I know I already said this once.

I HEART Quantum Mechanics!

1. INTRODUCTION
During the last decade, several experiments have
indicated the existence of correlations between brain
electrical activities of emphatically bonded but
spatially separated and sensory isolated human
subjects. In the first of these experiments, performed
by Grinberg-Zylberbaum et al., it was shown that
neural events stimulated in one human brain (visual
evoked potentials — VEPs) can induce neural events
of similar morphology (“transferred potentials”) in
the brain of a nonstimulated subject if the subjects
have interacted nonverbally in some fashion (for
example, by meditating together for a certain time)
prior to their separation inside their own Faraday
chambers (FCs).(1) Technically, protocolary, and methodologically
improved, the Grinberg-Zylberbaum et al.
experiments (GZEs) have been subsequently successfully
replicated by two research groups: the first in cooperation
between the Bastyr University and the University
of Washington,(2,3,4) under a two-year research grant
awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
and most recently by a group at the Freiburg University.(
5,6) The two groups confirmed the existence of
the phenomenon, although the latter group raised
certain questions about the original GZEs. Namely,
the Freiburg group found that the results were the
same or even better for pairs of subjects who had not
interacted in any fashion as were the results for those
pairs who had interacted prior to the experimental
sessions, and that the transferred potentials were not
necessarily of a morphology similar to the original
VEPs in the stimulated subjects, so a more sophisticated
data-analytic technique was necessary to detect
an effect opposing the null hypothesis. However, they
nevertheless concluded that “we are facing a phenomenon
which is neither easy to dismiss as a
methodological failure or a technical artifact nor
understood as to its nature” (Ref. 6, pp. 63–64). Due
to a strong analogy to the existence of quantummechanical
nonlocal correlations between onceinteracting
but subsequently also spatially separated
elementary particles, and due to the fact that subjects’
separation inside FCs rules out any electromagnetic or
neural energy transfer mechanism, the phenomenon
has been referred to as the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen
(EPR) nonlocal correlations between human brains,(1)
or simply the “biological nonlocality.”(7,8)
