The claims the writer was given for Jeff Tarrant, in the order they were given.

The Windbridge Institute EEG study of six mediums monitored the mediums' brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG) during four tasks: recollection (thinking about a living person known to the medium), perception (listening to information read about a person), fabrication (making up a fictitious person and thinking about them), and communication (communicating with a deceased person known to the medium).
“In a study in which we monitored the brain activity of six Windbridge Institute mediums using electroencephalography (EEG), we found differences for four tasks the mediums performed: recollection (think about a living person you know), perception (listen while I read you information about a person), fabrication (make up someone and think about him/her), and communication (communicate with a deceased person you know).”

The Windbridge Institute EEG study of six mediums concluded that the experience of communicating with the deceased may be a distinct mental state that is not consistent with brain activity during ordinary thinking or imagination.
“We concluded that “the experience of communicating with the deceased may be a distinct mental state that is not consistent with brain activity during ordinary thinking or imagination.””

In 2013, Jeff Tarrant began mapping the brains of psychics and certified mediums while they conducted readings.

Jeff Tarrant's brain-mapping study found that mediums consistently showed unusual brain-wave activity, sometimes including significant increases in fast activity in the back of the head, an area of the brain associated with visual processing, according to Tarrant's website.
“The mediums consistently showed unusual brain-wave activity, sometimes including “significant increases in fast activity in the back of the head—the areas of the brain associated with visual processing,” according to Tarrant’s website.”

Jeff Tarrant considers that his brain-wave data does not prove communication with the dead, but that it strongly suggests mediums enter a very different state of consciousness while engaged in their work, and that they do not simply appear to be faking.
“Of course, such data does not prove communication with the dead but “it does strongly suggest that mediums are entering a very different state of consciousness when they are engaged in their work. They do not simply appear to be faking—something interesting is definitely going on!” Tarrant writes.”

Jeff Tarrant compared scans of Laura Lynne Jackson's brain during a psychic reading, when she used living-agent psi, with scans taken during a mediumship reading when she engaged survival psi, to see whether her two described types of psi would register differently in her brain.
“He then decided to take his study of Laura’s process one step further, by comparing scans of her brain during a psychic reading—when she used her living-agent psi—with those taken during a mediumship reading when she engaged her survival psi. In other words, he wanted to see if what Laura described as her use of two distinct types of psi would actually register as different in her brain.”

Jeff Tarrant found applicable changes in the area of Laura Lynne Jackson's brain involved in visual processing, corresponding to her two distinct types of psychic reading.
“In fact, Tarrant did discover applicable changes in the area of the brain involved in visual processing.”

Jeff Tarrant found that one area of Laura Lynne Jackson's brain becomes active while she is receiving mediumship information and a different area becomes activated when she is involved in a psychic reading, matching Laura Lynne Jackson's own report that she sees psychic information in her left visual field and mediumship information in her right visual field.
“One area of the brain is becoming active while she is receiving mediumship information; the other area is becoming activated when she is involved in a psychic reading. Coincidentally—or not—Laura reports that she sees psychic information in her left visual field, and she sees mediumship information on her right visual field. Actually, that is exactly what we see on these brain images. So this appears to be confirmation of what Laura reports from her own experience.”

Jeff Tarrant's study does not prove that the difference between Laura Lynne Jackson's two brain states reflects communications from dead people, but Leslie Kean considers that it supports the survival hypothesis.
“This does *not* prove that the difference between these two brain states is that one involves communications from dead people. But one could argue that Tarrant’s study at least supports the survival hypothesis.”
