Analysis of Electrodermal Activity (EDA) in Remote Perception Task Using Electromagnetic Shield Cage

Abstract

ln the present experiment, two qigong practitioners were pnt in separate rooms with communicational deprivation, while the authors measured physiological changes of one ofthe two, acting a Receive4 when the other, acting as a Sender, attempted to give "remote influence" to the Receiver at a distance. These subjects had shown statistical sigriificant coincidences of the time of their apparent motions in previous similar experiments by the authors. The Receiver was seated in an electromagnetic shielding cage and the Sender perfbrrned only one "sending" motion per 80-second trial on double blinded and randomized conditions. The Receiver's skin conductances were sampled at a rate of 20eHz using an exosomatic method (DC O.5V constant). ln the results of 35 trials, fluctuation of the Receiver's skin conductance during was smaller than before and after.
