Does the brain inhibit naturally present psi abilities? A pre-proof article published by neuroscience journal Cortex suggests it does.

Neurologist Morris Freedman and his team had earlier documented that two adults who had experienced strokes that had damaged their frontal cortices were able to change the direction of an arrow on a computer screen solely by mental power, while people whose frontal lobes hadn’t been damaged couldn’t do that.
To study this phenomenon more broadly, Freedman developed a novel neurological model. When temporarily “shutting down” the frontal lobe with a form of reversed magnetic stimulation, a significant psi effect is found.
“Our findings are potentially transformative for the way we view interactions between the brain and seemingly random events”, Freedman et al write in the preprint study.
