Michael Persinger’s Group at Laurentian University, Canada, have recently reported very important experimental results on photon emissions related to novel macroscopic quantum phenomena and brain functions. One of their findings has been published Brain Research Vol. 1388 (2011), Another is currently in press at Biophyiscal Chemistry. A third finding has been published in NeuroQuantology Vol 9 Issue 4 and a fourth finding is published in the current issue of JCER (Volume 2 Issue 10). Here we briefly describe their findings for the readers of JCER.

Why exactly would our brains need to be emitting photons for anyways? To light up our thoughts and memories? Why would they need light? Somethings not making sense to me...

Well regardless if it makes sense to you or not the findings are what they are. It didnt make sense to some people that the world was round but that didnt stop the world from being round if you get my drift.
Its like electricity can make magnetism and magnetism can make electricity.
Photons make images in your brain and your brain makes photons when you make images.
Thats just my feeble attempt to try to explain it to you by no means is it scientific or has anything to do with the study. just trying to help you wrap your mind around something you cant grasp. Hope it helped.

Ok.....so could I harness those photons some way? Free energy and all

I was kidding, well sort of. I will have to read the links, but really we need internal photons in order to dream? And if they are so little, they are not doing the illuminating. I know are bodies create photons, so I think that is just what we do.

It would take quite some imagination to create a face in front of you, that you have never seen before, but yet again seems so familiar that you can't let go of this person
There are a few Theories
Either that we've seen these people throughout our day, but wouldn't we remember that? I mean if I am able to fall in love with that person, I sure would notice her passing me on the street.
Or that we connect to other dimensions in our dreams etc..
I'm looking forward to your opinions
It is true that the Subconscious is like a recording computer and every sensory input is stored there...visual, olifactory, touch, hearing and taste...and it is easily accessed in REM state. But the the Right Hemesphere of our brains is the creative side and can easily develop combinations via sampling known faces.
As far as a possibility for communication via Dream State with other possible Divergent Universal States...that has some backing within the concept of QUANTUM PHYSICS as certain Quantum Particles seem to blink in and out of existance such as a Quark...there is a Minimum and Maximum number that can exist within a Proton or Neutron....but they can exist between these limits as they please. Since our Brains Matter has this exchange going on in continual fasion...another theory is that via probability...Divergent Universes where alternate versions of you and me will experience a choice or random happenstance...or a Chaos based occurence...the Protons and Neutrons inside that particular Brain will have Quarks near or at Maximum....where a Alternate Universal State where there is a low probability of occurence will have Quarks near or at minimum quantity. This concept allows for possible Prescience and possible communication in ALPHA wave state.
By the way...a CAT is ALWAYS in ALPHA WAVE STATE...thus adding to the mythology of CATS being Guardians of the Underworld. Split Infinity

Don't be so testy Or I will call you not the soup nazi but the photon nazi
I ONLY indicated that I don't think that photons are needed for dreaming. OK?

Well yet this blind man, born without eyes, paints pictures with light, depth and perspective. This is a really cool video.
There is so much we don't know...edit on 25-2-2012 by Hellas because: (no reason given)
