Psychic Mind Science

I am excited to be presenting at Beyond Wonderland, a 2-Day conference focused on psychedelics and technology (Oct. 13 and 14) in Austin, TX. There are still a few spaces available and I hope to see you there!

My talk:

No Molecules Required: Hacking Expanded States through Sensory Deprivation and Overload

Psychedelics are one doorway into non-ordinary consciousness, but there are others. This talk explores non-pharmacological pathways to expanded states, including profound sensory deprivation and deliberate sensory overload. From flotation REST to stroboscopic light, gong baths, breathwork, meditation, and Ganzfeld techniques, these modalities share some common neurological patterns despite the difference in methods used. Brainwave data will be presented showing striking similarities between the neural signatures of these states and those produced by classical psychedelics including alpha suppression, disruptions to the Default Mode Network, and increased brainwave entropy. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for understanding these tools as additional tools for therapeutic work, inner explorations, and preparation for psychedelic work.

Key Takeaways:

-Sensory deprivation and sensory overload share some neurologically convergent pathways to expanded states

-Floatation, stroboscopic light, breathwork, meditation, Ganzfeld, and gong baths produce measurable brainwave shifts that show similarities to psychedelic states.

-Alpha suppression, disruption of the Default Mode Network, and increased entropy appear to be common neural signatures across both pharmacological and non-pharmacological induction methods

-These modalities offer accessible, repeatable, and clinically controllable entry points for therapeutic and mind-expanding applications

-Stacking or sequencing non-pharmacological tools may potentiate or extend psychedelic sessions

It was so much fun moderating the Mindsee demonstrations and presenting our preliminary brainwaves data at the Psi Games. What an amazing group of people!

I have no idea what this building is, but I dig their vibe!

Check it out, I found a neuron sculpture! Can you guess which city I'm in?

I had so much fun teaching this workshop at the Art of Living retreat center and what an amazing group of people! The theme of the weekend was: get out of your left brain!

This transformative 6-week live, online course combines the latest neuroscience of psychic exploration with the expressive power of spirit art and creative practice. Join Dr. Tarrant and Maria Forland as they offer tools to support your curious mind and creative spirit.

The Science:
What is Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE)?
Audio-Visual Entrainment is a technique that uses precisely timed pulses of light (delivered through specialized eyesets) and sound (through headphones) to gently and safely guide the brain into targeted brainwave states. Research into the brain processes of psychics, mediums, and energy healers has shown consistent neurological patterns associated with these abilities — and AVE provides a reliable, accessible way to shift the brain toward those same states.

This course offers scientific research and AVE protocols specifically designed to target brainwave patterns linked to psychic skills like telepathy, clairvoyance, and energy healing and creative expression with Spirit.

The Spirit Art:
Spirit Art & Creative Exploration – Maria’s unique two-handed method supports unity of L R brain, enhancing neuroplasticity, creativity, and dimension for deeper spirit connection. Guided practices to express and interpret psychic impressions through image, color, and intuitive mark-making, facial construction, and vocabulary will be explored.

A simple yet deeply grounding method she developed called PEMS supports a bridge between the scientific and the sacred, guiding participants to trust and express the experiments with what arises through their hands and their hearts.

Experience:

*Spirit Art by Maria Forland

*Exclusive AVE Light & Sound Protocols – Designed specifically to stimulate altered states and enhance psi abilities.

*Real-Time Psychic Practice – Telepathy, clairvoyance, aura perception, and spirit communication exercises in group and break out rooms.

*Gently paced supportive environment – Classes are divided into two complementary halves: the first devoted to AVE-assisted psychic exploration — including research-based instruction, case studies, and structured AVE protocols — and the second half to creative practices and spirit art processes that give form and expression to what arises.

*Unique skill building techniques to access genuine psychic impressions and translate them into image, color, and symbols — working with automatic mark-making, intuitive composition, and the rich synesthetic language that connects feeling states to visual form.

*A Supportive Small Group Setting – Explore possibilities. Connect with like-minded participants and share your experiences, build confidence, and deepen your awareness to the synchronicities of daily living and grounded connection to inner wisdom. This is your touchstone to deeper peace and creative soul expression.

Just opened up a random number generator app for the first time in months. Not bad for being out of practice ;) (note the p value at the top of the screen).

For those of you unfamiliar, in the background of this software, it is generating zeros and ones completely randomly. You should end up with about a 50/50 split (think of someone flipping a coin 200 times). However, your attitude, focus and emotional state can influence the outcome. In this case, I had 113 ones and 87 zeros which was statistically significant (not likely due to chance).

Most people have had an experience they couldn't explain. A knowing that turned out to be right. A feeling about someone before the phone rang. A moment that made you wonder — what was that?

Science is now telling us those experiences aren't accidents. They're the result of specific brain states — and those states can be trained.
This June 5–7, I'm hosting Unlock Your Psychic Brain at the Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone, NC — a 3-day immersive workshop where we use the latest neuroscience research to understand, access, and develop your natural psychic and intuitive abilities.
You'll experience breathwork, energy sensing, telepathy practices, and group healing work — all in one of the most beautiful retreat settings in the country, with vegetarian meals and mountain trails included.

This is the workshop I wish had existed when I started asking these questions. I'd love for you to be there. 🙏

Unlock Your Psychic Brain Join Dr. Jeff Tarrant for a 3-day workshop blending neuroscience and intuition to activate psychic awareness, energy healing, and mind-matter mastery.

Join Dr. Jeff Tarrant, neuroscientist and founder of Psychic Mind Science, and Maria Forland, Spirit Artist-Medium, for an inspiring 90-minute FREE webinar exploring the intersection of brain science, creativity, and spirit communication.

Known for his engaging style, Dr. Tarrant will share what his research has revealed about the brain during mediumship and intuitive states. Drawing from qEEG studies, he will describe the patterns often seen when individuals shift into deeper, more receptive states of awareness. He will also introduce gentle, technology-supported approaches—such as audio-visual entrainment (AVE) and neurofeedback—that can help guide the brain into these states, supporting greater ease, openness, and emotional balance.

Maria Forland will then invite you into the world of Spirit Art, sharing her personal journey and unique two-handed drawing process. She will explore how art can become a meaningful bridge between worlds—offering comfort, healing, and a tangible sense of connection. Through her work, Maria demonstrates how creative expression can open intuitive channels while also supporting a more soulful, heart-centered way of living.

Together, Dr. Tarrant and Maria create a space grounded in both curiosity and compassion—where science and creativity come together to support deeper insight, healing, and spiritual connection. Whether you are a practicing psychic, artist, medium, or simply curious about expanding your awareness, this webinar offers a welcoming opportunity to explore new possibilities for intuitive development and creativity.

This free event will include teaching, experiential insights, and time for questions, allowing you to leave with both understanding and practical inspiration.

Once you register, you will receive a separate e-mail with the Zoom link. This webinar will be recorded, and all registrants will be e-mailed the YouTube link within 10 days of the event.
