I just did an Alta Vista search on "Michael Persinger". 196 articles. A great many of them appear to be connected to Paranormal stuff. I can't quickly determine whether Dr. Persinger has become involved with the paranormal or whether his research has been co-opted. This is a shame, because it looks like he started with some solid and reproducible experiments. I'll have to rely on someone like Susan Blackmore to sort this out. For example, look at:
