The astronomer and computer scientist who contributed to an early computer map of Mars and to ARPANET's information infrastructure proposed something more unsettling: the phenomenon may be physical and real without being simply extraterrestrial. It may operate beside us, adopt the imagery each culture can understand and gradually influence human belief and consciousness.

Does the brain block psi abilities? The experiment that weakened a frontal filter

A controlled study in Cortex tested an unusual idea: the brain may not only generate conscious experience, but also filter some of its capacities. After temporary inhibition of a left frontal region with rTMS, one group among 108 healthy participants produced a small but statistically significant shift in a random event generator. This was a focused test of micro-psychokinesis, not proof of telepathy or remote viewing, but it turned an old philosophical idea into a neurobiological hypothesis that can be tested in a laboratory.

Four decades later, science does not validate the claimed source of the contact, but it now takes several of those questions seriously.
