EEG Activity and Communication with the Deceased study published

NEW RESEARCH STUDY PUBLISHED
Electrocortical Activity and Communication with the Deceased 

During advanced meditative practices, unusual perceptions can arise including the sense of receiving information about unknown people who are deceased. As with meditation, this mental state of communication with the deceased involves calming mental chatter and becoming receptive to subtle feelings and sensations. Psychometric and brain electrophysiology data were collected from six individuals who had previously reported accurate information about deceased individuals under double-blind conditions.

Consciousness: The Missing Piece in the Sustainability Puzzle?

Consciousness: The Missing Piece in the Sustainability Puzzle?

IONS President and CEO Cassandra Vieten traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark to give an invited presentation at the European Environment Agency (EEA) on how changes in global sustainability behaviors require not just trustworthy information, but also practices that encourage fundamental shifts in consciousness. The EEA is an agency of the European Union.
With 33 member countries, they are a major driver for developing, adopting, implementing, and evaluating environmental policy for government policy makers and the general public. IONS Founder and Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell joined the presentation by Skype to share his experience of viewing the earth from space, and the urgency with which we must apply ourselves to the kind of consciousness shift that ensures the well-being of the planet.
