Abstract
A series of double blind polygraphic measurements were performed in electric shield by a project team of from the Japanese Society for Mind-Body Science on Qi transmitter-receiver pairs to verifay the external Qi transmission phenomena. This article reports the results from the peripheral blood flood flow rate and meridian function mesurements. The skin electric potential changes at CV 5 acupoints measured by a vibrating capacitance electrometarare also reported. The results on the mean blood flow rate, and Fourie spectrum of the blood flow rate clearly show synchronous changes between the transmitter-receiver pairs under conditions of Qi transmission. The meridian fun ctions also show distinguishable synchronous changes inspite of the electric shield installed between the transmitter and the receiver. On the basis of the present double blind experiments, it is concluded that external Qi-gong performance is quite different from hypnosis in which suggestion and leading play dominant roles. It is also concluded that electric fields play no role in external Qi transmission.
