I was checking out the interview on KMUD with Peat and the "On The Back Of A Tiger" directors, and Peat mentions a brother of his:
Andrew Murray: What do you have to say about Dr. Michael Persinger from your experience and/or your work? Where has he led you if anywhere in his journey?
RAY PEAT: Well, my interest in fields went way back. My brother was a radio ham and had lot of electronic equipment from, I guess, the age of nine or so had the opportunity to play with. And so the electrical properties of all of my acquaintances seeing how ageing had affected the conductivity and so on kept me constantly aware of the electrical magnetic properties of organisms. And in 1968, I went to Russia largely to talk to a man working in what he called a magnetobiology as opposed to biomagnetics. He concentrated on the effects of fields on organisms rather than the fields produced by the organism. And one of my very first experiments at the university after I got back was with a strong magnet that my brother made for me and looking at it’s effect on a crab nerve and I could see that just the presence of a strong magnetic field apparently affected interpreted it as affecting the structure of the water.
I thought that was an interesting piece of trivia because I recall he had mentioned his parents before in interviews.
EDIT: It also looks like he mentioned his brother in this newsletter: Moles, DHEA, Etc
"In his mid-50s, my brother mentioned that he was getting a mole-like spot on his forehead. When I told him about my experience, and that I thought oral DHEA might have been responsible for the mole's disappearance, he applied a concentrated solution of DHEA in vitamin E directly onto the mole. A day or two later, he noticed a spot of blood on his pillow, and had his doctor cut the thing off, because of fear that bleeding signalled a malignant change."
