Abstract
Electro-physiolosical natures of human body concemed with paranormal phenomena were investigated in a electrical shield room kept in ordinary atmosphere. Two methods were used, one is the endosomatic method with eledric potential oscmation by electroencephalogram (EEG) equipment, another is the ensomatic method with eledric current on skin surface by giving 0.5 volt DC. Measurements were carried out for three parts: brain, acupoints and non-acupoint of skin.
Electric current intensity at acupoints before polarization (BP)measured between skin and electrode
just after (3~5μs) giving 0.5 volt current shows the function of Meridian. Electric current intensity after
polarization(AP)shows the function of autonomic nervous system (improvement of Motoyama's method).
Frequency characteristics measured by EEG equipment were analyzed by computer, and then displayed on the power spectrum as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)analysis.
(A) Meditation: Frequency charaderistics like alpha waves on acupoints during meditation was mea-
sured in our study, and it was functional and personal, that is, it increases one time, decreases at another
time.0n the contrary, AP showed little change. Power of brain waves (EEG)during meditation has a tendency of decreasing.
(B) Smell stimulation by Lemon and Peppermint: Brain waves (EEG)have shown slight change for all smell stimulation. Current difference of left acupoint and right one, and standard deviation of Scattered values on meridian system (BP)considerably increased, on the other hand, of autonomic nervous systems (AP) didn't change, or decreased slightly.
(C) As far as our experiment is concemed, it seems the smell stimulation causes Pamanormal phenomena
more easily than the meditation with no special concentration.
