Sooo, I'm starting to be somewhat interested in a paranormal experiment I stumbled on.
Yes, I know, go to /x/ etc.
Point is, I would like someone qualified to tell me if this is legit:

A video that roughly explains what's going on:

Not supernatural, just heretofore untested material, yo.

Science, it's like magic, except not magic.

paranormal=/=supernatural.

Thanks for your contribution, I've already used up too much of your time.

>paranormal=/=supernatural.

Never held the figures to be separate, and there's nothing paranormal about this either.

Electromagnetic fields affect a largely electromagnetic organ in a weird way.

Further testing required! Science, ho!

Actually, it is paranormal.
Persinger defined it "rudimentary telepathy", so no argument there.

What I want to know is if this is legit or if it is the classic "playing with statistic" bullshit.

What a particular guy wants to think of it as, is not necessarily what it is.

Further testing required!

the "particular guy is the author of the study.
It's not absurd to believe he as more authority on the matter than you.
telepathy: the induction of mental states from one mind to another. It definitely fits.

Also, nobody doubts more study is required, I'm merely asking if it is a scam or otherwhise.

If /sci/ ACTUALLY was qualified in the science field do you think they would be posting on a board full of degenerates like us?

Paranormal: something outside the current scientific understanding.

Supernatural:something that violates or goes beyond natural forces.

The difference is subtle but it is there.
the moar you know.
