REGISTRATIONS FOR THIS EVENT WILL CLOSE TWO HOURS BEFORE THE TALK IS DUE TO START.
ALL SPR WEB EVENTS ARE RECORDED AND A LINK TO THE RECORDING WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY SENT TO THOSE WHO REGISTER TO ATTEND WHEN THE RECORDING IS READY.
Join us for an enlightening talk: Embodied Liminality: Sensory isolation in floatation tanks as a method of promoting psi phenomena.
From the speaker:
Inspired by the insights and recommendation of John Lilly (1969), inventor and pioneer of the floatation tank as a means of inducing altered states of consciousness (by vastly reducing environmental stimuli), and more recently by the work of Cooper, Saunders and Hitchman (2020) who conducted a pilot study exploring the utility of floatation in a psi task. This presentation will report on the results on a subsequent, extended experiment, undertaken at the University of Northampton. During this study we explored participant performance on a precognition task, and the significance of both the experiential qualities and contents of consciousness e.g., visual imagery, sense of time and some intriguing transpersonal experiences - also, any correlations with individual differences of participants i.e., transliminality creativity and sensory processing sensitivity (see e.g., Hitchman, Rock & Roe, 2023).
