Susan Blackmore made a statement that does absolutely show bias.

No, Blackmore made an empirical and falsifiable claim about what you would expect to see in the brain wave patterns if Miss Z awoke and stood up and what Tart's own study supposedly showed. Again, that's not bias. That's science.

She is stating that the change in brainwave activity shows that she stood up. It does not necessarily mean that. She has stated an opinion not an absolute. It would have been better it there was a video camera in the room. However this was conducted in 1968. I am sure if it was reenacted today there would be a video camera present.

Also according to the diagram she could not stand up without being disconnected.
