As someone who has had some dealing with schizophrenia, and
schizophrenics, I have to say I found no evidence of telepathy. This
included for example being involved with some research at NIH and
their inpatient study on schizophrenics (or more specifically people
diagnosed with schizophrenia, or specifically people diagnosed by
DOCTORS, or even more simply, one group of people calling another
group of people a name, and that group turning around and calling the
other group a name). Although I was involved with some of their
research with MRI, PET scan, MEG, EEG, eye scan, medication changes,
and other various tests, I actually probably spent more time on the
psych ward interacting with the patients and the nurses than directly
with the researchers really. (For the time I was there.) I still
keep in touch with some of the patients over e-mail and other ways,
not so the reseaarchers. But anyway, I didn't find any evidence for
telepathy to say. I did though become curious in "hearing voices".
For example, does John Edwards "hear voices" when he talks to the
dead? Do the people of the 700 club, when they get their "word of
knowledge" hear voices? etc.
