Discovery Lab Answers

The retrieved sources give a partial picture of Göran Brusewitz’s work — they touch on several distinct threads without providing a comprehensive account of their full experimental results. Here is what the sources actually establish.

Göran Brusewitz — Research Threads

Twin physiological connectedness studies

The most substantively documented thread in the retrieved sources concerns experiments testing whether monozygotic (identical) twins show synchronous physiological responses when one twin is exposed to stimuli the other cannot see.

The London study ^[1] tested four pairs of monozygotic twins. The protocol exposed one twin to shock and surprise stimuli — five stimuli presented in random order, producing five trial blocks within a 25-minute session — while measuring physiological data from the other twin to look for synchronous responses. Brusewitz’s contribution to that study was participant recruitment: twin pairs were selected by him on the basis of subjective psi and synchronous experiences reported through an Emotional Experiences Questionnaire (EEQ), with selection criteria including frequent and diverse telepathic experiences ^[1]. The study adapted an earlier Copenhagen protocol to meet the ethical standards of the Department of Twin Research at King’s College and ABC News, and was supported by the BIAL Foundation ^[1].

The Greenwich PA/SPR joint meeting (2015) ^[5] records Brusewitz presenting a paper titled “An Experimental Study of Physiological Connectedness Among Twins in Relation to Attachment” — described in the conference summary as an experimental investigation of hypothetically present physiological connectedness among twins. The retrieved excerpt does not reproduce the paper’s quantitative findings.

The London study appears to build on an earlier Copenhagen study ^[1], suggesting a series of experiments in this paradigm, though the retrieved sources do not contain the Copenhagen results directly.

Other collaborative roles

Beyond his own experimental work, Brusewitz appears in the retrieved sources in several collaborative capacities:

• Haraldsson (2010) ^[4] acknowledges Brusewitz for “various help and suggestions” on a paper concerning Indridason’s and Swedenborg’s remote-viewing experiences — a historical and case-study analysis rather than an experiment.
• Nahm (2012) ^[2] records that Brusewitz communicated (via personal communication with Andersson, March 6, 2011) that von Reichenbach’s experiments had come to a researcher’s knowledge no earlier than spring 2010 — placing him as an informant within a historical review of Karl Ludwig von Reichenbach’s work on odic force.

Interpersonal context

Cardeña (2026) ^[3] includes an incidental reference in an in memoriam piece, noting that Brusewitz and Adrian Parker were described as having engaged in prolonged professional hostilities toward Cardeña over a period of more than ten years, beginning after a disputed appointment. This is biographical context from a third-party account, not a characterization of Brusewitz’s experimental work.

What the sources do not contain

The retrieved excerpts do not report the quantitative outcomes of the twin physiological connectedness experiments — no hit rates, z-scores, p-values, or effect sizes are present in the passages retrieved. The retrieved excerpts do not contain the results of the Copenhagen predecessor study. If you are looking for those figures, the retrieved excerpts do not show them and the primary papers would need to be consulted directly.
