***********************
About a century ago, experimenters introduced “mind reading” experiments which required physical contact between the demonstrator and a person serving as his subject. In simple form, such tests involved the finding of an object hidden in a place unknown to the demonstrator, but known to the subject, who in a sense mentally guided the demonstrator to his goal.
Skeptics soon argued that these demonstrations were not “mind reading” at all, but actually “muscle reading,” because the subject involuntarily exerted pressure on the demonstrator, thus pushing him along his way, or in some cases, restrained him. But as time went on the tests were greatly elaborated, and today skilled demonstrators of “contact teleplay” present experiments so complex that merely to term them “muscle reading” would be ridiculous.
