HUMAN ENERGY EMMISSIONS STUDY
PHASE 1 - 3

Subject: Fei Wang (Chinese, Passport No.:E01774100)
DOB: October 24, 1982

Abstract:

On October 6th 2013 Mr. Fei Wang (Chinese, Passport No.:E01774100) contacted the NECAPS team claiming to have the ability to emit an unidentified energy from his right hand. His primary goal was to gain a better understanding of the phenomena and effectively document the effects. Mr. Wang claimed the energy he emits can be physically felt by volunteers willing to be subjected to its output. He also claims that those individuals who practice meditation have an increased potential to feel the energy and, according to Mr. Wang, 30% of all individuals in groups as large as 15 or better are able to experience this phenomena. Additionally, under certain quiet conditions, he may be able to pinpoint and relieve certain areas of pain felt in the volunteers. Our goal is to truly find a definitive answer as to whether Mr. Wang indeed possesses the ability he claims. It is our hypothesis that these effects may be caused by a suggestive or placebo-like effect. Blind tests with multiple volunteers will confirm or rule out this hypothesis.
Procedure

Phase 1
Performed: 19th Oct 2013
The experimentation with Mr. Wang was to be divided into multiple phases; the first of which was a preliminary interview and demonstration at a private meeting room in the Copley Square/Weston Hotel Boston, MA. During this interview our team recorded the background history of Mr. Wang’s experiences and subsequently took turns being exposed to the proposed phenomena. Controls were not taken at this time as we were simply trying to establish that an unusual phenomenon does indeed exist.
The results of our initial meeting /demonstration concluded with 7 out the 8 participants claiming to experience some form of interaction. The descriptions of the phenomena were described as a tingling static-like sensation on the subject hand which seemed to last for as long as an hour past the experience. Two of volunteers noted an additional heavy feeling accompanying the static sensation and likened the experience to their hand being underwater.
The relative success of the initial meeting warranted further investigation and therefore the experimentation was advanced to the second phase.
Phase 2
Performed: 16th Nov 2013
During this phase three volunteers were assembled, each blind folded and ears plugged to prevent external sensory influence. The heart rate, blood pressure, galvanic skin response, respiratory activity and brainwaves were monitored and recorded for each volunteer. Our intention was to establish a blind environment and measure the physiological changes each individual to establish if an experience beyond a subjective psychological effect does indeed occur.
In addition the elements mentioned above, each volunteer was given a trigger button to push when they believed they were experiencing a sensation on their hand. This would mark any moments of interaction that may not have been recorded by our equipment. In addition, one of the members of the NECAPS team (Michael Baker) acted as a control and attempted to mimic Mr. Wang’s movements following each test. This was done to determine of the phenomena was caused by body heat or the close proximity of another human being.
All of the interactions were recorded visually and audibly and were analyzed using thermal spectrograph technology. The thermal imaging would allow the team to see any particular temperature changes within the volunteers or Mr. Wang during the experiment.

Results

Volunteer 1
The first test was performed on a 50 year old Female named “Amy” and lasted a total of 11 minutes. Amy did not claim to experience any interaction during the experiment. It should be noted that there was an audible disturbance during Amy’s test which may have interrupted the quiet environment required by Mr. Wang. There were no noticeable thermo graphic changes to Amy’s hand during the course of the experiment.
EEG - Brain wave activity for Amy showed no adverse changes, but did demonstrate a state of anxiety or stress which may be attributed to nervousness. High attentive state.
Heart Rate - There were no adverse or sudden changes in Amy’s heart rate during the experiment. Her heart rate remained normal at : 75 BPM – Event began at 6:38p

GSR - Galvanic skin response showed an increase in perspiration, signifying nervousness, but no adverse effects to the interaction of Mr. Wang. – Event began at 00:10:33

GSR Readings
Respiration - Respiration and thermography showed no adverse changes during the experiment and there were no interactions felt during the control session. Respiration 15
Blood Pressure - Amy’s blood pressure seemed to increase during the experiment from 102/70 to 108/80 this rise may be attributed to nervousness.

Volunteer 2
The second experiment was performed on a 33 year old female named “Lauren” and lasted for 13 minutes. Unlike Amy, Lauren did claim to feel an interaction during the experiment which coincided with Mr. Wang’s actions. This response was captured on film. According to Lauren, she felt a “Magnetic sensation pulling her hand to the side.” During this moment, Mr. Wang’s gestures can be seen following the motion described by Lauren. The thermography images captured during Lauren’s experiment seem to show an increase in heat on her right hand during the time that Mr. Wang begins the interaction. The exact level of change is as yet undetermined. This heat variable seems to disappear when Mr. Wang’s hand is removed and does not seem to re-appear when the control (Michael Baker) is introduced.
EEG - There were no adverse changes recorded in Laurens brain waves during this experiment that coincided with the activities of Mr. Wang. However, it should be noted that Lauren was shown to be in a meditative state (low Alpha) for the majority of the test.
Heart Rate - There were no adverse changes in Lauren’s heart rate to indicate a reaction to Mr. Wang’s activity, however it should be noted that Lauren’s heart rate did drop from to over the course 13 minutes the experiment was performed.

GSR - There was a noticeable galvanic skin change that seemed to coincide with the actions of Mr. Wang. The erratic measurements recorded prior to the test were due to hand movements; however these erratic measurements seem to steady out as the test begins. There is a noticeable drop in skin conductivity at the precise time Mr. Wang approaches Lauren’s hand. There are a few increases that coincide with Mr. Wang’s approaches. Experiment starts at 00:02:04 Event starts at.00:02:55

Respiration - Respiration remained normal at throughout the length of the experiment.
Blood Pressure - Unlike Amy, Lauren’s blood pressure seemed to drop throughout the course of the experiment from 116/78 to 108/70 This may be the result of a relaxed environment. | | |

Volunteer 3
The third experiment was performed on a 49 year old woman named “Laura” and lasted for a total of 13 minutes. Like Lauren, Laura did claim to experience an interaction with Mr. Wang during the test. According to Laura, she felt the sensation of her arm being pulled forward as well as a tingling sensation that traveled from her hand to her elbow. It should be noted that this sensation coincided with the hand motions of Mr. Wang. The thermography images captured during Laura’s experiment seem to show an increase in heat on her right hand during the time that Mr. Wang begins the interaction. This reaction is similar to Lauren’s test. The exact level of change is as yet undetermined. This heat variable seems to disappear when Mr. Wang’s hand is removed and does not seem to re-appear when the control (Michael Baker) is introduced.
EEG- This test was unfortunately inconclusive due to the equipment moving on the subjects head. The readings become inaccurate prior to the trigger being actuated. High Alpha waves were predominant.
Heart Rate – Average sustained heart rate is 102.9 BPM. There were no significant changes in heart rate however the heart rate did drop by 1 BPM when the trigger was pushed. This result is not significant.

GSR – There was a noticeable response concerning GSR that occurred during the time of triggering. The skin conductivity decreased from 320KOhms to 440KOhms followed by a gradual and unstable increase in conductivity for the remainder of the test.

Respiration – Respiratory responses were normal and remained so throughout the testing (avg. 18 breaths per minute)
Blood Pressure – Prior to the testing, Laura’s blood pressure was 118/68, after the test her blood pressure was 116/72. Not a significant drop but it should be noted that both subjects who felt the energy had a subsequent drop in BP. The one person who didn't feel the energy had an increase in BP.
Thermal photos - While the series of photos appear to show a different heat response between Fei and Michael (the control subject), on closer examination it seems we need to study these photos further. When a new and hotter heat subject is introduced into the picture, the color scales change. This may be causing an erroneous estimation of what is going on in the photo. We will look closer to verify. | | |

Conclusion

While a definitive conclusion as to the true nature of Mr. Wang’s ability is difficult to make considering the small blind sample size of 3 volunteers, our experiences and the results of the tests performed thus far seem to suggest this phenomena is not likely to be the result a placebo effect or a hoax. The claims of Mr. Wang seem to withstand the small yet efficient testing performed in our lab. The testimony of Mr. Wang is consistent and none of the members of our team feel Mr. Wang is being anything but sincere. While an emitted energy seems to be present in the test cases thus far, the nature of the energy is as of yet undetermined. It is recommended that further testing be done with larger volunteer samples and a variety of physiological and psychological measurements and evaluations to isolate biological conditions and mental states present in both the volunteers experiencing this phenomena as well as Mr. Wang.
Some key observations: 1. It should be noted that the two individuals (Lauren and Laura) both experienced sensations as well as changes in temperature, and GSR readings that coincided with the activity of Mr. Wang. They were also able to accurately describe Mr. Wang’s direction of movement through these sensations.

2. The experiences of the volunteers described in phase 2 of the experiment seem to coincide with the results of our initial uncontrolled experiment (phase 1) and the claims of Mr. Wang.
