The first two groups showed no change in psi abilities. However, the third group—those who received rTMS to the left medial middle frontal region—exhibited a notable increase in psi effects.
“This study confirmed our hypothesis,” Freedman stated in a report from the BIAL Foundation. “Individuals with neurological or reversible rTMS-induced frontal lesions may represent a useful group for detection and replication of this phenomenon.”
To investigate further, researchers recruited 108 healthy participants and divided them into three groups. Each group underwent different rTMS treatments:
- Right medial middle frontal region stimulation
- Placebo (no actual change in brain activity)
- Left medial middle frontal region stimulation
A Critical Brain Filter
The left medial middle frontal region is known for its role in executive functioning, including:
- Decision-making
- Planning
- Goal-oriented behavior
- Impulse control
This area helps focus attention and suppress irrelevant stimuli. Now, researchers suggest it may also be responsible for filtering out psychic abilities, preventing them from emerging in everyday life.
Implications for Future Research
If further studies confirm these findings, they could revolutionize our understanding of human consciousness. This research may open new doors in neuroscience, psychology, and even quantum physics, bridging the gap between science and phenomena long dismissed as pseudoscience.
