New telepathy test, the sequel.

You are actually not justifying your claim of a fraction of nanowatt for the brain power in any way.

Well, if you don't understand simple electromagnetism, I shall not bother to educate you.

In addition, you said:

But this actually doesn't make any sense because the impedance is an integral (not a local) quantity.

You are wrong.

One can talk about the impedance of a resistor, or even of the brain, but not of a tissue, which has a certain conductivity (but no impedance).

You are silly. Conductivity implies impedance. I shall, however, elaborate a bit, just to humor you: A conductivity of a substance implies an impedance per cube.

You're reversing the burden of proof. You're the one claiming that the human brain radiates electromagnetic energy with a frequency and power that facilitates radio communication across vast distances. Aside from one wildly inaccurate estimate of unrelated wattage, you have supplied absolutely no information, upon request, of the specific physical parameters that would enable the brain to do this. You have no basis to be accusing others of failing to support their points, and at this point I highly doubt your qualifications.

As I said, the electrical, and electromagnetic properties of the human nervous system are not a deeply held secret.
 
Michel, you said you're a published physicist right?

Would you mind telling me what papers you published and what journals they were in please?

He posted three references, earlier in the thread, to papers he supposedly published in the 1980s. They were on topics entirely unrelated to ESP, psychology, neurophysiology, or any of the nonsense he's pontificating on now. And we have no way of knowing whether he really authored those papers. I was hoping he would demonstrate his claimed expertise in physics by demonstration, but it seems he is unwilling or unable.
 
Are you literally claiming human tissue has no electrical impedance?
A piece of human tissue may have an electric impedance, if you explain where you are going you put your in and out electrodes, but speaking of impedance of some kind of tissue makes no sense.

One can, however, measure resistivity or conductivity of any human or animal tissue.

These kinds of mistakes reveal the low scientific level of those who attack me.

It's often the same song: a great abundance of personal attacks, but intelligent arguments with references are nowhere to be found.

It's a good thing that encephalography does that. And such mundane applications as continuous blood glucose monitoring, employed in consumer products. Start reading with the work of H.P. Schwan, who pioneered tissue impedance measurement as a diagnostic technique in the late 1950s.

No.

You are not qualified in any of the sciences you've dabbled in at this forum. You display little if any understanding of prior art in any of it, but arrogantly consider yourself well enough versed in all of it to declare that you're prepared to do that science better than any of its other practitioners.

You've been invited several times to give the physics details of your purported brain radio. I would expect a fully qualified physicist to be able to do that easily. Instead the best you could manage was a link to an irrelevant Reddit thread. And now you're stumbling and bluffing your way through a discussion of those same principles.

Your attempt to perform human-subjects research on ESP is comically inept. You ignore statistical significance. Your methodology is indistinguishable from cheating. And even if you could make the case that it's a necessary and novel method, and not the cheating it blatantly looks like, you already admitted that it's irreproducible. When someone else followed your method, you said it lacked rigor. Most importantly, you said the quiet part loud: you admitted that the only results you will deem acceptable are those that confirm your belief. You're not some super-scientist.

And you're not the smartest guy in the room. Far from it. Every day you seem to provide more evidence of your ineptitude and bias. So dispense with the bluster. It's not fooling anyone.

It's often the same song: a great abundance of personal attacks, but intelligent arguments with references are nowhere to be found.

Stop whining. You're not being treated inappropriately. Given the absurdly inept nature of your pseudoscience, you should be lucky anyone at all is talking to you.
 
In fairness to Michel I think that it was him who published them. There's a Michel Hanck asking questions about telepathy and if people can read the thoughts he's broadcasting on Quora, and the papers are authored by an M Hanck.

Okay I'll entertain that conclusion. It's likely enough.

You are here talking about dynamic impedance, which is one kind of impedance. The dynamic impedance is basically independent from conductivity (although a certain range of conductivity is, of course, necessary to realize it). Instead, it depends on geometry and frequency. As you have failed to specify which frequency-band your assumed "brainwaves" work in, I have concentrated on conductivity.

We could go into deep details discussing and investigating the subject, but I take the liberty to defer this till such time as you have presented any observational evidence at all that there is anything to investigate.

I wonder where you got this order of magnitude.

If this is intended to be serious, perhaps you should provide a reference or a link to support your claim.
A typical adult human EEG signal is about 10 µV to 100 µV in amplitude when measured from the scalp.

Aurlien, H; Gjerde, I.O; Aarseth, J.H; Eldøen, G; Karlsen, B; Skeidsvoll, H; Gilhus, N.E (2004). "EEG background activity described by a large computerized database". Clinical Neurophysiology. 115 (3): 665–73. doi:10.1016/j.clinph.2003.10.019. PMID 15036063. S2CID 25988980.
 
I see the cycle continues with nothing being learned.

I need to ask, To whoever wishes to answer this; At what point will you cease to entertain Michels mental illness?

Page 67? Page 82? Page 571? How many paths are you willing to explore before you look at the summation to see they all conclude at the same dead end?

You are not and will not ever make progress here. I again implore the forum members here, If you want to earnestly help Micheal, Stop replying to him, put him on ignore, Otherwise you're just enabling him.


Cheers*

I suffer from schizoprenia. My first episode happend way back 1988. I truly believed that I am special, selected by god to be his spokesman. I also suffered from thought broadcasting and it was probably worse that what Michel is currently experiencing.

I started to search for god or way to contact god. My search ended when I ended up in jref forum. I seldom post anything, but I learned to question what I am experiencing. From believing in the existance of god without any doubt, to agnotism.

It had been good for the last 10 or more years. I had relapses but they only last for a couple of days. My medication causes lethargy and other side effects but I rather be 'sane' than skipping my meds. Accepting than I have mental issues helped me stay sane.

Yes, you guys had helped me stay sane.

I, for one, appreciate your honesty. That took courage.

Thanks for having the courage to post this. It sounds like a tough choice you have to make every day. I hope Michel can some day find his way to some similar kind of resolution.

Thank you for sharing this! It may not sink in with him now or even tomorrow but hopefully it will get in eventually. You have very likely helped others who read here as well.
