Introduction
The purpose of this research project is to obtain objective experimental data to validate the author’s intelligent tissue theory on what acupuncture is and how it works.
This page lists the methods and equipment used in the experiments; and also provides links to datasets from selected experiments. The research is ongoing. Analysis of some of the data has already been published, and other papers are still in preparation.
