Twins, telepathy and the brain.
Professor Emeritus Richard Silberstein – Director of Neuro-Insight (Melbourne, Australia)
Richard will describe findings from a recent Melbourne study undertaken to examine changes in brain Functional Connectivity (FC) associated with possible anomalous interactions between sensorily isolated identical (monozygotic) twins. Five set of female twins served as participants where one twin (‘sender’) passively viewed 100 images presented at random successive intervals while their sister (‘receiver’) viewed a static image in another room. It was hypothesized that if the twins were to demonstrate anomalous interactions, then the ‘receiver’ FC will exhibit statistically significant changes only when their FC estimates are based on the ‘sender’ image appearance times. It was observed that FC changes were consistent with the hypothesis in 11 of the 38 recording sessions. The significance of the findings as well as the problems encountered will be discussed.

Richard Silberstein holds the title of Professor Emeritus at Swinburne University of Technology. He is the founder and Chief Scientist of Neuro-Insight Pty, a consumer neuroscience company operating in Melbourne, London and New York. Richard holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of Melbourne and a BSc (Hon) majoring in physics from Monash University. He has over 35 years of neuroscience research experience and is the originator of the Steady State Topography (SST) brain imaging methodology. He has authored and co-authored numerous publications in various areas of cognitive and clinical neuroscience as well as consumer neuroscience. His most recent publications address the topic of brain functional connectivity correlates of creativity and originality.
