hmmm, sounds fascinating. i'm not sure i can explain it. maybe you are
right, maybe it is a road to the discovery of another sense but i don't know
enough to comment. seems unlikely to be alpha wave emission as they are not
that sensitive ... more later

same sort of things as alpha wave emission, yes. basically, the cause is
the complex pattern of electromagnetic interactions occuring within the
brain at any one time. trouble is, it's not particularly detailed, so
probably cannot explain the energy transfer things you do with actors. not
sure how to explain that.

it was useful, but didnt help me in the way i thought it would. ... ie,
your experiment remains a mystery.

Any recent book on modern psychology should mention it. it started with the
esp experiments 30 or so years ago and kind of developed from there. esp is
highly specialised and only a tiny proportion of people are receptive ... i
did an experiment with a friend a few years ago, i got 100% of the test
right. however, when i try it with other friends i get only 30%, and my
friend has had similar results. i think thats an indication that we are
receptive to each other only. moving away from esp, psychologists developed
the idea of empathy, and saw that the brain emmissions could provide a
suitable model for it. i havent reallygot any perfect sources of data, but
most modern psychology text books mention it, as does "Emotional
Intelligence" by Daniel Goldman. you have to read between the lines a
little with the last one but it is a very good read apart from the last
chapter which i found a little conceited.
hope that is of help, will continue to think about an explanation to your
activities with energy transfer.
Rich.
