As an friend, and co researcher with Cleve in 1970, I can state that he did not measure any type of emission, but all his instrument was was basically a galvanic response meter. That is it measured resistance, and that resistance varied over time, and could be affected by thoughts, and the sudden death of brine shrimp, and even microbes in a drain when hot water was run into the sink.
