Dr. Al Powers, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist, teams up with Brittany Quagan, a psychic-medium and therapist, to create the Yale COPE Project at the Yale University School of Medicine. Its mission is to understand clinically the extraordinary experiences of people who hear, see or experience things that other people do not. We talk about "voice hearing" experiences and how surprisingly common they are, the neuroscience of perception, and strategies to control psychic perceptions. The Yale COPE Project is currently looking for participants for an online research study of psychic perceptual experiences with the hopes of revolutionizing the medical and mental health field.
