Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Many people claim to have known who was calling before they picked up the telephone, or to have thought about someone for no apparent reason, who then called. We carried out a series of experiments to test whether or not people really could tell who was telephoning. Each participant had four potential callers, and when the telephone rang had to guess who was calling before the other person spoke. By chance the success rate would have been 25%. In a total of 571 trials, involving 63 participants, the overall success rate was 40%, with 95% confidence limits from 36 to 45%. This effect was hugely significant statistically (p = 4 x 10-16). We obtained similar positive effects when the calls were made at randomly chosen times, and when the calls were made at fixed times known to the subject in advance. With 37 participants, we compared the success rates with familiar and unfamiliar callers and found a striking difference. With familiar callers, 53% of the guesses were correct (n = 190; p = 1 x 10-16). With unfamiliar callers, only 25% of the guesses were correct, exactly at the chance level. This difference between the responses with familiar and unfamiliar callers was highly significant (p = 3 x 10-7). We also investigated the effects of distance between the callers and participants. With overseas callers at least 1,000 miles away, the success rate was 65% (n = 43; p = 3 x 10-8). With callers in Britain, the success rate was lower (35%). In most cases, the overseas callers were people to whom the participants were closely bonded. For the successful identification of callers, emotional closeness seemed to be more important than physical proximity.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The authors tested whether participants (N = 4) could tell who was calling before answering the telephone. In each trial, participants had 4 potential callers, one of whom was selected at random by the experimenter. Participants were filmed on time-coded videotape throughout the experimental period. When the telephone began ringing, the participants said to the camera whom they thought the caller was and, in many cases, also how confident they felt in their guesses. The callers were usually several miles away, and in some cases thousands of miles away. By guessing at random, there was a 25% chance of success. In a total of 271 trials, there were 122 (45%) correct guesses (p = 10-12). The 95% confidence limits of this success rate were from 39% to 51%. In most trials, some of the callers were familiar to the participants and others were unfamiliar. With familiar callers there was a success rate of 61% (n = 100; p = 10-13). With unfamiliar callers the success rate of 20% was not significantly different from chance. When they said they were confident about their guesses, participants were indeed more successful than when they were not confident.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
This study with the I Ching is the fourth in a series (N = 200). There are 64 readings corresponding to so-called “hexagrams”, and the P is asked to select 16 hexagram descriptor-pairs that match the statement “Lately, or right now, I feel . . .” The P then throws three coins six times to produce an outcome hexagram. If this outcome matches one of the 16 pre-selections, then the P makes a hit. A previous finding was replicated although it only approached significance. Exploratory analyses revealed no reliably significant correlations with the three psychopractic measures (i.e., 1st-hexagram hitting, 2nd-hexagram hitting, and changing lines), but there were a number of additional psychological correlates of transliminality.
Ps from the above study (n = 8) took part in an experiment using the ProComp+ neuro-feedback apparatus. Feedback on computer was given during normal and paranormal tasks switched at irregular intervals. During normal modes, Ps were required to keep EEG alpha rhythm above threshold, and/or integrated EMG amplitude below threshold, in order to elicit positive feedback. During paranormal modes, a single frame from the animation was presented, which did not change regardless of alpha and/or EMG amplitudes. It was hypothesized that (i) video anomalies occur during paranormal modes, and (ii) EEG alpha amplitude is higher, and/or integrated EMG amplitude is lower during paranormal modes. Previous meditation and biofeedback experience had no effect on EEG alpha amplitude or EMG. Some participants showed evidence of waveform training. Transliminality correlated with alpha and EMG in the hypothesized directions, but only approached significance in the Transliminality/alpha correlation.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
The one “star” participant from an earlier study was asked to contribute 100 trials over a relatively long (3 months) time. All data were logged and saved for later analyses.
We could consider this study as a 100 trial, single bit pseudo random number generator experiment. That is, one half of the available sequence lengths were 0.5 and half were larger. From this perspective the single participant produced 60 sessions with a selected hit rate greater than 0.5 (Binomial p = 0.0284, effect size = 0.190). We also computed the z-score for excess binary ones above the generator bias (z = 1.60, p = 0.055, effect size = 0.160).
We conclude, therefore, that this participant produced strong evidence of PSI in this study, and we have a definitive test of the entropy hypothesis.
Although there was significant evidence for pseudo random number generator PSI, the participant’s ability was not dependent upon either the gradient of the underlying binary sequence or the gradient of the entropy of the feedback display.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
This project describes an attempt to apply a new psi effect, called presentiment or pre-stimulus response (PSR), to produce a reliable time reversed communication channel. In the original PSR protocol single subjects were exposed to randomly timed and chosen stimuli, either audio startles or silent controls. Skin conductance responses (SCR) were measured in the few seconds prior to the stimuli. The frequency of such responses was observed to be significantly higher in pre-audio as opposed to pre-control epochs (Spottiswoode & May, 2003). One interpretation of this result is that the audio stimuli caused subjects to have an SCR in the seconds preceding the startling stimulus. For each stimulus the probability of a subject’s showing a preceding SCR is quite low, however by using many subjects simultaneously it is possible to count SCR’s across the group and statistically determine whether the upcoming stimulus will be an audio or control, thus realising a retro-causal communication channel.
Six trials were performed with between 15 and 52 subjects in each. However the PSR effect did not replicate in the group setting. A total of 219 subjects contributed data and the observed per subject effect size of 0.0163 was significantly smaller than that observed, 0.106, in the single subject PSR trials. Many possible reasons exist for the failure to see the same effect with multiple as with single subjects: the changed setting of the subjects, differences in the subject population, or the possibility that the original single subject PSR results were due to an experimenter effect similar to the mechanism described in Decision Augmentation Theory (May, E. C., Spottiswoode, S. J. P., Utts, J. M., and James, C. L. 1995).. This last notion has been supported by some post hoc analyses by this author.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Many people have found that they think of someone for no apparent reason, and shortly afterwards receive a telephone call or an email from that person. In tests on telephone telepathy, during my previous Bial Foundation Bursary, I found that people really could anticipate who was about to call them. My Research Associate Pam Smart and I have now completed more than 500 email telepathy tests, following a similar design to the telephone telepathy tests. Each subject has four potential emailers some of whom are familiar and nominated by the subject, while others are unfamiliar. For each test, the emailer is selected at random by the experimenter.
As in the telephone telepathy experiments there is a one in four chance of the subject guessing correctly at random. Hence the mean chance expectation of success is 25%. In an initial series of 552 trials, we tested 50 participants. The hit rate was 43%, very significantly above the mean chance expectation of 25% (p=1x10– 20). The 95% confidence limits of the success rate were from 39% to 47%.
We then tested five participants under more rigorous conditions in which they were filmed continuously. In 150 filmed trials, the hit rate was 47 (p=1x10– 9).
In some of our trials the emailers were more than 10,000 kilometres away from the participants with no sign of any decline owing to distance.
An on-line version of the email telepathy experiment is now available on my website www.sheldrake.org.
I have continued with my research on the sense of being stared at and have written an extensive review of the evidence and also a paper on its theoretical implications, due to appear in a special issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies in the summer of 2005.

Experimental tests for telephone telepathy
Publication year: 2003
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Many people claim to have known who was calling before they picked up the telephone, or to have thought about someone for no apparent reason, who then called. We carried out a series of experiments to test whether or not people really could tell who was telephoning. Each participant had four potential callers, and when the telephone rang had to guess who was calling before the other person spoke. By chance the success rate would have been 25%. In a total of 571 trials, involving 63 participants, the overall success rate was 40%, with 95% confidence limits from 36 to 45%. This effect was hugely significant statistically (p = 4 x 10-16). We obtained similar positive effects when the calls were made at randomly chosen times, and when the calls were made at fixed times known to the subject in advance. With 37 participants, we compared the success rates with familiar and unfamiliar callers and found a striking difference. With familiar callers, 53% of the guesses were correct (n = 190; p = 1 x 10-16). With unfamiliar callers, only 25% of the guesses were correct, exactly at the chance level. This difference between the responses with familiar and unfamiliar callers was highly significant (p = 3 x 10-7). We also investigated the effects of distance between the callers and participants. With overseas callers at least 1,000 miles away, the success rate was 65% (n = 43; p = 3 x 10-8). With callers in Britain, the success rate was lower (35%). In most cases, the overseas callers were people to whom the participants were closely bonded. For the successful identification of callers, emotional closeness seemed to be more important than physical proximity.

Videotaped experiments on telephone telepathy

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The authors tested whether participants (N = 4) could tell who was calling before answering the telephone. In each trial, participants had 4 potential callers, one of whom was selected at random by the experimenter. Participants were filmed on time-coded videotape throughout the experimental period. When the telephone began ringing, the participants said to the camera whom they thought the caller was and, in many cases, also how confident they felt in their guesses. The callers were usually several miles away, and in some cases thousands of miles away. By guessing at random, there was a 25% chance of success. In a total of 271 trials, there were 122 (45%) correct guesses (p = 10-12). The 95% confidence limits of this success rate were from 39% to 51%. In most trials, some of the callers were familiar to the participants and others were unfamiliar. With familiar callers there was a success rate of 61% (n = 100; p = 10-13). With unfamiliar callers the success rate of 20% was not significantly different from chance. When they said they were confident about their guesses, participants were indeed more successful than when they were not confident.

The need for open-minded scepticism: A reply to David Marks
Publication year: 2003

http://www.skeptic.org.uk/shop/16-4
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Following David Marks' article on the subject of unseen staring and the ESP ability of pets (see The Skeptic 16.3), we now hear Rupert Sheldrake's radical views on these topics. Needless to say, Marks and Sheldrake vehemently disagree. For example, Sheldrake thinks that not only is the claim that people - and animals - can tell when they are being stared at by unseen others true, but that it may have an evolutionary basis, because prey animals that could detect when a predator is looking at them would have a better chance of survival than animals that did not. Do Sheldrake's and Marks' fundamental differences of opinion derive from the different disciplines they trained in? Is it possibly the case that Sheldrake is even more sceptical than the sceptics? Whatever the answers to these questions are, Sheldrake is certainly a stern iconoclast.

A filmed experiment on telephone telepathy with the Nolan sisters
Publication year: 2004
URL:
http://www.academia.edu/5587992/A_FILMED_EXPERIMENT_ON_TELEPHONE_TELEPATHY_WITH_THE_NOLAN_SISTERS
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Apparent telepathy in connection with telephone calls is common. Many people say that they have known who was calling when the phone started ringing, or that they have thought of someone for no apparent reason, and that person called soon afterwards (Sheldrake, 2000, 2003; Brown & Sheldrake, 2001).
Is this just a matter of coincidence? Sheldrake & Smart (2003 a, b) have developed a simple experimental procedure for testing whether people really can tell who is calling, under conditions in which they could not know by any "normal" means. A participant receives a call at a prearranged time from one of four potential callers. He or she knows who these callers are. The experimenter chooses the caller at random by throwing a die, and then tells the caller that he or she has been chosen to call at a given time in the near future.
When the telephone rings the participant has to say who is calling before picking up the receiver. These tests are, of course, carried out using telephones without caller identification systems.
By chance, if telepathy played no part, the success rate would be about 1 in 4, or 25%. In fact in a total of more than 850 trials involving a 65 participants, the average success rate was 42% (p= 1x10-26) (Sheldrake, 2003).
The present experiment was carried out in an attempt to replicate the telephone telepathy phenomenon for a television show called "Are You Telepathic?" made by 20/20 Productions and broadcast in the UK on Channel Five Television on June 19, 2003. The participant and her four callers were sisters, who had for years worked together in a girl band, the Nolan Sisters, popular in the UK in the 1980s.
In most of the previous trials, the callers were in different locations from each other and were not filmed. But in one previous experiment, all four callers were in the same location, and the callers as well as the participant were filmed continuously. In that test, carried out in Wakefield, Yorkshire, the participant was 1.5 km away from the four callers. She guessed correctly in 8 out of 17 trials (47%; p = 0.04) (Sheldrake & Smart, 2003a). The present experiment followed the same design as the Wakefield test.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Telepathy has been investigated scientifically for more than 100 years, but its existence is still controversial. Some people believe telepathy and other forms of "extrasensory perception" (ESP) or psi are impossible in principle (e.g., Humphrey, 1995).. Hence, they suggest that all the evidence for telepathy must be flawed and should be treated with extreme skepticism. Others regard the question as empirical. Maybe telepathy really occurs, even if the means by which it operates is not yet understood. Its existence or nonexistence is not a matter of belief but of evidence (e.g., Henry, 2005). Meanwhile, many people claim that they themselves have had telepathic experiences, and several surveys have shown that a majority of the population thinks telepathy exists (Gallup & Newport, 1991; Blackmore, 1997; Sheldrake, 2003). Skeptics usually dismiss all personal experience as unreliable. Only experimental evidence counts.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Most people have had the experience of turning round feeling that someone is looking at them from behind, and finding that this is the case. Most people have also had the converse experience. They can sometimes make people turn around by staring at them. In surveys in Europe and North America, between 70% and 97% of the people questioned said they had had personal experiences of these kinds (Braud et al., 1990; Sheldrake, 1994; Cottrell et al., 1996).

History:
The BIAL Foundation was created in 1994 by Laboratórios BIAL in conjunction with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities. BIAL’s Foundation mission is to foster the scientific study of Man from both the physical and spiritual perspectives.
Along the years the BIAL Foundation has developed an important relationship with the scientific community, first in Portugal and after worldwide. Today it is an institution of reference which aims to stimulate new researches that may help people, promote more health and contribute to new milestones to gain access to knowledge.
Among its activities the BIAL Foundation manages the BIAL Award, created in 1984, one of the most important awards in the Health field in Europe. The BIAL Award rewards both the basic and the clinical research distinguishing works of major impact in medical research.
The BIAL Foundation also assigns Scientific Research Scholarships for the study of neurophysiological and mental health in people, arousing the interest of researchers in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
To date the BIAL Foundation has supported 461 projects, more than 1000 researchers, with research groups in twenty-seven countries, resulting, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, out of which 172 published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Since 1996 the BIAL Foundation organizes the Symposia entitled "Behind and Beyond the Brain", a Forum that gathers well renowned neurosciences speakers and the BIAL Foundation Fellows which are spread around the world.
Classified as an institution of public utility, the BIAL Foundation includes among its patrons the Portuguese President, the Portuguese Universities Rectors' Council and the Portuguese Medical Association.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
For the purpose of this discussion, I am taking it for granted that the sense of
being stared at is real. The weight of available evidence seems to support its factual
existence, as discussed in my earlier article in this issue of the Journal of
Consciousness Studies. Some people will dispute this conclusion, and there is as
yet no universal consensus. But it is not necessary for everyone to agree that a
phenomenon exists before discussing its possible implications. A discussion of
the implications of evolution began long before everyone agreed that evolution
had occurred, and there are still people who deny its reality.
The sense of being stared at implies that looking at a person or animal can affect
that person or animal at a distance. An influence seems to pass from the observer to
the observed. The sense of being stared at does not seem to fit in with theories that
locate all perceptual activity inside the head. It seems more compatible with theories
of vision that involve both inward and outward movements of influence.
In order to see the present situation in perspective, it is helpful to look at the
history of the long-standing debate about the nature of vision. Inward or intromission
theories have always tended to regard vision as passive, emphasizing the
entry of light into the eye. Outward or extramission theories have always emphasized
that vision is active. Combined theories accept that vision has both active
and passive aspects.
I start with a brief overview of the history of theories of vision. I then discuss
how this debate is continuing today, and examine how the different theories
might relate to the sense of being stared at. I summarize my own hypothesis that
the sense of being stared at depends on perceptual fields that link the perceiver to
that which is perceived. These fields are rooted in the brain, but extend far
beyond it. I conclude by examining aspects of quantum theory that imply twoway
interconnections between observers and observed.
