I think it's absolutely f***ed up that any scientist that seeks to study the paranormal or esoteric aspects of the human mind looses credibility right off the bat. That is unless he's willing to enter the field with the mindset of debunking everything. Intelligent and well educated people can be just as stupid sometimes as ordinary people. I wish the man the best on his journey while I myself am highly skeptical of the subject he is studying I enjoy nothing more than to be proven wrong on such things. It is a fine line for this man and others like him to walk but if one succeeds in it they will be in the history books for the risk. This is a highly unexplored field mainly due to the stigma of it. There is much to be discovered.

I don't know about this. He, as the inventor of the god helmet is probably a great expert on the effects of magnetic fields on the brain. Maybe it IS possible to 'record' a persons brainstate and then with some kind of (magnetic) device alter another persons brainstate so that it resembles that of person A, and maybe that could even be done to such an extent that you could 'transfer' VERY basic things from one brain to another.
That doesn't sound far-fetched at all.

Claiming that the arrest of saddam husein was based on information from a psychic on the other hand, IS far-fetched in my opinion. If there was a psychic who said something like "saddam hussein is hiding in a hole in the ground in the middle of the dessert" i would not count that as evidence. It's way too basic and also a way too obvious thing to say.

If someone would have said though: "osama bin-laden is NOT hiding in a hole in the ground, but in a villa near a pakistani army base", that already would be a far more serious claim. I mean, who'd ever thought about THAT?
