Frontier Science and Information Biology [FSIB]
This area involves clinical and basic research on frontier areas of science and healing and the area called information biology.  These areas include:


1. Distant healing and the effects of prayer, especially distant intercessory prayer, and the transpersonal aspects of spirituality, ritual and symbolic therapies.

2. The nature of intuitive diagnosis and subtle information detection including the possible role of precognition and pre-stimulus responses to events.

3. The non-local and transpersonal nature of consciousness and perception including studies exploring the fundamental nature of how our mind deals with time and space. Areas of special interest include development of research models that investigate the phenomena of entanglement in macroscopic systems such as EEG and neuroimaging correlations of group bonding and connectivity.

4. Studies exploring acausality such as the direction of time perception, precognitive responses, their boundaries and the mechanisms of the direct [non-mediated, non-local] effects of intention, attention, perception, emotion and ritual.

5. Basic science studies of homeopathy including studies of the physical/chemical nature of homeopathic remedies and their effects in physical, chemical, enzymatic, cellular and whole animal models. Of special interest are the possible effects of homeopathy in models of trauma, brain injury and neurological diseases, cancer, environmental toxicology, biological and chemical terrorism protection, and international health problems including HIV, malaria and other parasitic infections, TB and emerging infections.

6. Both basic and clinical research on bioenergy including measurement of the energy fields that emanate from the body, the possible alteration of the structure of physical space during healing rituals and practices and the evaluation of bioenergy practices in laboratory models and clinical settings.

7. Attempts to manipulate biological and clinical processes with electromagnetic and digital signals. Areas of digital biology include the electromagnetic imprinting of signals in water with sound or radiofrequencies, the detection and manipulation of biological parameters through solid material, induction of sleep and reduction of pain with the magnetic devices and the enhancement of wound healing with near IR radiation, blue light, millimeter wave and other digital and electromagnetic signals.
