Where do you work by the way?

University of Manchester. We use NMR spectrometers for study of biomolecules.

I think it has been done, but not sure. It is possible to generate very strong magnetic fields but for a short period of time and poor homogenity. The strength of NMR mashines is mostly restricted by the need of the uniform magnetic field through the sample, not the true capacity of the superconductor.

That joke was noted

It MIGHT be the most hard proof of telekinesis after all

That wasn't quite what I was talking about but I am quite familiar with the ganzfeld procedure. I have even participated in some experiments that used it.

What I was refering to was the work of my psych prof Dr. Micheal Persinger. Do a google search on him (as I just did) and you will find a slew of articles. Take a look at a couple to get an idea of some of the specifics of his research. Beware though, a lot of the articles about him tend to have rather... creative... titles. His kind of work tends to attract those looking for a sensational story. Look for an article that actually describes the experiment, rather than one trying to ligitimize a crackpot theory or somesuch.

So are a lot of guys who spend too much time playing role-playing games. Their fantasy worlds have become more important than their real lives.
