The Backster Effect
Talked about in the 'Secret Life of Plants'

Primary Perception
It started with plants, then went on to anything that could be electroded such as fruit, yogurt, meat, bacteria, then human cells.

"It was early in the morning and no other person was in the laboratory. My thought and intent was: 'I'm going to burn that leaf!' The very moment the imagery of burning that leaf entered my mind, the polygraph recording pen moved rapidly to the top of the chart! I then thought, "Gee, it's as though this plant read my mind!�"

I must state that, on February 2, 1966, at 13 minutes, 55 seconds into the chart recording, my whole consciousness changed."  more about Primary Perception
