My research interest is to develop scientific measures of ‘energy healing’ and other bioenergetic phenomena involving focused intent.  The sorts of questions that I am interested in:   How do we measure the “putative energies” involved in biofield therapies such as Reiki, Qigong and Healing Touch?  How do healers build-up charge in their bodies?  Can emotions be detected in the local environment?  My goals are, 1) to understand the energetic component of human psychophysiology, and 2) to develop medical devices that detect or therapeutically use these energies.  Currently, I am studying the heart rate variability and body potentials of energy healers and their clients, and the effects of healing on the immediate environment, as measured by magnetic field activity and random event generator output  in the healing space.
