Public Parapsychology has added yet another great article from Bryan Williams, exploring scientific research which suggests that our brain knows things are going to happen slightly in advance of the actual occurrence. Titled “ A Brain Response to a Future Event?“, in the article Williams discusses the research of Dean Radin on the subject, as well as replications by Dick Bierman and others:
Whenever we suddenly encounter something that frightens or startles us, our body has a tendency to “jump” in response. Over the past decade, a considerable amount of evidence has been gathered to suggest that, on a very subtle and unconscious level, our body’s autonomic nervous system may also “jump” in response to frightening or startling stimuli. However, it does so even before our body encounters such stimuli. This evidence comes from various experiments designed to explore the possible physiological signatures of a precognition-related experience that has come to be known as presentiment or pre-stimulus response.
Williams also points out the interesting fact that EEG studies have shown higher levels of brain activity were present in the occipital region of the brain as this occurs. Interesting topic – the article is well referenced too, for those who would like to explore further.
