Abstract

The mediumistic art is a psychic phenomenon in which the subject appears to be possessed by an entity that guides the creation of an artwork. Until today it is preferred to classify this kind of creative performances as parapsychological or paranormal events calling them Channeling Phenomena. Through the study of some cases, we have analyzed the mediumistic art by a scientific point of view, classifying this psychic phenomenon as abnormal or anomalous manifestation of the human creativity, that in some neurophysiologically predisposed individuals emerges in an anomalous way.
