Founders of Modern Parapsychology with Sally Rhine Feather, PhD, Daughter of JB + Louisa Rhine, Founders of The Rhine Institute Episode 54
Sally Rhine Feather, Ph.D. who was born in 1930 is the eldest daughter of Joseph Banks (J.B.) and Louisa Rhine. They are often referred to as the founders of modern parapsychology. They founded what was the Duke Parapsychology Lab and is now the Rhine Research Center: Bridging the Gap between Science and Spirituality. Sally grew up in the early days and heart of parapsychological research. She participated in experiments as a child, met mediums such as Eileen Garret, and as she got older, she was a research assistant for her parents. She watched ESP studies, the launch of Zenar cards, studies on animals and more. She obtained a doctorate in experimental psychology from Duke University in 1967 and then went on to work at the Duke Parapsychology Lab as a research assistant. Her research topics included psi abilities of animals, correlation of memory and ESP performance, and help-hinder effects in a PK task. She later trained in clinical psychology at the University of North Carolina in 1969. She dedicated the next several decades to clinical psychology in mental health centers and her own private practice until she retired in 2004. She served on the board of directors at The Rhine, and in 2010 she received the 2010 Career Achievement Award from the Parapsychology Association. She has co-edited books on her parents' research. J.B. Rhine: (1895-1980) is considered to be the founder of modern parapsychology. He was originally a botanist before getting into psychology, joining the psychology department at Duke University. He then moved onto parapsychology and opened the Duke Parapsychology Lab. He was the "first to systematically apply experimental investigations in the field of psychical research." He developed experiments in ESP using Zenar cards, studies in precognition, ESP and worked with historic mediums such as Eileen Garret. He detected fraud but also got inexplicable results. He kept tight protocols and did fascinating ground-breaking research on ESP and Psychokinesis, adding to the solid body of evidence that our consciousness seems to behave non-locally. Louisa Rhine: (1891-1983) She collaborated with JB Rhine and developed innovative methods to study psi and ESP. Like J.B. Rhine she applied the scientific method to parapsychology. Her main focus was her collection of spontaneous cases. There are books on these cases she collected. According to Psi Encyclopedia, The Rhine's drew many conclusions such as, "Psi is non-physical, showing no association with brain localization, musculature, sex, age, ethnicity or health, is not mediated through the normal six senses, and is not limited by space or time.

Near Death Experiences (NDEs) in Children with Pediatrician Melvin Morse, M.D. Episode 52
Melvin L. Morse, M.D. is a medical doctor who specializes in pediatrics and has researched NDEs (near-death experiences) in children. He has authored several books and articles on paranormal science and near-death experiences in children, including the 1987 New York Times bestseller Closer to the Light, written jointly with Paul Perry, and with a foreword written by Raymond Moody. As a medical student, Dr. Morse always pursued his interests in consciousness research. During a neurology rotation at Johns Hopkins, he worked under the legendary Vernon Montcastle and cared for patients who had half their brains removed or split-brain surgery. He assessed the effects such surgery had on consciousness, his first understanding that consciousness does not depend on brain function. He attended lectures by the early pioneers of functional neurogenesis. This is the revolutionary concept that all thoughts and experience changes our brain and our brain is capable of repairing itself. Follow Dr. Melvin L.
