Gas discharge visualisation (GDV) technology, which measures electro-photonic emission from fingertips, is proposed as a tool to test whether personality and consciousness survive physical death. A case study measured psychoemotional functions via GDV before and after death, then used a statistical test for the difference of means to compare average energy values. Preliminary results suggest the technology may have potential to support the survival hypothesis, though the text reports only that the difference was assessed for statistical significance without providing specific numbers or the test outcome.
The Quantum Hologram Theory of Consciousness (QHTC) proposes that consciousness is non-local and that altered states can reveal how the mind operates in multiple ways. Drawing on Schrödinger's idea that the quantum wave function is a field of consciousness, QHTC extends holographic theories of the brain: the brain processes images into interference patterns, like a laser hologram, and then reconstructs them into virtual images. These quantum waves store vast information, which the brain uses to construct three-dimensional reality. The article argues that QHTC should be the main framework for research on altered states of consciousness and discusses methods for gathering data and entering altered states for experiments.
