Michael Persinger

Michael Persinger was a cognitive neuroscience researcher known for studying how the brain responds to electromagnetic fields. He conducted experiments suggesting that certain electromagnetic stimuli might influence perceptions, thoughts, or feelings, potentially affecting the experience of "ghosts" or spiritual phenomena. His work explored the connection between brain activity and subjective experiences, particularly in relation to spiritual or mystical states. While his ideas are innovative, they remain controversial and not widely accepted within the scientific community. Nonetheless, his research contributed to understanding brain-environment interactions and the neurological basis of perception and consciousness.
