- Abstract:
- The International Society of Life Information Science (ISLIS) has sought scientific proofs of existence of wonderful phenomena and resolution of their principles, since the foundation of ISLIS in 1995. 24 symposia have been held and 24 issues of the Journal of International Society of Life Information Science (Journal of ISLIS), totaling more than 5,000 pages, have been published periodically, in
these 12 years. The existence of many wonderful phenomena has been proved
scientifically in these years; however, the principles have not been resolved.
Therefore, about 150 participants, including a few Japanese Diet Members
gathered at Hase camp in Nagano and held discussions on these and other
matters. A variety of phenomena such as spiritual healing, qi gong, ayurveda,
near-death experience, and supernatural phenomena exist which cannot be
explained by modern science. The world view of each field was explained
to the participants, and then discussions were held about these topics.
Moreover, direct interactions and experiences in each field were offered
to participants, such as various demonstrations of qi gong, therapy, etc.
As an option, participants could also deepen their understanding about
hypnotic therapy.

Discussion on Standard Evaluation Method of Non-contact Healing Using Biophotons
-Normality of J value
and Comparing Non-contact Healing with Thermal/Lighting Conditions

- Abstract:
- When a subject does non-contact healing, such as laying-on-of-hands, for
sample pieces of cucumber "Shiro-ibo kyuuri", the intensity of
biophotons from samples increases. To reconfirm the reliability of our
measuring method for this phenomenon, we discussed the method from 3 view
points: 1) validity of J value as an index of effects (J value is defined
as the logarithm of the ratio of intensities of biophotons between experimental
and control samples; 2) system biases; and 3) effects of heat or shadow
(i.e. screening of light) of the hands. We re-analyzed previous data of
laying-on-of-hands experiments and compared them with additional data.
We concluded that the J value had sufficient validity as an index because
its distribution was a normal distribution. Variation of intensities of
biophotons of samples, differences of speed of drying or the rate of condensing
of photons, drifts of temperature and background noise, effects of delayed
luminescence, and difference of sensitivities of the measuring system were
not considered to have any serious influence on the results. We found that
in only the healing condition was the intensity of biophotons of experimental
samples significantly larger than the intensity of controls (Wilcoxon signed-rank
test, p = 6.5x10-7) and there was no significant difference in heat/shadow conditions. J
value was 0.142 in the healing condition, but J values were nearly zero
in the other conditions (ANOVA, p = 0.03). We reconfirmed that healing
effects are not the results of heat and shadow of the hands.

Faults obtained by the World Image of Scientific Mainstream
- Masato ISHIKAWA
School of Information and Communication, Meiji University, Tokyo (Tokyo,
Japan)
- Abstract:
- The scientific methodology regards predictability and practicability as
important. Although the theory construction should be based on pragamtic
data and facts, it is actually oriented to the world image held hiddenly
by scientific mainstream.
- Keywords:
- science and religion, data and theory, models, materialism, mind-body problem

A World Image of Parapsychology
- Masato ISHIKAWA
Institute for Living Body Measurements, International Research Institute
(Chiba, Japan)
- Abstract:
- It is said that there are many kinds of paranormal phenomena. However,
several phenomena are given quite different names from various viewpoints.
The reasons are due to historical/cultural backdrop and tastes of a person,
not only complexity of the phenomena. The author deals with some examples
and discusses their ideas and concepts
- Keywords:
- superdimension, resonance, observasional theory, information systems, holography

How Can We Analyze the Consciousness by EEG?
- Kimiko KAWANO
Centre for Informatics and Sciences, Nippon Medical School (Tokyo, Japan)
- Abstract:
- Many phenomena, which are difficult to explain under the current ordinary
science, are often related to human consciousness. Whether the origins
of every consciousness exist in the brain or not, the closest organ related
to the consciousness is undoubtedly the brain. So, the measurements of
the brain must be useful to investigate such phenomena. Among many kinds
of non-invasive brain measurements EEG is considered to be the best method
for the consciousness study at this time as EEG measurement disturbs the
consciousness state less than other methods. However, how can we select
the essential information from the EEG data? Moreover, what is the consciousness?
How shall we consider the consciousness related to the brain structure?
The author will discuss these questions using EEG data measured previously
and recent findings in brain science.

The Possibilities of Acupuncture on Enhancement of Cell
Proliferation in the Brain and Clinical Application for Central Nervous System Disorders
- Hideaki TAMAI
Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Jichi Medical
University, Graduate School,
- Doctor Course of Medical Science (Tochigi, Japan)
- Abstract:
- Acupuncture has been used as an important therapy for various diseases
in the East Asian medicine from ancient time. Recently scientific evidence
of acupuncture has been indicated gradually, and acupuncture has expanded
in the Western countries in a short time. Acupuncture is expected to be
applied for several nervous system disorders. This time I present the possibilities
of acupuncture on enhancement of cell proliferation in the brain, that
I have investigated in Jichi Medical University and have reported abroad,
and improvement from consciousness disturbance and muscle spasticity of
central nervous system disorders.
- Keywords:
- acupuncture, cell proliferation, brain, central nervous system disorder

Quantum Monadology Seen from the Three Points of View:Systems, Consciousness and Brain
- Teruaki NAKAGOMI
Faculty of science, Kochi University(Kochi, Japan)
- Abstract:
- In this talk, I describe quantum monadology from the three viewpoints:
Systems, Consciousness and Brain. A system that a physicist deals with
is cut out from the whole universe dependent on his arbitrary choice and
itself can be divided more as it is. The brain as a neuro-network is such
a dividable system, and consciousness cannot exist in it, because consciousness
is a un-dividable unity. In order to understand consciousness we need the
concept of monad as a proper system which is not defined by any division
of the world. Quantum physics has a structure in which an arbitrary division
of the world does not allowed, which has an affinity to the concept of
a monad and leads us to quantum monadology. If the brain has consciousness,
it must be a coherent quantum machine as well as a classical neuro-network
machine.
- Keywords:
- quantum, monad, system, consciousness, brain
