Quantum evidence of nonlocal consciousness during clinical death

The Innovation March 1, 2026 Álex Escolà-Gascón, Kenneth Drinkwater, Andrew Denovan et al.

If consciousness can operate under quantum principles, then the boundaries between life, death, and cognition are far more permeable than current science allows. In the first large-scale, randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial to test this possibility, conducted across 13 hospitals in the UK and Spain, we investigated whether the human mind can access information during clinical death—but...

Beyond the brain: a computational MRI-derived neurophysiological framework for robotic conscious capacity.

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews December 1, 2025 Álex Escolà-Gascón, Kenneth Drinkwater, Andrew Denovan et al.

Explaining when neural activity supports conscious processing remains an unresolved question in neuroscience. Current frameworks describe correlates of consciousness but rarely provide thresholds to predict its emergence or recovery. We introduce the Attribution Consciousness Index (ACI), a metric that estimates the generative potential of consciousness by balancing measures of dynamic...

Evidence of quantum-entangled higher states of consciousness.

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal 2025 Álex Escolà-Gascón 10 citations

What if quantum entanglement could accelerate learning by unlocking higher states of conscious experience? This study provides empirical and statistical evidence of how quantum entanglement influences consciousness at a biophysical level. We analyzed data from 106 monozygotic twin pairs (N = 212), randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. Using a consanguinity-based matching...

Mathematical proof of the Fisher-Escolà Q statistical distribution in quantum consciousness modeling.

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal 2025 Álex Escolà-Gascón, Julián Benito-León 5 citations

Quantum theories have long sought to explain conscious experience, yet their biggest challenge is not conceptual but methodological. A critical gap remains: the lack of statistical tools capable of empirically testing these theories against objective reality. This study introduces and formalizes the Q of Fisher-Escolà distribution, the first statistical model to integrate quantum and classical...

Interdisciplinary Review of Demonic Possession Between 1980 and 2023: A Compendium of Scientific Cases

Journal of Scientific Exploration December 28, 2023 Álex Escolà-Gascón, María Francisca Ovalle, Luke J. Matthews 1 citation

Episodes of demonic or spirit possession, where individuals perceive their bodies and minds as being controlled by supernatural entities, have been the subject of extensive research across various disciplines. Despite this, the extent to which existing scientific explanations can account for these phenomena is still uncertain, especially in terms of the aspects that remain unexplained. This...

Follow‐up on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) remote viewing experiments☆

Brain and Behavior May 3, 2023 Álex Escolà-Gascón, James Houran, Neil Dagnall et al. 6 citations

OBJECTIVES: Since 1972, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) commissioned several research programs on remote viewing (RV) that were progressively declassified from 1995 to 2003. The main objectives of this research were to statistically replicate the original findings and address the question: What are the underlying cognitive mechanisms involved in RV? The research focused on emotional...

Forced-choice experiment on Anomalous Information Reception and correlations with states of consciousness using the Multivariable Multiaxial Suggestibility Inventory-2 (MMSI-2).

Explore 2022 Álex Escolà-Gascón

An Anomalous Information Reception (AIR) experiment was developed. To statistically examine the occurrence of AIR in multiple experimental tests and explore their predictive psychological mechanisms. First, we investigated whether human beings could guess the positive or negative content from 30 randomly selected images that would be presented on a computer screen, one at a time. Ninety...

The Multivariable Multiaxial Suggestibility Inventory-2 (MMSI-2): A Psychometric Alternative to Measure and Explain Supernatural Experiences

Frontiers in Psychology July 16, 2021 Álex Escolà-Gascón, Neil Dagnall, Josep Gallifa

This paper presents the English adaptation of the Multivariable Multiaxial Suggestibility Inventory-2 (MMSI-2), a questionnaire developed specifically for psychological assessment and prediction of anomalous phenomena. The sample consisted of 613 respondents from England (47.6% were women and 52.4% men). All of them were of legal age (mean = 34.5; standard deviation = 8.15). An exploratory...
