There is already a GD thread, no reason to post the same thing here.

3

A new functional magnetic resonance imaging could give evidence that some powers exists , like telepathy.

4

How? MRIs have been around for long enough that if they were capable of detecting telepathic powers, the fact that they have not yet done so would suggest telepathy is not real.

5

Well, not just how, but why. If someone claims they can move objects with their brain, then it doesn’t really matter if an MRI says something freaky is happening in their skull, if they can’t actually move objects with their brain.

6

I think someone is confusing telepathy with telekinesis. I have both, but no MRI can detect it.

7

Yes, I can see how “detecting it” would be number 1 on your list of problems associated with your powers of telekinesis. :slight_smile:

8

Old RMI, Functional neuroimaging is new.

I’m telepathetic.

http://news.stanford.edu/news/2012/february/depression-brain-imaging-020912.html Stanford study suggests girls can ‘rewire’ brains to ward off depression

11

That’s not telepathy, telekinesis or anything else paranormal.

Brain “rewiring” after injury is nothing new.

12

How many people believe in it doesn’t matter to scientists. What people like Vinko Rajic claim also doesn’t matter.

Scientists aren’t researching it because all previous experiments showed up either empty or were deliberate trickery. That’s why Randi is involved - he worked as stage magician and so knows how to spot tricks.

Because scientists accept what they have evidence for. There is no evidence, so they don’t accept it.

James Randi has clearly stated on his website what he wants: an experiment that works. Both parties agree before hand on how it works.

I don’t know who Vinko Rajic is, but Uri Geller admitted back in the 70s that it was all trickery. Now he makes money again by deceiving people.

Generally, Randi is still offering his prize because those who like Geller or those psychics who prey on bereaved people, make buckloads of money cheating gullible people and aren’t interested in being proven wrong by failing the test.

Basically there are two type of people with psychic powers: those who are self-deceived (many water-dowsers) and believe they have powers, but fail in objective tests; and those who know it’s cheating, but make good money. These don’t apply in the first place because they know they can’t win.

And what you think about this ? http://telepathy-vinko-rajic.blogspot.com

14

You’re repeating yourself. Can’t you confine yourself to one thread on this subject?

15

A blog by somebody claiming telepathy without any proof.

So if I claim I can fly by flapping my arms and that I have flown to Mars this way, you will believe me?

If not, why do you believe Rajic?

16

By the way, here’s exactly the same thread that this genius posted in GD.

Suspect this one’s going to get locked so suggest respondents respond in the one I linked.

17

The OP has posted the exact same thing to five or more boards in cyberspace the last day or so. I’m closing this one. Great Debates is still open. Have fun.
