Michael Persinger, the Canadian psychology professor (Laurentian University, in Ontario) responsible for popularizing the 'God Helmet', died on August 14th of 2018. The nature of his work was well within the traditions of parapsychology, as the name of the device might immediately suggest to the reader. He was not too modest to publish work on quantum physics in vanity journals, for instance. However, he should at least be credited for producing research that invited the test of replication, rather than evading it, even though attempts to replicate his findings have failed to date.
