People high in transliminality—a trait linked to magical thinking, paranormal belief, and creativity—show distinct patterns of resting brain activity compared to those low in transliminality. High-transliminality individuals had lower alpha, beta, and gamma power over the left posterior association cortex and lower high alpha, low beta, and gamma power over the right superior temporal region, but greater gamma power over the frontal-midline region. These differences align with patterns seen in schizotypy and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, supporting theories that altered brain asymmetries may predispose people to unusual experiences and beliefs.
