Abstract
Medical biometrics based on the gas discharge visualisation (GDV) technique is used in medicine to monitor patients and compare their natural electro-photonic emission before and after surgeries, cancer treatments, energy healing, and physiotherapy. This article proposes the use of GDV technology to test the survival hypothesis. The survival hypothesis asserts that a person's personality and consciousness survive the body's physical death. This study aims to use GDV to identify psychoemotional functions through a person’s fingertips to measure personality before and after death, to prove the survival of personality after death. Psychoemotional functions are linked to the personality of the individual. In this article, a case study is presented with psychoemotional functions measurements using GDV before and after death, then a statistical test for the difference of means was performed to determine if the difference between the average values (means) of energies of the before and after death is statistically significant to test the survival hypothesis. Preliminary results are reported and show the potential of this technology to prove the survival of the personality hypothesis.
