Karol K. Truman

The concept is good, but my first impression in reading was pretty poor. The story in chapter 2 on page 12 about scientists trying to measure the brain waves of a person at the time of death has several things in it that set off alarm bells about the story being a fabrication. Some that I remember now are:
* Brain waves for each person being unique? Like a fingerprint? Um?
* The machine they were using barely registered a 50 kW transmitter and they expected to record something as subtle as brain waves with it? Really? The equipment required is totally different in many respects. For example radio waves are high frequency, and brain waves are very low frequency.
* The description of the setup did not match what one would use to record brain waves.
* There was no evidence of experimental design. That anecdote was followed up by a nurse making a patient angry using the same recording equipment. Again, no evidence of experimental design.
* Was this a sample size of one? How applicable is that?

So, I went looking for a source.
* No footnote or endnote
* No sources cited
* No index

How disappointing that this book does not come across as reliable.… (meer)
