Abstract
In order to replicate and extend the observation that inner light during meditation was associated with specific changes in brain activity, quantitative EEG measurements were completed simultaneously with measurements of photon emissions (with a photomultiplier tube) while three subjects (one concentrative meditator, two non-mediators) imaged an inner white light. There were consistent strong (r=0.5) correlations between photon emission from the right side of the head and changes in power within the right prefrontal-central regions. The quantitative convergence of the energies associated with photon emission, change in cerebral power, and the minute decrease in the local adjacent geomagnetic field in the same plane as the photon emission, suggests that experience of an “inner light” may reflect actual photon production whose energies are shared with changes in the proximal intensity of the geomagnetic field in the plane associated with photon emission.
