Cerebral Activity and Source Profiles Accompanying the Process of Non-Locality

The independently rated congruence of subjects' drawings and descriptions with the content of affective pictures hidden similar to 50 m away were correlated with cerebral quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) and LORTEA (Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography) over three weekly trials. A shift over time from left prefrontal gamma activity to right caudal hemispheric delta activity was associated with increased accuracy. Increased accuracies for the details for the non-local stimuli during sessions were associated with greater congruence within the 25-30 Hz and theta (4-7 Hz) range between the parahippocampal regions. Increased theta power also occurred in the left anterior cingulate, fusiform gyrus and midtemporal regions. We suggest that experiences of non-locality involve confluence within the right parahippocampal region and are translated for their personal and linguistic equivalents within specific left hemispheric structures.
