Dear Jeffrey,

Thanks for your =nteresting emails. I don't know anyone else who thinks =bout these things!

I =gree that yawning transmission is an interesting question and have even designed experiments to try and test whether it =as a telepathic component in transmission. It clearly depends on people having a kind of bond within a group so I =hought of one test which would involve getting a group to bond through chanting =ogether, then introducing a partition between two halves of the group so they can =o longer see or hear each other, and film both groups to see whether =awning is correlated on different sides of the barrier. A control experiment would involve some groups who have not been bonded in the first place and did not know the people on the other side of the barrier. Of course it would be necessary to do it under conditions in which they are likely to yawn, so it could =appen late at night when they might be tired, or during the day with them =atching a very boring video in a hot and stuffy atmosphere.

I agree about the mystery =f sleep overall too, and sleep cycles.

The =ose irritation test could involve subtle mirroring, but might also involve some kind of telepathy, which =iterally means distant feeling. Again a barrier as in the yawning experiment might help to decide between these. But =his is a phenomenon that I've never noticed myself. I'll watch out for it.

All =he best

Rupert
