Richard Silberstein - Telepathy in Twins

Telepathic twins are common in science fiction film, TV & literature. Is this fictional ability based on a real phenomenon? Neuroscientist Dr. Richard Silberstein discusses a new scientific study that suggests it is. The bioRxiv pre-print of a paper entitled, "Brain Functional Connectivity Correlates of Anomalous Interaction Between Sensorily Isolated Monozygotic Twins" discusses a scientific study examining brain functional connectivity changes associated with possible anomalous interaction between sensorily isolated monozygotic twins. Dr. Richard Silberstein, a professor of neuroscience at the Brain Sciences Institute of Swinburne University where he served as founding Director, and previously as head of the Department of Physics. Dr. Silberstein has a long standing interest in functional brain imaging and is the inventor of “Steady State Topography” (SST), a technique for mapping rapid changes in human brain activity. Steady State Topography has been used to investigate normal cognitive and emotional processes such short term memory, visual imagery and anxiety as well as disordered brain states such as schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. More recently, Prof Silberstein has used an SST variant to investigate the relationship between cognitive ability, including creativity and brain functional connectivity. Dr Silberstein has a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Melbourne, and in addition to his professorial duties, he also serves as Chairman and CEO of Neuro-Insight Pty. Ltd. a company offering SST based brain imaging consulting services to the communication services industry.
