October 3, 2004: Plant Perceptions - Cleve Backster

Art Bell welcomes Cleve Backster , the pioneering researcher behind the "Backster Effect," to discuss his decades-long investigation into plant perception and biocommunication. Backster recounts his groundbreaking 1966 discovery, when a polygraph test on a plant produced tracings strikingly similar to human emotional responses, including reactions to mere thoughts of harm directed at the plant. The conversation covers Backster's expansion from plants to eggs, bacterial cultures, and human cells,...
