A single-case study examined a channeler with 30 years of experience who claims to connect with non-corporeal intelligences. EEG results ruled out fraud and mental pathology as explanations for the experience, but the authors concluded that more information was needed to determine whether extrasensory perception was involved. The approach may help design future rigorous protocols for studying mediumship and channeling, potentially contributing to a better understanding of the brain during spiritual experiences.
