Is telepathy real — and can it be proven scientifically?
And what does it mean for our understanding of consciousness?In this episode of Being Human, we speak with Dr. Diane Hennacy, psychiatrist, neuroscientist, former Johns Hopkins faculty member, and author of The ESP Enigma. Diane has spent years rigorously testing individuals — including autistic savants — who appear to demonstrate astonishing telepathic abilities.
We explore why she believes consciousness is not produced by the brain but decoded by it, and what this means for our understanding of what it is to be human.
Diane is hugely entertaining in this profound conversation linking neuroscience, intuition, and human potential.
We explore:
Early experiences with extrasensory perception
First meeting a telepathic autistic child
Finding fame with The Telepathy Tapes and plans for even more sophisticated experiments
Implications for society
What is consciousness and can AI develop it?
