Dream telepathy research with the Grateful Dead, people named Tainsch (and other things that vibrate), and a partially mummified corpse with pink teeth and pink nails — all of these turn up in this week’s Improbable Research podcast.

This week, Marc Abrahams tells about:
- Dream telepathy and the Grateful Dead. (“An Experiment in Dream Telepathy with ‘The Grateful Dead’,” Stan Krippner, Monte Ullman and Bob Van de Castle, Journal of the American Society of Psychosomatic Dentistry and Medicine, vol. 20, no. 1, 1973, pp. 9-17. More details about that. Featuring dramatic readings by Melissa Franklin.)
- Oscillating this and that. (Tainsh, Michael A. (1972). ‘Oscillation of Human Performance as a Personality Measure.’ Perceptual and Motor Skills 35 (2): 677–78. /
- Icky Cutesy Research Review. (“Descartes and the Gut: ‘I’m Pink Therefore I Am,’“ D.G. Thompson, Gut, vol. 49, no. 2, August 2001, pp. 165-6. /
The mysterious John Schedler or the shadowy Bruce Petschek perhaps did the sound engineering this week.
The Improbable Research podcast is all about research that makes people LAUGH, then THINK — real research, about anything and everything, from everywhere —research that may be good or bad, important or trivial, valuable or worthless. CBS distributes it, on the CBS Play.it web site, and on iTunes and Spotify).
