Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
The present study deals with brain activities using fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy).
First, brain blood flow was measured while guessing a hidden figure (Zenar symbols) in a forced-choice test. Subjects were 14 healthy adult volunteers (8 males, 6 females): average age was 46.6 (SD = 15.2). 1 trial was 3 min. Subjects scored degree of formulation of visual images. Results of 69 trials, spontaneous blood flow change (SBFC) often occurred at the temporal lobe, and at that time the images were formulated clearly. In other words, awareness was more activated. We named it as instantaneous highly activated state of awareness. However, SBFC did not relate to successful clairvoyant task.
Second, brain blood flow of various experts was measured in a free-response test to guess for the invalid parts of the inside of human body or for a small thing hidden in a dark box. Subjects were 11 healthy volunteers (5 males, 6 females): average age was 39.7 (SD = 12.1). Two of them were famous star psychics of Russia and China. Brain activities of star psychics during clairvoyance were not similar to activities of other subjects. The characteristic activated area of star psychics was the prefrontal area although many subjects showed activation of the right temporal lobe. Star psychics seemed to think, not only formulate visual images. In addition, photons were measured around the target thing during the clairvoyant task. However there was no appearance of anomalous photon.

Impression and spontaneous blood flow change at the temporal lobe while guessing for a hidden figure
Publication year: 2005

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In a previous study using near-infrared spectroscopy (Yoichi et al, 2002), the authors found spontaneous blood flow change often occurred at both temporal lobes while guessing for hidden figures (clairvoyant condition). This phenomenon was considered to have a relationship to the degree of impression formulation of figures. In the present study, the authors looked at details of the phenomenon. There were 14 participant volunteers. One trial consisted of a 3-minute guessing period and a 3-minute rest period, and 1 run consisted of 3 trials and 69 trials were done in total. The target figure was selected from 5 figures by a pseudo random number function. Then it was displayed on a CRT covered by a gray paper box. After the 3-minute guessing period, subjects gave their answers and degrees of impression formulation (3 degree method). The spontaneous blood flow change at the temporal lobe was observed in 10 trials. The degree of impression formulation was high when the change occurred (p<0.001, one-tail). The change also often occurred when subjects made their responses after guessing although the change did not relate to the degree of impression formulation. Ten guessing results were correct, but this number was not significant. Moreover, 3 of 10 correct trials were obtained when the spontaneous blood flow change occurred although it was not significant (p = 0.06, one-tail). The relationship between the correct response and the spontaneous blood flow change should be researched in further studies.

Brain blood flow change with functional near infrared spectroscopy while guessing
Publication year: 2006
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
In a previous study using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (Yoichi et al, 2002), the authors found spontaneous blood flow change often occurred at both temporal lobes while guessing for hidden figures (clairvoyant condition). This phenomenon has a relationship to the degree of impression formulation of figures (Kokubo, et al., 2005). These studies were forced choice tests. In the present study, the authors researched the brain blood flow change in free-response guessing tests chiefly. Subjects were 11 healthy volunteers. Targets were geometric symbols, the inside of human body or a thing in a dark box. Brain blood flow was measured at frontal area and right temporal area while guessing the targets from 3 to 30 minutes. Results, star psychics showed the increase of blood flow at their prefrontal areas, not right temporal lobes. While the other subjects showed the increase of blood flow at their right temporal lobes, not frontal area. In case that the task was to guess the hidden visual targets, the activated areas of the brain of star psychics were different from ones of the other persons.

Brain activity while guessing: Research by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)
Publication year: 2006
Abstract/Results:
SUMMARY:
There are several useful methods to examine brain functions from outside of the body. One of them is fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy) which can be used to measure only the cerebral cortex near the scalp (depth: 2-3 cm). fNIRS is non-stressful the same as EEG measurements, so it is a suitable method for sensitive subjects. The present paper deals with 3 topics using fNIRS. First, brain blood flow was measured while guessing a hidden figure in a forced-choice test Spontaneous blood flow change often occurred at the temporal lobe, and awareness was slightly more activated at that time. Second, the cognitive process for human facial expressions was researched. It is said that Japanese are expressionless or vague compared with people of other cultures. Subjects tried to distinguish emotions of vague faces made by a Japanese actress. The task was relatively easy for Japanese while it was difficult for Chinese. Third, brain blood flow of various experts was measured while they were guessing for the invalid parts of the inside of human body or for a small thing hidden in a dark box Brain activities of star psychics during clairvoyance were not similar to activities of other subjects. The characteristic activated area of star psychics was the prefrontal area although the guessing task required formulating visual images and many subjects showed activation of the right temporal lobe.

Title:
Abnormal EEG lateralization in boys with autism
Publication year: 2007

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVE:
Functional brain abnormalities associated with autism in 3–8-year-old boys were studied with EEG recorded under controlled experimental condition of sustained visual attention and behavioral stillness.
MMETHODS:
EEG was recorded in two independent samples of boys with autism (BWA) from Moscow (N = 21) and Gothenburg (N = 23) and a corresponding number of age-matched typically developing boys (TDB). EEG spectral power (SP) and SP interhemispheric asymmetry within delta, theta and alpha bands were analyzed.
RESULTS:
BWA comprised a non-homogeneous group in relation to theta and alpha SP. When four outliers were excluded the only between-group difference in absolute SP was a higher amount of prefrontal delta in BWA. BWA of both samples demonstrated atypical leftward broadband EEG asymmetry with a maximum effect over the mid-temporal regions. Concurrently, the normal leftward asymmetry of mu rhythm was absent in BWA.
CONCLUSIONS:
The abnormal broadband EEG asymmetry in autism may point to a diminished capacity of right temporal cortex to generate EEG rhythms. The concurrent lack of normal leftward asymmetry of mu rhythm suggests that abnormalities in EEG lateralization in autism may be regionally/functionally specific.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The data provide evidence for abnormal functional brain lateralization in autism.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVE:
To study brain activities of clairvoyance by measuring brain blood flow using fNIRS. [Test 1] Brain blood flow was measured while a subject guessed a hidden figure (Zenar symbols) in a forced-choice test. 8 male and 6 female healthy volunteers (average age, 46.6 y) scored degree of formulation of visual images in 3 min trials. Results of 69 trials showed that spontaneous blood flow change (SBFC) often occurred at the temporal lobe, and at that time the images were formulated clearly. This was designated instantaneous highly activated state of awareness. However, SBFC did not relate to successful clairvoyant tasks. [Test 2] Brain blood flow was measured for 5 male and 6 female healthy volunteers (average age, 39.7 y) in a freeresponse test to guess unhealthy areas inside the human body or a small item hidden in a dark box. Two subjects were famous psychics from Russia and China. The characteristic activated area of these psychics was the prefrontal
area although other subjects showed activation of the right temporal lobe.
CONCLUSIONS:
Brain activities of the famous psychics during clairvoyance were not similar to activities of other subjects. These psychics seemed to think, and not only formulate visual images.

Various mental activities and brain blood flow measurements using fNIRS
Publication year: 2010
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive imaging method for measuring brain activities. It is considered as useful to test sensitive subjects or to test some kinds of exercises. In the present paper focusing on results of fNIRS, the authors reviewed their studies on taichi-quan, meditative out-of-body experience (OBE), clairvoyance and metal-bending. Brain blood flow increased at pre-frontal area in taichi-quan, while it decreased there in meditative OBE. In guessing (clairvoyance) tasks, a psychic healer showed the increase of brain blood flow at frontal pole, but other subjects were different. Common non-psychic persons seemed to formulate visual images during clairvoyance tasks and they had a tendency to increase brain blood flow at temporal lobe. Moreover, it was suggested that mechanisms of remote viewing work with Psi Tech's techniques were different from ones of clairvoyance of genius psychics. In metal-bending tasks with brute force of hands, brain blood flow increased extremely at frontal pole. It suggested that some kinds of light exercises could activate brain blood flow at important areas which were considered to relate to psi.

Title:
Interhemispheric propagation of seizures in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
Publication year: 2009
URL:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19835273
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate interhemispheric propagation of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy seizures in patients undergoing long-term video-EEG monitoring with combined scalp and foramen ovale electrodes.
AIM OF THE STUDY:
To reveal possible interhemispheric propagation patterns in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, to improve presurgical evaluation of temporal epileptic patients.
METHODS:
Sixty-five seizures from 20 patients were analyzed. We defined two contralateral seizure propagation patterns: Type I for those seizures that spread to the contralateral foramen ovale electrodes earlier than to the contralateral scalp electrodes, and type II for the opposite.
PARTICIPANTS:
Twenty drug resistant epileptic patients were investigated in frame of their presurgical evaluation.
RESULTS:
The majority of seizures (80%) were classified as type I. Inter-foramen ovale electrode propagation time was significantly shorter for type I compared to type II seizures. Ninety percent of patients had either type I or type II seizures only. Patients with type I seizures significantly more often had mesiotemporal structural alterations evident on magnetic resonance imaging scans, and became more often seizure-free after surgery compared to patients with type II seizures whose surgical outcome was less favorable or surgery could not be indicated because of independent bilateral ictal seizure-onset.
CONCLUSIONS:
The two types of contralateral propagation patterns we are describing seem to represent two subtypes of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with different morphological and prognostic features. The predominance of type I over type II seizures together with shorter propagation times for type I seizures indicate a role of a more direct and dominant interhemispheric pathway in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
