Seven years later in 1896, a French experimenter, H.
Baraduc, created electrographs of hands and leaves. In 1898, Polish-Belarusian engineer Jakub Jodko-Narkiewicz demonstrated electrography at the fifth exhibition of the Russian Technical Society. In 1939, two Czechs, S.

The conductors were energized by a high-frequency high-voltage power source, producing photographic images typically showing a silhouette of the object surrounded by an aura of light. In 1958, the Kirlians reported the results of their experiments for the first time.
In 1961, they published their first article on the subject in the Russian Journal of Scientific and Applied Photography.
The results failed to establish a relationship between human contact with the textiles and the corona discharge images and were considered inconclusive. ===Parapsychology research=== In 1968, Thelma Moss, a psychology professor, headed the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI), which was later renamed the Semel Institute.
Their work was virtually unknown until 1970, when two Americans, Lynn Schroeder and Sheila Ostrander, published a book, Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain.
Although little interest was generated among western scientists, Russians held a conference on the subject in 1972 at Kazakh State University. Kirlian photography was used in the former Eastern Bloc in the 1970s.
Scientific study of what the researchers called the Kirlian effect was conducted by Victor Inyushin at Kazakh State University. Early in the 1970s, Thelma Moss and Kendall Johnson at the Center for Health Sciences at the UCLA conducted extensive research into Kirlian photography.

Kirlian photographs have been used as visual components in various media, such as the sleeve of George Harrison's 1973 album Living in the Material World, which features Kirlian photographs of his hand holding a Hindu medallion on the front sleeve and American coins on the back, shot at Thelma Moss's UCLA parapsychology laboratory. The artwork of David Bowie's 1997 album Earthling has reproductions of Kirlian photographs taken by Bowie.

In 1975, Belarusian scientist Victor Adamenko wrote a dissertation titled Research of the structure of High-frequency electric discharge (Kirlian effect) images.
Claims that these energies can be captured by special photographic equipment are criticized by skeptics. ==In popular culture== Kirlian photography has appeared as a fictional element in numerous books, films, television series, and media productions, including the 1975 film The Kirlian Force, re-released under the more sensational title Psychic Killer.
The photographs, which show a crucifix Bowie wore his neck and the imprint of his "forefinger" tip, date to April 1975 when Bowie was living in Los Angeles and fascinated with the paranormal.
Moss led an independent and unsupported parapsychology laboratory that was shut down by the university in 1979. ==Overview== Kirlian photography is a technique for creating contact print photographs using [voltage].
The after photograph apparently shows a substantial increase in the "aura" around the crucifix and forefinger. ==See also== Bioelectromagnetism L-field List of topics characterized as pseudoscience Magnetic particle inspection (Magnaflux) Timeline of Russian innovation Walter Kilner Water (2006 film) ==Notes== ==References== ==Further reading== Becker, Robert and Selden, Gary, The Body Electric:Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life, (Quill/Williams Morrow, 1985) Krippner, S.

Roberts, who has worked with Kirlian imagery for over 40 years, published a portfolio of plant images entitled "Vita Occulta Plantarum" or "The Secret Life of Plants," first exhibited in 2012 at the Bakken Museum in Minneapolis, and currently being marketed to botanical gardens and galleries across the United States.
