Altered fronto-parietal alpha synchronization and coherence in paranormal believers
Recent research has revealed a correlation between paranormal beliefs and distinct neural activity patterns. However, the neural mechanisms underlying these beliefs remain unclear. To address this issue, we recorded EEG resting state data from both paranormal believers and skeptics. Our analysis focused on comparing brain connectivity and alpha band activity, specifically within the fronto-parietal network. The results demonstrated increased alpha band and enhanced fronto-parietal alpha synchronization and coherence in believers compared to skeptics. While these findings suggest a potential link between heightened alpha activity and cognitive or perceptual tendencies associated with paranormal beliefs, further research is needed to clarify the precise role of alpha synchronization in decision-making and perceptual processes.
