Institute for Living Body Measurements
(Bio-Emission Laboratory)
July 1, 2008

Institute for Living Body Measurements (Bio-Emission Laboratory) is one of laboratories of IRI which is a non-profit organization. Previous studies were done at Yamamoto Bio-emission Laboratory of the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS). Yamamoto Bio-Emission Laboratory was closed on March 31, 2005 because Dr. Mikio Yamamoto was retired. Then, we made the laboratory near NIRS. Our activities are supported by donation, competitive research budgets, and commission fees of measurements.

We have studied various unknown human potentials and phenomena since 1995. Our studies are focused on research on relatihonships between psychophysiological states and physical phenomena, and mechanisms of psi including external qi (wai-qi).


1. Research on Life Information
We have studied life information science which is focused on qigong, spiritual healing, anomalous somatic functions, extrasensory perception and pychokinesis. Results of our studies are presented at academic journals and conferences.


2. Measurement Service
Brain Blood Flow, fNIRS, Clairvoyance, Russian Psychic
We have instruments and techniques of measuring various physiological and physical factors; EEG (brain wave), EDA (electrodermal activity), PPG (photoplethysmogram), Respiration, Skin temperature, Thermograph, Aero ionized particles, RNG (random number generator), Flux gate magnetometer, Hall sensor magnetometer, electrostatic voltmeter, biophotons etc.
  • We have provided the measurement service for clients (companies or individuals).
  • We have studied on commission.
