EEG study hints at distinct brain patterns during Brazilian medium trances
21 July 2026
A small neuroscience study compared self-identified mediums in Brazil with matched non-mediums at prayer, finding distinctive EEG network shifts during spoken trance—inviting curiosity about altered states while underscoring key caveats.
What happens in the brain when someone says they are in a mediumistic trance? A new exploratory study, covered for general readers by PsyPost and published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, takes a careful step into that question. Researchers recorded the electrical rhythms of the brain using EEG and compared two groups of women in Brazil: self-identified mediums from Spiritist centers and matched non-mediums engaged in silent prayer. Rather than focusing on single brain spots, the team examined functional networks—the way different regions synchronize with one another across time.
When the mediums entered a spoken “psychophonic” trance, their brain networks shifted. The EEG showed heightened synchronization, particularly in the slower delta and theta frequencies. There were also changes to alpha-band connectivity focused in the left hemisphere, a region typically tied to language. By contrast, the control participants—who listened and prayed silently—did not display these same connectivity changes, showing only modest shifts in faster beta rhythms. The pattern suggests a distinct, non-pathological altered state of consciousness during the alleged mediumship experience, at least within the scope of this small sample.
It is fascinating to see language-linked networks reconfigure while a person speaks in trance, as if the usual scaffolding of expression is being used in an unusual way. Slow-wave synchronization can accompany deep focus, inwardness, and transitions in awareness—features many people recognize from meditation, prayer, or moments of profound intuition. The study does not define what consciousness “is,” nor does it validate any specific spiritual claim; instead, it gives us a rare, instrumented glimpse of how the brain might organize itself when people report stepping aside to let something speak through them.
Still, the authors and PsyPost highlight important cautions. The sample was small—28 women—and the trance condition involved active speaking and altered breathing, factors known to influence EEG signals. The equipment did not sample gamma activity, leaving a portion of the brain’s fast-band story untold. Replication is essential, ideally with designs that better match speech and respiration across groups, and with broader frequency coverage. These limitations do not negate the findings; they simply remind us that first looks should be followed by second and third ones.
Between curiosity and certainty, there is a meaningful middle ground: careful observation. Studies like this invite us to witness the architecture of experience without rushing to explain it away. Whether one thinks of mediumship as message, metaphor, or mystery, the data hint that the brain can enter a quietly remarkable mode—one that alters how networks talk to each other while a voice, somehow, talks through us.

Pet Psychic News Story – Pet Psychic Finds Lost Dog
A new story about how a pet psychic was able to find a lost dog is the latest phenomenon to hit the supernatural and psychic circle. Jaime Kalkowski lives in Springfield and always has her dog beside her. She treats her dog as her only child and has since been distraught since he has gone missing. Her hopes have been lifted by a pet psychic who said that her dog is still alive.
Sharon Pugh is a psychic medium from Georgia. She claims she is able to detect a lost dog’s energy and locate where the pet exactly is. She has given Jaime hopes that her psychic abilities will be able to help locate the dog. Sharon specializes in phone psychic readings.
KETV I reports that there is an abundance of pet psychics. The Internet is flooded with such ads promoting pet psychics and the Animal Planet has wholeheartedly embraced the existence of such an industry.
Plugh intimates that she uses her psychic abilities to locate lost pets. However she cannot guarantee that any lost pet can be located because she is limited only by the spirit that passes through her during a psychic session. She further says that the information she can give a pet owner is bound with what God, the Guardian Angels and her Spirit Guides allow her to give. These are the information her psychic abilities allow her to receive.
When asked about the situation of Jaime’s pet, Plugh’s psychic abilities reveal that the dog plunged into a body of water and was recovered by someone in a military uniform. She further reveals that the dog is still alive. This prediction has given Jaime a lot of hope of finally recovering her pet as she has already spent a fortune trying to locate her “child.”
