Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
The first study (Stevens, 1997) looked at conscious responses to changes in 50 T magnetic fields (MF) at frequencies below 40 Hz, but found they did not appear to correlate with the field's presence. Feedback training attempts to improve accuracy were also unsuccessful. However, skin conductance (SC) levels showed an overall increase when any of the MFs were present. There were also suggestive trends indicating that the magnitude of MF-related SC increases was positively correlated to Field Dependency and success at rule-based pattern matching and negatively correlated to reports of previous ESP or PK experiences.
The second study (Stevens, 2001) investigated the idea that the emotion associated with visual stimuli would be altered during concurrent exposure to a MF (50 T, 20 Hz). Although in the predicted direction, neither SC nor arousal ratings showed statistically significant changes. The affective content rating did show a significant difference (p = 0.041), with images viewed under MF exposure having a more positive affect rating. Post-hoc analysis also showed individual differences in subjects' SC profiles, with 48% showing lower SC during MF exposure 34% showing no apparent reaction, and 17% shwoing an increased SC. Overall ratings given by each of the groups appeared to relate to these profiles.
Finally, data was also used in a third study (Stevens, 2000) which found an overall scale-invariant pattern in DMILS data that was comparable to that seen in the MF exposure data, possibly indicating similarities between DMILS and magnetic response mechanisms.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Previous study at the PEAR Laboratory has established a technology, protocol, and analytical strategy capable of assessing the degree of resonance prevailing in a broad variety of public and private group environments. Under this particular BIAL-sponsored project we have extended this work to include:
- development of an elaborate database management system capable of extracting many psychological and physical correlates of the anomalous effects appearing in such “FieldREG” experiments;
- formulation of theoretical hypotheses regarding the source of the effects and the conditions favoring their appearance and enhancement;
- design and implementation of a new generation of FieldREG equipment and software;
- acquisition of fresh experimental data to confirm and refine the theoretical models;
- investigation of possible pragmatic applications of the FieldREG effects in a variety of beneficial contexts.
Details of the experimental and analytical methods and the pertinent theoretical models are presented in our Interim and Final Reports, and in a number of archival articles that are downloadable from our website <www.princeton.edu/~pear/> (see especially items no. 26: “FieldREG Anomalies in Group Situations”; 28: “FieldREG II: Consciousness Field Effects: Replications and Explorations”; 40: “A Modular Model of Mind/Matter Manifestations (M5)”; 44: “Sensors, Filters, and the Source of Reality”; 6: “Endophysical Models Based on Empirical Data”; 7: “Consciousness, Information, and Living Systems”; and 5: “The PEAR Proposition”). The results of this project confirm that FieldREG responses, when produced in environments fostering relatively intense or profound subjective resonance among the participants, can show large deviations from chance expectations. Venues that appear to be particularly conducive include intimate gatherings, group rituals, ceremonies at sacred sites, musical and theatrical performances, and other charismatic events. Applications in certain aspects of allopathic and alternative medical diagnoses and treatment also display correlations with patient conditions and responses. In contrast, data generated in more mundane contexts, such as academic conferences or business meetings, show significantly less deviation from chance than expected theoretically or displayed in equipment calibrations. Thus, the FieldREG strategy holds high promise for further understanding of consciousness-related information fields and their beneficial utilization in a broad range of human endeavors. Extension of this work is planned.

Is environmental sensitivity relevant to understand parenting? Observational studies with mothers of young children

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Parents are everyday exposed to intense sensory and emotional stimuli. Hence, it is reasonable that the individual trait of Environmental Sensitivity (ES), capturing individual differences in sensitivity and responsivity to stimuli, holds important implications for parenting. Available evidence suggests that a higher sensitivity to stimuli in parents is mainly a risk factor, but studies are limited for the majority to self-report measures of parenting. Across two independent observational studies involving Italian parents, we investigated the role of ES in parenting during the first year of a child life. In Study 1 (N = 41 mothers and infants tracked from 3 to 9 months), a higher ES initially linked to slightly higher parental intrusiveness at 3 months but shifted to less intrusive behaviors by 9 months. No other ES-parenting associations emerged. In Study 2 (N = 55 mothers of children aged 3 months old), findings showed that a higher ES was associated with less attuned parenting behaviors and more parental stress only in the copresence of parental adverse childhood experiences, with a vulnerability effect. In the same sample, a higher ES was associated with more adaptive parental responses to the child, particularly when respiratory sinus arrhythmia, capturing physiological self-regulation, was higher. To conclude, ES was not related to worse parental competences, but rather it made mothers more receptive to environmental (adverse childhood experiences) and inner physiological (respiratory sinus arrhythmia) factors, for better and for worse. We discuss implications for parenting programs and new direction of studies.
