Response Patterns of a Bio-sensor in Non-contact Healing : Analysis by Gas and Fluorescence Measurement Methods(Research Papers,The 35th Symposium on Life Information Science)

Abstract

The authors have studied quantitative measurements of non-contact healing power using pieces of cucumbers (Cucumis sativus 'white spine type') as a bio-sensor since 2006. In the present study, the authors discussed response patterns of the bio-sensor when using their gas and fluorescence measurement methods. Participants were 8 volunteer healers (1 male, 7 females; average age, 42.0y) and they did 2 trials of 30-min non-contact healing. The participants were given an instruction that they should change their healing ways in the 2nd trail. While the average gas J value (J_G) was 0.061 and the average of the fluorescence J value (J_F) was 0.051 in the 1st trial, J_G became -0.096 and J_F became -0.194 in the 2nd trial (p = 0.00037, p = 0.002). Through cluster analysis of response patterns of the bio-sensor with previous data, a set of discriminant functions was given which showed 83% of the patterns were correctly assigned.
