The 15th Celebration of the Founding of The International Society of Life Information Science (ISLIS)
The 30th Symposium on Life Information Science
“Seeking a New World View Which Can Explain Wonderful Phenomena” IV
Expectations for Holding the Fuji Camp

Abstract:

The International Society of Life Information Science (ISLIS) has sought scientific proofs of existence of wonderful phenomena and resolution of their principles in these 15 years since its foundation in 1995. the 30Thirty symposia have been held and 30 issues of the Journal of International Society of Life Information Science (Journal of ISLIS), totaling more than 5,000 pages, have been published periodically. The existence of many wonderful phenomena has been proved scientifically in these 15 years; however, their accompanying principles have not been resolved. Therefore, many participants will gather at Fuji camp in Yamanashi, Japan and hold discussions on these and other matters. A variety of phenomena such as spiritual healing, qi gong, ayurveda, near-death experiences, and supernatural phenomena exist which can not be explained by modern science results. 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, alternative medicine therapytherapies, etc.

Spatial Distribution of Potential of Controlled Healing Power
? Exploratory Measurement Using Cucumber as a Bio-sensor ?

Abstract:

The authors tried to measure a spatial distribution (X-Y plane) of controlled healing power around a healer by a gas measurement method using cucumber (Cucumis sativus ‘white spin type’) as a bio-sensor. The healer was W003 (a 41-year old female) who is well known as a psychic. After being seated in a chair, the healer then did non-contact healing (laying-on-of-hands) for 30 min to increase the odor of the target cucumber pieces in 2 experimental Petri dishes which were set on a table (67 cm height). To measure the distribution of potential around her body, cucumber pieces were next set at 20 points (70 cm height) around her: 4 points at 50 cm intervals in forward, backward, rightward and leftward directions from the healer; and 4 points at 45-degree angles between the four directions (about 2.5 m distant from her). Two healing trials were done with a 15-min rest between them. During trials, control pieces were kept in another room (with a straight distance of 12 m between the healer and controls). After 24 h, gas concentrations of each cucumber sample were measured with gas detection tubes for ethyl acetate (141L, Gastec), and J values (the natural logarithm of the ratio of gas concentrations of experimental and control samples) were calculated at every point. The results suggested that a specific potential was generated around the healer which was not the Coulomb potential, and this potential had anisotropy between the front-backward and right-leftward directions.
