DAY 3: Ganzfeld Experiment

GROUP MEMBER: Tushar Satyanath.

We started the class with a brief discussion on the Ganzfeld Experiment D.I.Y. Hallucinations! AIM: To test the existence of telepathy (paranormal acquisition of information). What you'll need: 1. 1 Ping pong ball 2. Bright light(preferably red) 3. Source of static noise 4. Medical tape PROCEDURE:  The receiver cuts a ping pong ball in half, and tapes each half over his/her eyes.  The receiver is then made to 'stare' at a bright light while listening to white noise(static) for 30 minutes.  The sender concentrates on an image, word or emotion and tries to telepathically convey the same to the receiver.  The receiver may or may not receive signals relating to what is being 'sent', and he/she describes the hallucinations aloud.  The sender notes down the descriptions as observation. When we conducted the experiment, the first session had a 53% success rate, whereas, the second session had a 74% success rate. This is mainly due to change in our light source. In the first experiment we used yellow light whereas in our second experiment we used red light. CONCLUSION: 1. The receivers mostly saw a lot of random shapes and figures. 2. Almost about 50% of the images were seen. 3. The receivers also felt emotions and certain sensation of drifting and dizziness. 4. Light source plays an important part in this experiment
