The Gut-Brain Connection and Telepathy

Recorded on December 13, 2024

The enteric nervous system, commonly known as the gut-brain, is a critical part of the human nervous system that regulates the gastrointestinal tract but may also have surprising abilities. It communicates directly with the brain, which might explain gut feelings and intuitive instincts. IONS scientists believe the gut-brain might even act as a telepathic “receiver,” picking up on emotions from distant individuals.

Garret Yount, PhD, joined us for this fascinating webinar. He discussed groundbreaking research on gut-brain telepathy taking place in the IONS lab and explained why the science team thinks they’re close to discovering a new, nonlocal dimension of intuition.

PRESENTER

Garret Yount, PhD, is a molecular neurobiologist at IONS where his research focuses on laboratory-based models of exceptional human abilities. He obtained his BS from the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology at the Pennsylvania State University and his PhD from the Department of Neurobiology & Behavior at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He began his formal studies in consciousness research with a small grant from the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1995, which allowed him to work with biofield practitioners and spiritual healers in the laboratory. Since then, Dr. Yount has conducted carefully controlled laboratory experiments with spiritual healers and biofield practitioners from around the world, including China, Brazil, Canada, USA, Japan, India, Russia, Hungary, and Sri Lanka, and was fortunate to be among the first scientists to be awarded a Research Project Grant (R01) from the National Institutes of Health to study energy healing. He is the author of many peer-reviewed scientific papers and the book Why Vibes Matter: Understand Your Energy and Learn How to Use it Wisely.
