The Harribance Effect as Pervasive Out‐of‐Body Experiences NeuroQuantal Evidence with More Precise Measurements
Michael A. Persinger
Abstract
A historical summary is presented of the published and unpublished measurements
of the physical changes associated with Sean Harribance while he accurately
discerned recondite information about others. Reports of his subjective
experiences as well as the quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG), sLORETA,
SPECT, and neuropsychological data support the occurrence of measurable and
specific out‐of‐body like states that are strongly correlated with independent
ratings of his accuracy of people he does not know but with whom he is spatially
proximal. Coherence between theta (Schumann resonance) and gamma activity
within the right temporoparietal and frontal regions and his left temporal region is
congruent with information acquired by his right hemisphere and interpreted by
the left. The quantitative values of the emissions of photons and alterations in the
intensity of the geomagnetic field (both equivalent to energies of about 10‐11 J/s or
10 pW/m2
) around his head during this state were congruent with the estimated
numbers of neurons responsible for the QEEG coherence and are strongly
indicative of neuroquantological processes that allow an interface between
extracerebral energies, neuronal membrane function, and his accurate experiences.
