How Hans Berger’s Quest For Telepathy Spurred Modern Brain Science - Science News

Hans Berger fell off his horse when he was 19; that same day his sister who was far away got her father to send a telegram asking if Hans was okay. That case of “spontaneous telepathy" led Berger to study psychiatry and eventually to invent the electroencephalogram, or EEG, a device that can read the brain’s electrical activity. Following in those footsteps is Dr. Ed Kelly, at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies. In Consciousness Unbound | An In-Depth Interview with Ed Kelly, he argues that consciousness is more than a product of brain activity and actually survives physical death. Elsewhere Lisette Coly, president of the Parapsychology Foundation, announces the 2021 Rogo Awards which go to Gregory Shushan for a cross cultural anthology that will provide "for the first time an easily accessible compendium of primary source accounts of NDEs from around the world and throughout history," and to Callum E. Cooper, who is producing a book that "will be the definitive biography of the late D. Scott Rogo." Available now is a New Book: Selections from the Correspondence of J. B. Rhine, "the biologist who famously established a laboratory for experimental studies of telepathy and other occult phenomena at Duke University in the 1930s." Andreas Sommer warns us that "The price of the book is pretty eyewatering..." (PH)
