Excellent! Thanks! --Winston

Cyclotron reasonace doesn't need a cyclotron - just an ion, a magnetic field and an RF field with a frequency that is a close match to the charge-to-mass ration of the ion and the magnetic field, and an environment for the ion where the mean free path is a lot longer than the circular path of the ion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_cyclotron_resonance Invoking it as mechanism for getting RF energy into the brain is evidence of an imprefect education in physics. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

That is fair. (Still, I would like a yes / no answer from you whether you believe there is evidence to support the theory that Dr. Adey *did* use modulated non-ionizing radiation to steer a lab animal's eyes against that animal's will, as he claimed in his paper.) > You are a long way short of that, and my current scepticism is > correspondingly rational, despite what you'd like to think. Bill, despite my attempt at humorously characterizing your position on this, I hope I have never implied that I believe you're anything less than perfectly rational. I don't claim another is behaving irrationally unless I have a good solid reason. Skepticism is good. Sometimes people who disagree with me are correct and my point is incorrect. Discovery of that is a 'teachable moment' for me and I relish it. >> That is good because >> science is largely based on the attempt to invalidate a guess. >> >> If I had the funding and some amazingly generous >> terminally ill volunteers, I would pursue the effect >> and publish a report that you would find compelling. > > You could try.

That will be the thing I learned today. Thank you. > Invoking it as mechanism for getting RF energy into the brain is > evidence of an imprefect education in physics. Guilty as charged. I took Dr. Adey's evidence about calcium movement at face value. I am skeptical about the resonance you point out as well. Resonance is by definition frequency dependent. Dr. Adey's transmitter effect is frequency dependent only at the EEG level (~16 Hz), not WRT carrier frequency. I feel calcium efflux is a side issue anyway. I claim I do not know *why* involuntary brain control apparently is always caused by a particular kind of modulated non-ionizing radiation and you claim that calcium efflux is very unlikely to have been caused by cyclotron resonance, in this case. If we never find out exactly *why* involuntary brain control apparently is always caused by a particular kind of modulated non-ionizing radiation it will matter much less than knowing *that* involuntary brain control apparently is always caused by a particular kind of modulated non-ionizing radiation, however the movement of calcium ions may be linked to the phenomenon or not. I still think the transmitter will work disturbingly well, based on Dr. Adey's research findings. :) Thanks! --Winston

He may have got the effect he described, but I doubt if the non- ionising radiation had much to do with it, apart - perhaps - from warming up the lab animals scalp. That sort of experiment offers room for a lot of confounds. <snip> > I still think the transmitter will work disturbingly well, > based on Dr. Adey's research findings. :) I think you are taking Dr. Adey's results a lot too seriously - his explanation is (to put it kindly) unlikely to be the only explanation that fits the data he presents. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen |
