Is The Caudate-Putamen An Antenna For Anomalous Information? - Terra Obscura

Could the hyperconnectivity of little lumps of gristle within your noggin attune folks to high strangeness? Welp, the U.S. government looked into the hypothesis and the provocative data points piqued James Iandoli's curiosity. Maybe Annie Jacobsen spied him from across a crowded room and transmitted her analysis when their gaze met. It's more than a romantic metaphor as Christian Jarrett outlines Why Meeting Another's Gaze Is So Powerful. While there's no mention of Sheldrake, Dr. Jarrett sticks to the evidence observed during meaningful and casual eye contact. While we're on it, kick things up a notch by smiling while you hold their gaze or touch their arm. Marcel Proust may have popularized the notion of scent being crucial for memories, Steven Pan has his own À la recherche du temps perdu based upon the simplest of all sensory inputs: touch. Heavy objects feel more important (almost a play on the word "gravity"), drinks taste better when imbibed from a heavy glass, but this most basic of sensory inputs is key to evoking more powerful memories than the scent of a humble madeleine. Or all these phenomena may illustrate the profound interconnectedness one may only experience through the phenomenon of entanglement. Peter Hankins dips his toe into the quantum by summarizing Atai Barkai's proposition of Entangled Consciousness where free will arises from the indeterministic nature of quantum physics. In short, consciousness may transcend classical physics while drawing upon another source. We'll let you fill in the blanks, true believers. (CS)
