Love to know how he concludes this. It's a nice idea, but I know of NO research on thesubject. A more plausible explanation from a western perspective is that brainwave coherence indicates that larger parts of the brain are involved directly in the thinking process. That's the speculation Scientific American notes when they talk about EEG coherence being a sign of higher-order brain function. Of course, maybe its also the unified field theory that John Touts. BTW, why do you mention this guy Laslo instead of John Hagelin? Did he come up with the idea first, or are you simply pleased that someone more reputable than a world class theoretical physicist is touting the same unsupported speculation? > Snip > > Just spoke to Fred Travis (we're doing the animation project > piecemeal so I don't freak > > out).
