Synesthesia and the Perception of Unseen Realities
Exceptional experiences (ExE) incorporate a range of phenomena including subjective paranormal and transpersonal experiences. Synesthesia and synesthetic experiences are discussed as important variables in understanding the etiologies of ExE. The neural and psychological correlates of synesthetic experiences (associated with hyperconnectivity) are discussed in relation to ExE. It is argued that synesthetic processes enable both the detection and …
An interpretative phenomenological analysis exploring synesthesia as an exceptional experience: Insights for consciousness and cognition
Previous research has indicated that there may be a role for synesthesia in exceptional experiences, including experiences which have been labeled “paranormal.” The current project sought to further understand what it is like to experience the world synesthetically and how synesthesia can inform our understanding of exceptional experiences (ExE). A case study was undertaken with a 27-year-old male participant (“Harry”) who experienced several for…
A phenomenological analysis of the relationship between grief, emotional stress and anomalous experiences
Mind–matter interaction (MMI) is understood in most existing literature relevant to the topic as a subjective experience of physical matter being affected by one’s own mind or the mind of another person in an anomalous manner. Much of the scholarship found on this phenomenon was written from a parapsychological perspective and, as such, has primarily utilised methods of research more or less in line with the natural sciences (i.e. statistical ana…
Exploring the perceptual biases associated with believing and disbelieving in paranormal phenomena
Ninety-five participants (32 believers, 30 disbelievers and 33 neutral believers in the paranormal) participated in an experiment comprising one visual and one auditory block of trials. Each block included one ESP, two degraded stimuli and one random trial. Each trial included 8 screens or epochs of "random" noise. Participants entered a guess if they perceived a stimulus or changed their mind about stimulus identity, rated guesses for confidence…
