Abstract
The indication that the phenomenon "tohate" performed by a qigong master is caused not only by his suggestion was reported in our first paper at the ISLIS Symposium, March 1996. The issue was re-examined in fllowing three experiments. Experiments 1 and 2 were done under randomized and blind conditons. Experiment 1:When a qigong master performed a remote tohate action, the master's(sender)qi-emitting motion time and his pupil's(receiver)response motion time(start of recoil)were recorded. The sender and receiver were separated in two rooms of a sensory-shielded building with the receiver on the 1st floor and the sender on the 4th.Coincidence frequency within ±5.5 sec was 16(expected value is 7.88)of the 49 trials. It is statisti-cally significant and the risk is 0.0008. This suggests that there is an unknown communication mechanism between the sender and receiver. Experiment 2:Electroencephalograms(EEGs)of the receiver were recorde. The qi-emission was performed at a random time selected during a one minute interval by the experimenter. In 57 trials, the receiver showed a statistically significant difference between the emitting and non-emitting times in the α wave mean amplitudes of the EEGs for the right frontal part of the brain. This suggests that extrasensory information transfer took place and that it is related to the right frontal part of the brain. Experiment 3:The sender and receiver were located in one room or shielded from sensory contact in two rooms, and their EEGs were simultaneously measued while tohate was performed. Analysis of the changes in multiple parameters of the EEGs from before to after tohate showed that both more relaxed during tohate than at rest, and that suggests both had images during tohate, in addition to other information. The topographic patterns of the β waves of the EEGs for both sender and receiver resembled each other during tohate.
