- Abstract:
- The International Society of Life Information Science (ISLIS) has sought scientific proofs of existence of wonderful phenomena and
resolution of their principles since its foundation in 1995. 28 symposia
have been held and 28 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 14 years. The existence of many wonderful phenomena has been proved
scientifically in these years; however, their accompanying principles have
not been resolved. Therefore, many participants will gather at Hakone camp
in Kanagawa, Japan and hold 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 will be explained to the participants, and
then discussions will be held about these topics. Moreover, direct interactions
and experiences in each field will be offered to participants, such as
various demonstrations of qi gong, therapy, etc. As an option, participants
can also deepen their understanding about hypnotic therapy etc.

- Measuring Brain Blood Flow Change by fNIRS during an Out-of-Body Experience

- Abstract:
- In an out-of-body experience (OBE) a person feels his consciousness leaves
his own body. Dao-jiao Nei-dan-fa (tao method) can induce a meditative
OBE. The author used near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure a body
parameter change during OBE. The veteran subject (male, 71y) showed remarkable
decrease of brain blood flow in his prefrontal brain area.

- out-of-body experience, OBE, near infrared spectroscopy, fNIRS, brain blood flow, prefrontal area, tao

- Abstract:
- he aim of this article is to examine a case suggesting the existence of reincarnation by examining so-called past-life memories. Specifically, we will focus on a case of xenoglossy (a phenomenon in which a person shows the ability to use a language that he or she cannot have learned by natural means). We examine the words the subject uttered while she was in the state of hypnosis and the information she provided.

- Abstract:
- Measurements of EEGs and other physiological changes while practicing Taichi-quan were followed up from our last JISLIS report. In these measurements, we studied responses of a female beginner who did Taichi-quan training for a 6-month period. Her EGG and other measurements were compared with those of two experts who have been training for 12 and 20 years. As a comparison for the benefits of Taichi-quan exercise, a simple stepping was carried out. The EEG
waves, which are usually large in the occipital area, become smaller during
Taichi-quan, because of movement. However, the
waves of advanced trainees decreased only a little and the ratios of the
frontal to the occipital
waves, [Fp]/[O], became large. The beginner in this report could practice
Taichi-quan in a more relaxed manner as the length of the training period
became longer and her
waves became gradually larger. In the same time, the frontal ? waves also became larger and the ratio [Fp]/[O] tended to become slightly larger with each additional training month. In the resting state after the comparison stepping exercise, the awakened level of the subjects tended to become lower, though that after Taichi-quan the level was kept very well.

- Abstract:
- We measured brain blood flow using fNIRS for subjects while they did choreography
memory task accompanying a music DVD. We found common activated areas at
the prefrontal area of four subjects and those were considered to be areas
activated by music. The other activated areas could be categorized into
two patterns. One of them seemed to be a reflection of memory activities
to guess the whole process of the choreography comprehensively, and the
other was a reflection of guessing a logical or spatial structure of the
choreography. Working memory areas were not activated. Our results suggested
a possibility that different strategies of memory showed different patterns
at prefrontal areas.

- Development of a Gas Measurement Method with Cucumber as a Bio-sensor
- Hideyuki KOKUBO, Osamu TAKAGI and Mikio YAMAMOTO
- Bio-Emission Laboratory, International Research Institute (Chiba, Japan)
- Abstract:
- Using biophotons from cucumber, the authors previously developed a quantitative
measurement method for non-contact healing (bio-PK). A biophoton measurement
method can estimate a healerfs controlled healing power in just one or
two trials. However, expensiveness of the equipment for biophoton measurements
has obstructed widespread use of the method. The authors took notice of
a gas being generated simultaneously with the emission of biophotons, and
tried to develop an easy method in which this gas is measured by a gas-measuring
detector tube. There is no specialized tube for cucumber gas, but the authors
found that a short-term quick-measuring detector tube for ethyl acetate
(141L, Gastec, Japan) can be used. Then, an easy and inexpensive method
was developed in which pieces of cucumber are set in a sealed container
and their gas emission is measured with the gas detector tube 24h later.

- gas detector tube, ethyl acetate, biosynthesis of green odor, cucumber,
bio-sensor, non-contact healing, bio-PK, biophoton

- Considerations on Consciousness-Science for Miscellaneous Mysterious Phenomena
Considerations on spiritual phenomena or the spirit from the viewpoint of information waves
- Yutaka MAEDA
- Maeda Techno OfficeiKanagawaCJapanj
- Abstract:
- It is recognized that there are miscellaneous mysterious phenomena caused
by human Qi which is a mind-wish composed of information. Information has
a universal (or non-local) existence in the space-time world with the indeterminacy
principle of quantum theory for ultra-minute particles or waves. Information
is also thought to exist in a thin distribution in the whole space from
ancient times to the future. Chemical information in the structural bodies
of deoxyribonucleic acids becomes the source of life-phenomena. If it is
supposed that a similar phenomenon can occur with information structural
bodies which consist of ultra-minute information particles, it is possible
to think that there is a soul or spirit of universal (or non-local) existence.
This soul or spirit is resonant with consciousness of a human being and
it is possible to cause spiritual phenomena, for instance, channeling,
dependence, or power of words and suggestion, etc.
- Keywords:
- Qi, mind-wish, mysterious phenomena, information wave, consciousness science, spiritual phenomena, Spirit, power of words
