Cleve Backster was an interrogation specialist for the CIA, noted for his unique experiments with plants using a polygraph in the 1960s. He developed a theory called primary perception, suggesting that plants possess feelings and extrasensory perception (ESP). Backster's controversial claims attracted significant media attention at the time but have since been dismissed by the scientific community. His work sparked interest in the potential for plant consciousness and the study of non-verbal communication in living organisms.
