Kirlian photography is a collection of photographic techniques used to capture the phenomenon of electrical coronal discharges.

It is named after Semyon Kirlian, who, in 1939 accidentally discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is connected to a high-voltage source, an image is produced on the photographic plate.

Kirlian photography has been the subject of mainstream scientific research, parapsychology research and art.

The same year, Russian electrical engineer Semyon Kirlian and his wife Valentina developed Kirlian photography after observing a patient in Krasnodar hospital who was receiving medical treatment from a high-frequency electrical generator.

Kirlian photography was used extensively in the former Eastern Bloc.

The corona discharge glow at the surface of an object subjected to a high voltage electrical field is referred to as a Kirlian aura in Russia and Eastern Europe, however this should not to be confused with the paranormal concept of the aura.

Early in the 1970s, Thelma Moss and Kendall Johnson at the Center for Health Sciences at the UCLA conducted extensive research into Kirlian photography.

High voltage electrophotography soon became known to the general public as Kirlian Photography.

Kirlian photography is a technique for creating contact print photographs using high voltage.

The developed film results in a Kirlian photograph of the object.

Kirlian photography does not require the use of a camera or a lens because it is a contact print process.

Visual artists such as Robert Buelteman, Ted Hiebert, and Dick Lane have used Kirlian photography to produce artistic images of a variety of subjects.

Kirlian photography has been a subject of scientific research, parapsychology research and psuedoscientific claims.

Results of scientific experiments published in 1976 involving Kirlian photography of living tissue ( human finger tips ) showed that most of the variations in corona discharge streamer length, density, curvature and color can be accounted for by the moisture content on the surface of and within the living tissue.

In 1979, Antonov's Kirlian photography experiments generated data about the distribution of the electric field in the air gap between an object and the registering medium during corona discharge.

In 1968, Antonov photographed water droplets using black and white Kirlian photography.

Ignat Ignatov conducted Kirlian photography research using color film to examine the colors of corona discharges.

In 2010, Ignatov used color Kirlian photography to study droplets of different types of water.

Kirlian photography is used as an auxiliary method for Bulgarian scientists in research the properties of water.

She explored the growth of microbiological cultures using Kirlian photograph.

The coronal discharges identified as Kirlian auras are the result of stochastic electric ionization processes, and are greatly affected by many factors, including the voltage and frequency of the stimulus, the pressure with which a person or object touches the imaging surface, the local humidity around the object being imaged, how well grounded the person or object is, and other local factors affecting the conductivity of the person or object being imaged.

As a result of contact with Azathoth — the head of the mythos pantheon — the Shan developed the ability of Kirlian Phasing, allowing them to pass into the skulls and brains of organic life.

The fact that Kirlian photography can capture the acupuncture points of the body links the technology with concepts of prana, qi, bioplasma, and related ideas and theories.

A typical demonstration used as evidence for the existence of these energy fields involved taking Kirlian photographs of a picked leaf at set intervals.

Some effects thought to be paranormal, for example the effects of Kirlian photography ( thought by some to represent a human aura ), disappeared under more stringent controls, leaving those avenues of research at dead-ends.

During this time, other notable organizations were also formed, including the Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine ( 1970 ), the Institute of Parascience ( 1971 ), the Academy of Religion and Psychical Research, the Institute for Noetic Sciences ( 1973 ), and the International Kirlian Research Association ( 1975 ).

Gilmartin makes references to astrology, reincarnation, past life regression, and Kirlian aura ( page 15 ) to support his conclusions which reviewer Elizabeth Rice Allgeier felt " waters down the potential impact of his writings " in her book review for the Journal of Sex Research.

All of the tracks on this EP had been previously released on Kirlian Selections except for " Binedump ( Acidwolf Mix )".

On 26 April 1999, Kirlian Camera was drawn into the then-current sensationalism over Goth culture when they were off-handedly mentioned by social scientist Alfred Schobert in der Spiegel, in an interview printed as a sidebar to a 4-page newspaper feature on the Columbine High School shootings.

Kirlian believed that images created by Kirlian photography might depict a conjectural energy field, or aura, thought, by some, to surround living things.

Kirlian and his wife were convinced that their images showed a life force or energy field that reflected the physical and emotional states of their living subjects.

The images produced by Kirlian photography bear obvious resemblances to these graphics, showing a spiky-looking energy field extending a few inches around the human body ( as well as other biological specimens, like leaves, and objects like coins ).

* Kirlian Photography and the " Aura ", Dr. Rory Coker, Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Austin

Toward the end of her tenure at UCLA, Moss became interested in Kirlian photography, a technique that supposedly measured the “ auras ” of a living being.

Psychologist Thelma Moss devoted time to the study of Kirlian photography at UCLA's parapsychology laboratory.
