The topic of the debate is hypnosis and the participants in the dialogue are all recognized authorities on the subject. However, the backgrounds and per- spectives of the participants are also quite different, and so the discussion of the issues is commendably broad and wide-ranging. I’ve often wondered whether JSE readers noticed and were puzzled by the fact that hypnosis has received little (if any) attention in the pages of this Journal. It has certainly puzzled me. Granted, unlike some of the phenomena (or alleged phenomena) discussed in the JSE, the existence of hypnosis is not generally disputed. However, the process and nature of hypnosis, and the implications of hypnotic phenomena for our understanding of the mind, remain acknowledged mysteries. To be sure, a small number of researchers cling obdurately to the belief (associated perhaps most often with Nicholas Spanos) that hypnosis is nothing but social compliance or role-playing designed to please the hypnotist.1 But the transparent absurdity of that position becomes clear as soon as one considers some of the more dramatic hypnotic phenomena—for example, failing to register pain during major surgery (e.g., limb amputation, the removal of 100-lb scrotal tumors [yes, that’s right], and the removal of toenails by the roots), and also the prevention of well-known involuntary responses to other noxious stimuli, such as ammonia placed under the nose and needles inserted in the mucous membranes of the eyes. Clearly, the subjects in these cases aren’t simply complying with the wishes of the surgeon by (say) feigning a lack of pain. These are paradigm cases of genuine and profound—and poorly understood—altered states, and they’re quite different from

  • The Shameful Wrong That Must Be Righted
    This Year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine The Shameful Wrong That Must Be Righted This year the committee that awards The Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine did the one thing it has no right to do: it ignored the truth. Eminent scientists, leading medical textbooks and the historical facts are in disagreement with the decision of the committee. So is the U. S. Patent Office. Even Alfred Nobel’s will is in disagreement. The com- mittee is attempting to rewrite history. The Nobel Prize Committee to Physiology or Medicine chose to award the prize, not to the medical doctor/research scientist who made the breakthrough discovery on which all MRI technology is based, but to two scientists who later made technological improvements based on his discovery. WHAT EMINENT SCIENTISTS AND AUTHORS SAY “I was stunned to learn that the Nobel Committee has apparently become so political that it is willing to overlook documented evidence (1971) for the first discovery of the substantial T1 and T2 tissue differences discovered by Damadian, which have become the foundation of all NMR imaging.”— John Throck Watson, Ph. D., Professor of Biochemistry and Chemistry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan "We are perplexed, disappointed and angry about the incomprehensible exclusion of Professor Raymond Damadian, M.D., from this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. MRI's entire development rests on the shoulders of Damadian's discovery of NMR proton relaxation differences among normal and diseased tissues and his proposal of external scanning of NMR relaxation differences in the human body, published in Science in 1971” -— Eugene Feigelson, Senior Vice President for Biomedical Education and Research, Dean of the College of Medicine, Distinguished Service Professor, SUNY Downstate Medical Center "Egg on the Nobel for Medicine's face."— V.

In fact, Morton A. Meyers Meyers’s tales suggest that the reward system itself may be largely at Palgrave Macmillan, 2012 fault.

  • A Rebuttal of the EMBLA 2002 Report on the Optical Survey in Hessdalen
    Italian Committee for Project Hessdalen Comitato Italiano per il Progetto Hessdalen A rebuttal of the EMBLA 2002 report on the optical survey in Hessdalen MATTEO LEONE Italian Committee for Project Hessdalen (CIPH) scientific advisor e-mail: [email protected] Abstract – On August 2002, a scientific expedition to the Hessdalen valley (Norway) – code-named EMBLA – aimed at investigating on an unidentified atmospheric light-phenomenon, was carried out by the physics section of an Italian team of scientists. According to the EMBLA 2002 physics report, the evidence collected point at an unknown atmospheric light phenomenon “able to produce a luminous power of up to 100 kW”. The photometrical and spectroscopical data collected by the team of scientists on August 2002 are analysed and reasons for rejecting the suggested conclusions are presented in this paper. Furthermore, it is proposed an explanation that satisfactorily explains the evidence in terms of a known phenomenon. In spite of this negative findings, the anecdotal evidence collected by this author at Hessdalen suggests that clearly-defined, specific studies into the field of anomalous aerial phenomena should be supported. 1. Introduction Hessdalen is a valley stretching over 12 km of a thinly populated area (Bygdekatalog, 2000) of central Norway, south-east of Trondheim and near the Swedish border (Dalsbygda, 1992; Haltdalen, 1995). As from November 1981 a series of unidentified lights had been reported by the residents of the valley. According to the sighting reports the lights were seen hovering or moving around at various speed. These lights could be anywhere. Sometimes they were reported to be just above the roof of the houses, or just above the ground.

    The Journal of article Does Clinical Hypnosis Have Anything to Do with Experimental Hypnosis? Michael Heap, PhD* Hypnosis originated as a healing practice and its historical roots can be traced back to the ideas and methods of the physician Franz Anton Mesmer in 18th century Europe. As we now understand it hypnosis is a normal psychological phenomenon that can be in- vestigated in the laboratory and understood in terms of mainstream psychology and the neurosciences. Normally one would expect there to be continuity between experimental research and theory on the one hand and the practical application of hypnosis on the other. In this paper it is suggested that there is reason to question how much the clini- cal application of hypnosis is informed by the non-clinical scientific evidence and even whether clinicians can be said to be using hypnosis as it is now defined and understood in the academic literature. These matters are also briefly addressed by reference to certain other contexts in which hypnosis is applied. The historical antecedents of Introduction modern hypnosis Implicit or explicit in most descriptions of hyp- A good starting point for this enquiry is to remind nosis are two key components, namely the ‘hyp- ourselves of the historical development of modern notic trance’ (or ‘altered state of consciousness’) hypnosis, the true origins of which can be traced and the use of suggestion.

  • Magnétisme Animal
    Magnétisme animal Le magnétisme animal, aussi appelé mesmérisme, est un ensemble d'anciennes théories et pratiques thérapeutiques qui se e e développèrent de la fin du XVIII siècle à la fin du XIX siècle en Occident et qui eurent un impact important sur le 1 développement de la médecine, de la psychologie et de la parapsychologie . Le médecin allemand Franz-Anton Mesmer, qui postulait l'existence d'un fluide magnétique universel dont on pouvait faire une utilisation thérapeutique, introduisit l'expression magnétisme animal en 1773. Il avait l'ambition de donner une interprétation rationnelle à des phénomènes que l'on peut décrire sous le terme général de « transe » et qui, tels quels, 2 semblent désigner l'irrationnel ou la magie . Alors qu'il se voulait fondateur de science, ramenant ce qui relevait jusque-là du 3 surnaturel à l'étude des propriétés d'un fluide naturel, il est devenu l'archétype du charlatan et le magnétisme animal 4 l'archétype d'une pseudo-science . Véritable phénomène de société, le magnétisme animal a fait l'objet de nombreuses polémiques, notamment en France, avec la Faculté de Médecine qui a condamné cette pratique pour les médecins dès 1784. Cela n'a pas empêché le magnétisme animal de continuer à se répandre sous diverses formes, certains magnétiseurs continuant à attribuer ses effets au fluide de Mesmer, d'autres les attribuant à la volonté ou à l'imagination du magnétiseur et du magnétisé. Ces derniers sont à l'origine de 5 théories sur l'hypnose développées par des médecins comme James Braid ou Ambroise-Auguste Liébeault.

  • Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)
    Journal of Scientifi c Exploration, Vol. 27, No. 3, pp. 415–453, 2013 0892-3310/13 RESEARCH ARTICLE Unidentifi ed Aerial Phenomena (UAP) A New Hypothesis toward Their Explanation DANIEL M. GROSS 15 rue Bachelin, CH-2000 Neuchâtel, Switzerland [email protected] Submitted 12/4/2012, Accepted 4/11/2013, Pre-Published 8/15/2013 Abstract—For six decades now luminous and other unidentifi ed aerial phe- nomena (UAP) have been sighted worldwide in large numbers. Extensive scientifi c unidentifi ed aerial phenomena observations have been made over the last 26 years in Hessdalen, Norway. The optical properties of lumi- nous UAPs have been described in detail, but all eff orts to explain them by terrestrial causes have failed. Earlier scientifi c attempts to explain UAPs by extraterrestrial visitation (ETV) have failed as well. A new ETV hypothesis is proposed which aims at causally explaining all luminous UAP sightings in Hessdalen and most elsewhere. To this end a galactic neighborhood sce- nario and model is defi ned. It explains why a stealth ETV probe equipped with artifi cial intelligence (AI) has been built by an exo-civilization and sent in a historical past into our solar system. It states that this extraterrestrial visitation probe (ETVP), now orbiting the earth, occasionally sends a stealth electromagnetic beam (SEMB) down into the atmosphere. It explains in de- tail how such an SEMB produces luminous UAPs by means of a nonlinear photonic mechanism which, as such, has been known and investigated since 1995 as a branch of current femtosecond physics. This photon mecha- nism is further developed into a UAP-A and a UAP-B model.
