15, 1965
Summary
Alpha rhythms, a type of brainwave, were induced in one identical twin by stimulating the other twin. This suggests a potential non-local influence on brain activity between twins.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Twin Studies
- Brainwave Activity
Background:
- Alpha rhythms are a key indicator of brain activity.
- Identical twins share a high degree of genetic similarity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate potential inter-twin influence on brainwave generation.
- To explore non-local effects in biological systems.
Main Methods:
- Conventional methods were used to elicit alpha rhythms in one twin.
- The resulting brainwave activity was monitored in both twins.
Main Results:
- Alpha rhythms were successfully induced in one twin through stimulation of the co-twin.
- This indicates a potential synchronized or influenced brain activity between the twins.
Conclusions:
- Brain activity, specifically alpha rhythms, may be influenced between identical twins in a non-local manner.
- Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind this observed phenomenon.
