What did Ambach find in 2012?
I need to clarify what Ambach found, because the retrieved sources show work from 2008 and 2013, but the question asks about 2012.
The sources retrieved for this question include Ambach’s 2008 studies and a 2013 commentary, but do not contain a primary publication by Ambach from 2012 itself.
In 2008, Ambach published two empirical studies:
1. Correlations between EEGs of spatially separated subjects [2] — a replication study examining whether the electroencephalograms (EEGs) of two people in different locations show correlations, with analysis of sampling procedures and statistical methodology.
2. Gestalt perception and paranormal tendency [3] — an investigation into whether people who report paranormal experiences perceive visual stimuli differently, using Gestalt perception tasks and examining personality dimensions like absorption and fantasy proneness.
In 2013, Ambach published a commentary [1] in the Zeitschrift für Anomalistik (Journal of Anomalistics) discussing an unusual call for papers from Frontiers in Human Neuroscience in September 2012 for a special issue on “Nonlocal Mind,” and reflecting on why parapsychology research struggles to gain forum in mainstream science.
If you are asking about a specific 2012 finding or paper by Ambach, the retrieved sources do not contain it. You may want to check the Studies section or search the References page to locate a 2012 publication.
