The heart appears to respond precognitively to emotional events, and able to discern whether or not an arousing stimulus is about to impinge upon the heart's owner. In the research study responsible for this conclusion, conducted at the Heart-Math Institute by Dr. Rollin McCraty, subjects sat in front of a computer screen that presented pictures at a steady rate. Randomly, at unannounced moments, the computer would display a very arousing picture, either erotic or morbid. The participants had their brain activity (EEG), as well as their heart activity (EKG), recorded during the experiment.
The data from these recording instruments, according to a report published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, showed that the heart anticipated the arousing pictures by approximately five seconds. Amazingly, the brain also responded, but slightly after the heart, as if the brain were responding to the heart and not to the about-to-be-presented stimulus.
Besides implicating the heart in psychic perception or intuition, it also shows that perception generally is not the exclusive province of the brain.
