The information is available in >photography and in "aura" literature. This sounds an awful lot like Kirlian photography. Is that what you are referring to? If so, it is not really a "recent" discovery. It has been around for about 20 years and has been shown to be a result of a gas corona produced by the electric charge which the whole apparatus is subjected to. >There is also a Tibetan Doctor named "tuesday (something or other)" >who claims to have had a hole poked into his brain by some monks in >order to enable him to see auras(owee) I seem to recall that there is supposed to be a Tibetan practice of drilling a hole in the head and inserting a probe into a particular brain area to stimulate some sort of spiritual or psychic awareness. It probably doesn't hurt much once you have pierced the skull. Brains don't have much in the way of sensory nerve endings located directly on it. I have never heard a case of anyone who had undergone such a procedure being tested under carefully controlled conditions, though.
