Extreme Physiology and Extrasensory Perception in Planarians

This summer, I am pursuing research in extreme physiological phenomena that cannot be explained by known biological mechanisms and attempting to replicate such phenomena using classical and non-classical systems. I will work with model organisms such as planarians, which have regenerative capabilities, and can be split into identical versions of themselves. I will design experiments with planarians to study their biological capabilities and communication.
