METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING CEREBRAL/ORGANIC ACTIVITY
The present invention offers a method and apparatus with which to pick up electromagnetic cerebro-organic activity so providing a diagram that, by bioresonance, produces an analysis of energy to indicate cerebral efficiency of the various organs. The method is based, in particular, on the use of an electronic detector able to generate electric signals under the influence of remotely emitted cerebral magnetic fields, also providing a histogram comprising a number of bars each of which indicates the level of activity of the brain and of the various bodily organs. An analysis of the diagram obtained provides information of use in several fields of human activity, especially in those of sport, information that can then be treated in different ways according to whether it is used in independent processes for detecting levels of energy, where possible, for control over efficiency of the brain and of bodily parts especially when engaged in forms of sport. It should be made clear that this is not a method of diagnosis, since it can neither identify
bodily disorders nor determine causes or consequences of possible pathological conditions, its purpose being to make a check-up of energy. According to the invention this method enables information to be gained, through bioresonance with the brain, on the efficiency of the various organs, verifying their levels of energy so that, when related to and compared with the indications obtained in the previous check-up made on the same person, note may be taken of any anomalies present for a variety of reasons. The invention is based on the use of an electronic indicator of psychokinetic effects, described in an earlier patent by the same applicant, able to generate signals affected by the cerebral magnetic fields emitted at a distance of one or two metres and that comprises a number of generators of random signals needed for detecting and amplifying the output variations of such generators caused by the influence of cerebral magnetic fields and required for converting these variations into signals suitable for processing by a computer. The number of these generators of random signals is comprised between 16 and 256 so that the sum of random signals is statistically nil, thus enabling a clearer distinction to be made among the variations due to the influence of cerebral magnetic fields.
In the last twenty years scientific research conducted at American and European universities has shown how, through cerebral magnetic fields, the human mind can directly influence a variety of physical and biological systems.
This effect is called psychokinesis, abbreviated for convenience to the initials PK. Although the PK effect is usually weak and varies greatly from one person to another, interesting possibilities exist of applying this knowledge to various branches of human activity, to scientific research and to industry.
The techniques for detecting PK effects are usually based on generators of random numbers (electronic circuits that produce random sequences of 0/1 bit) or else random signals that can be converted into random numbers. Under the effect of cerebral magnetic fields, the output of these devices can be modified to obtain a significant variation of the average ratio between 0 and 1 bit compared with that obtained if there is no mental action affecting the device. These differences usually vary between 0.1% and 2%. Expressed in greater detail, generators of random numbers or signals are based on a diode or a transistor used as a source of electronic noise, the signal of which is amplified and then suitably digitalized to obtain a random sequence of 0/1 bit. Examples of this are, for instance, described in: Jahn R, Dunne B, Nelson R Engineering Anomalies Research, Journal of Scientific Exploration, 1 ,21-50 (1987); Schmidt H, A PK test with electronic equipment, Journal of Parapsychology, 34, 175-181 (1970); Schmidt H, Correlations between Mental Processes and External Random Events, Journal of Scientific Exploration 4, 233-241 (1990). Under cerebral magnetic action the degree of phase between the different oscillators can increase, producing a sum signal of greater amplitude, so altering the ratio between 0/1 bit and producing a statistically observable PK effect. Although it is not known exactly how the PK affects electronic devices, or other physical systems, one of the most generally accepted assumptions suggests that the origin of these effects lies in small alterations in the wave function of electrones, a theory also supported by some interpretations of Quantum Mechanics where emphasis is particularly laid on the role of the observer in producing observable physical phenomena (Observational Theories). The conducting electrones of semiconductors are typically subject to
random fluctuations of speed and direction of movement within the same semiconductors (silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, etc), these quantum fluctuations in semiconductors being responsible for the "electronic noise" in any electronic amplifying device. Since random fluctuations induced by PK effects on the conducting electrones are generally very weak, weaker than the average electronic noise from the semiconductors, a criterion has been found for increasing the signal/noise ratio and therefore considerably improving the efficiency of detectors of PK effects by means of the circuit that will be described later.
Recent studies and experiments, as well as observation of repetitivity of some characteristics of the diagrams obtained, after amplifying those generated by the effect of cerebral magnetic fields, have led the inventor to assume that a correlation exists, later confirmed by numerous tests, between the energy of various organs and the characteristics of the different areas of the diagram obtained, mapping them to show the positions of these organs, according to the invention. A detailed description of the invention will now be given, as an example but not limited thereto, making reference to the attached drawings wherein:
- figure 1 shows a diagram of an electronic circuit in a detector of psychokinetic effects according to the invention;
- figure 2 shows a diagram of cerebral activity and the map giving the corresponding positions of the various organs, obtained with the device according to the invention.
The circuit (figure 1) comprises means for adding up the signals received from N electronic amplifiers, where N lies between 16 and
256, operating in the frequency band between 1 Hz and 10 Mhz. Each electronic amplifier generates a signal represented by its own
electronic noise only, typically comprised for the operational amplifiers between 0.5 and 4 microvolts.
The sum signal obtained can therefore be further amplified so as to have an output random signal between 100 and 2000 millivolts, possibly filtered to restrict the passband of the signal within a range of frequencies narrower than the amplifiers' original range. For instance, in the case of specific applications, it may be useful to restrict the passband within a factor 100, for example between 1- 100 Hz, or 101-1000 Hz, or 100-10000 Hz, or 1000-100 kHz, or 10 kHz -1 MHz, or 100 kHz -10 MHz.
The advantage of adding up the N amplifier signals consists in the fact that, while the electronic noise of each amplifier is independent from that of another amplifier, the signal produced by a weak PK effect is presumably equal (or nearly so) in all the amplifiers at the moment in which it becomes manifest. In such conditions the sum of N random signals tends to be statistically nil, while the PK signal is added in phase with itself and is therefore not cancelled. More precisely speaking, if the electronic noise from a single amplifier is V1 μV and amplitude of the PK signal, at a given moment, is V2 μV, the signal/noise ratio is equal to s/n = V2Λ 1. If the same PK signal is simultaneously present in N amplifiers, the output signal/noise ratio of our circuit will be: s/n = (V2//V1)*SQR(N), wherein SQR(N) = the square root of the N number of amplifiers. The signal/noise ratio therefore improves in proportion to the square root of the number of amplifiers used, making possible a more effective detection of the weak PK effects. The amplified and filtered sum signal is full-wave rectified using a precision rectifier and then squared by means of a trigger circuit, whose threshold of intervention may be adjusted to obtain an output succession of square wave pulses with a variable ratio of 0/1 bit. It should be
stated that 0 bit means a signal of an amplitude equal to or less than 0.5 volt while 1 bit means a signal of an amplitude greater than 2 volt and up to 5 volt.
The trigger threshold can be adjusted to obtain a ratio of 0/1 bit between 0.1 and 10, preferably one between 0.5 and 2.0. The average frequency of triggered signals is that previously given as a passband within a factor 100 of frequencies. The amplifiers used are of the "operational" type based on a silicon or germanium or gallium arsenide technology, preferably with four operationals contained in a single integrated circuit, as for example, types such as LM324, TL084, TL064, and characterized by a low thermal drift to minimize variations in the emission rate of signals as temperatures vary. The decoder is composed of N free oscillators at whose output there is a signal, this being the algebraic sum of electric signals according to their reciprocal phase displacement; this provides a diagram of the kind shown in figure 2 whose envelope corresponds to a histogram in which length of the various strips is proportional to the energy of the different organs. These diagrams are not of "absolute" value, meaning by this that, for analytical purposes, a single diagram is not enough to provide the required information since their trends vary from one person to another. On the contrary, the analysis is of a comparative type, meaning by this that useful indications can be derived from a comparison between two or more diagrams relating to the same person, made at different times and under different conditions. The areas of the diagram, corresponding to the different organs, are determined experimentally by analysing in which areas, (at which frequencies) variations occur when the energy of a certain organ is stimulated.
Tests made repeatedly on many people have shown that, through cerebral magnetic influence, each organ modifies a part of the diagram corresponding to a certain range of frequencies, given in Figure 2. To confirm the exact positions of this grid corresponding to those of the various organs, checks were made on their functional changes and recovery by a dynamic electroencephalogram and/or using Dr. Peter Mandel's Kirlian method. During the tests carried out, the inventor was able to verify that, under stress, some bars of the histogram varied considerably, indicating increased functional activity of some parts of the body such as the heart, lungs, kidneys and spleen, while the other bars remained substantially as they were in the idle state. In other cases, surprisingly enough, it was found that bar length varied, indicating more or less positive functional activity of one or more organs, after taking natural remedies, even merely by contact. The sensor can detect when a person's brain is engaged in more or less intense magnetic stimulation of an organ:
1. if its action towards an organ is intense, magnetic stimulation towards the sensor, placed some distance away, is limited and produces gaps in the diagram;
2. if its action towards an organ is limited, the magnetic stimulus towards the sensor, placed some distance away, is greater and the histograms exceed the line of the setup, meaning by this the line that marks the average magnetic influence of the various frequencies present in the environment.
Substantially speaking, therefore, the invention envisages placing the device at a distance of 1 or 2 metres from a person's head, laying it on a non-metallic surface and, by means of well-known electronic equipment, detecting duly amplified output signals generated by the device under the influence of cerebral magnetic
fields and using these signals to obtain a diagram indicating the functional level of the various bodily organs. The person carrying out the experiment must stand at about one metre behind the patient so as not to interfere with the sensor's magnetic pick-up field.
This analysis may be repeated periodically after which a comparison among the various diagrams will show up any important variations there may be in the energy levels of one or more organs such as would indicate anomalies in their functional performance. The procedure includes observation of the existing electromagnetic fields in the environment by means of an initial set-up that provides a diagram, indicated by "S" in Figure 2, followed by observation of the signals generated by the cerebral magnetic fields, identification on the diagram of the areas corresponding to the activities of the various organs, generation of a histogram, subsequent observations made with the same equipment and comparison of the diagram with an earlier one to note any substantial differences there may be in the length of the various bars. Consideration must be given to at least five successive screenings, estimating possibility of repeated gaps in frequencies, such as: a) small gaps indicating limited problems of energy; b) large gaps indicating problems of energy; c) histograms that exceed the set-up line (effect on the magnetic frequencies emitted by the person analyzed) indicating the positive qualities of the function of a certain organ below, shown in the grid of the map; d) gaps that appear once in five screenings, showing a transient problem of energy; e) gaps that appear twice in five screenings, showing malfunc- tioning in progress;
f) gaps that appear three times in five screenings, showing persistent organic damage; g) gaps that appear four or five times in five screenings, indica-ting serious organic damage that must be carefully followed up. To complete the description, and for purposes of orientation, below are given the ranges of frequencies, shown on the map, at which variations occur in the diagram due to a deficiency of energy in the various organs:
