Ikuko Nagao and the 'thought photographs'
In 1910 Fukurai tested Ikuko Nagao of Marugame, who claimed to imprint images on sealed photographic plates by thought (nensha), which Fukurai called thoughtography.
1910 CE · 34.29, 133.80 · status: disputed
The account
A test was marred when the plate went missing from its box, and critics alleged fraud. Fukurai's continued support for psychics cost him his post at Tokyo Imperial University in 1913.
The sceptical view
The experiments were poorly controlled and never replicated; thoughtography is not accepted by science.
