The relationship between local geomagnetic activity and psychic awareness
Publication year: 2014
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
There is evidence that psychic experiences are related to geomagnetic activity (GMA). However, sometimes these are related with higher, and sometimes with lower, GMA. This anomaly may be clarified by studying local GMA. In order to explore this, a 4-year investigation was conducted. Unfortunately, solar activity and GMA were at their lowest for 100 years, so it was necessary to combine the preliminary and follow-up study data. Both studies used the same free-response design. The 26 participants, all of whom resided at, or near, Samye Ling Tibetan Centre, had practiced meditation for at least 10 years. Each participant completed a minimum of eight sessions each year. Three questionnaires and one psychological test were completed. Geomagnetic measurements were supplied by the British Geological Survey’s observatory located near Samye Ling. There was no difference between sessions conducted during high or low band 1, or high or low band 3 GMA, but post-hoc analyses suggested a band 3 GMA effect. Overall, males’ psi scores were significantly negative (p = .02, two-tailed), whereas females scored at chance; the difference was significant (p = .03). The participants with the highest temporal lobe questionnaire scores showed the strongest correlation of psi with GMA (p = .06).

How to remove the influence of expectations bias in presentimento and similar experiments: A recommended strategy
Publication year: 2014
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Here we reconsider expectation bias in so-called presentiment experiments, with focus on how to handle it. In such experiments, presentiment is usually thought to be demonstrated by showing that significant physiological differences precede stimuli presumed to give rise to different arousal levels. Often these differences suggest that physiological arousal is more likely to precede arousing rather than calming stimuli. Conceivably, however, such reactions can be explained as resulting from expectation bias of the gambler’s fallacy type. This bias is based on the (false) notion that the likelihood of an arousing stimulus being presented grows as the number of consecutive calming stimuli increases. Different ways of controlling or avoiding the bias are discussed. Our resulting recommendation is to use analysis of variance (ANOVA) to separate the effect of the bias from the hypothetical presentiment effect, preferably at the trial-by-trial level. We also recommend applying ANOVA to each participant separately and using a “counting” method to test for possible presentiment effects at the group level. Application of ANOVA is illustrated using a simulated example. We anticipate ANOVA can handle not only the gambler’s fallacy bias but also similar biases, in presentiment experiments as well as in some conscious precognition experiments.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Distinct physiological changes preceding upcoming randomly selected arousing (vs. calm) stimuli have been analysed statistically, and it appears these effects are replicable (Mossbridge et al. 2012). Here we call these changes “presentiment” or predictive anticipatory activity or “PAA.”
AIMS
1) Investigate how critical factors influence PAA, and 2) Create pattern-classification software that an individual can use to predict a future emotional event.
METHODS & RESULTS:
We completed three sets of experiments addressing these aims. Results from two EEG studies (experiment set 1) indicated that the alpha phase preceding upcoming stimuli predicts the motor response to those stimuli, an effect that seems to be difficult to isolate topographically using scalp electrodes. Results from two single-trial paradigms performed in the laboratory (experiment set 2) indicated that paradigms in which the delay between the onset of the trial and the stimulus is the same across all participants are most likely to show strong presentiment effects and that heart rate may be a better predictor of upcoming events than skin conductance. Finally, using smartphones to record heart activity in 300 people before either winning or losing $2 (experiment set 3) resulted in a replication of a significant gender difference in presentiment responses, similar to that described in Mossbridge et al. (2012).
CONCLUSIONS
Single-trial presentiment experiments facilitated by smartphone apps should help reduce noise sources in presentiment experiments. Gender, age, and arousal level of the reward are factors that we plan to vary to determine how they influence presentiment.

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).

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The small effect sizes typically observed in laboratory studies of parapsychological phenomena can potentially be statistically amplified by gathering large amounts of data online. However, online protocols for data collection have several problems, including data integrity and optional stopping, and these problems compromise the quality of the collected data. To overcome these problems, we proposed to create a well-controlled and authenticated mobile app for smartphone and tablet platforms. We dubbed this effort “PsiQ” – making the analogy with intelligence quotient (IQ) tests. PsiQ was released and is available for free on the iOS platform for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch on June 12, 2017. To date it has been downloaded more than 2000 times from the app store, at this link: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1196948825. A preliminary analysis reveals that all three games, tests of psychokinesis, conscious precognition, and unconscious precognition, show significant effects related to gender and age. Here we briefly describe each portion of PsiQ, our outreach and dissemination efforts related to the app, some preliminary data obtained from PsiQ, as well as future possibilities for the app.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Prospection, the act of attempting to foresee one’s future, is generally assumed to be based on conscious and nonconscious inferences from past experiences and anticipation of future possibilities. Most scientists consider the idea that prospection may also involve influences from the future to be flatly impossible due to violation of common sense or constraints based on one or more physical laws. We present several classes of empirical evidence challenging this common assumption. If this line of evidence can be successfully and independently replicated using preregistered designs and analyses, then the consequences for the interpretation of experimental results from any empirical domain would be profound.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This precognition study builds on previous research suggesting that free-response protocols with subject-optimization procedures produce higher psi-scores than protocols with no such procedures. Our study aimed to assess the value of optimisation procedures when coupled with a forced-choice protocol, involving multiple trials per session. A second objective was to assess whether trial-by-trial feedback improves scoring over no-feedback conditions.
A pre-set total of 3000 binary choice trials were collected over a 7-week period, from 82 participants, including 26 experienced meditation practitioners. Each participant contributed 20 or 40 trials, based on pre-set scoring criteria. The task was set in an immersive environment coupled with a display of spheres emerging out of an animated starfield. For each trial, subjects had to guess which spheres contained an image; the program would then randomly determine whether or not it indeed contained the image, and whether or not feedback would be shown. For hits, a face would emerge and grow, staring directly at the participant, while for misses it withdrew into the starfield; for no-feedback trials it faded out with no hit/miss information.
Overall results were nonsignificant. Secondary analyses revealed some encouraging trends.
1. When examined across all 150 20-trial series, results show a significant within-series incline in scoring (p=.04, two-tailed), suggesting participants may have progressively found strategies to improve scoring.
2. While not attaining significance (p=0.1 two-tailed), scoring in feedback trials was superior to no-feedback trials; this may suggest that feedback can be useful for learning
3. The 26 meditators' scores were suggestively high (p=.09, one-tailed), while the 14 most experienced meditators showed a significant effect (p=.012, one-tailed).
While overall results were not significant, the finding of a within session incline effect suggests that multiple-trial immersive protocols may help improve psi scoring over time. At the same time, results also suggest that future optimization research should focus on promising subpopulations, like meditators, rather than unselected volunteers.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In a previous research project, we presented a telepathy study which we hoped would be both psiconducive and efficient in terms of data-collection; it involved coupling a multiple trial forcedchoice protocol with participant optimization procedures involving immersive hardware and software. Overall results were not significant, though they did show significant variability, possibly suggesting a combination of psi hitting and psi missing.
The current exploratory study is broadly inspired by the previous one, but introduces several improvements in the optimization procedures, as well as a shift from a dyadic-subject approach, to a single-subject protocol focused on precognition. This shift was motivated in large part by the rather positive track record of recent precognition research – as witnessed by physiologically based presentiment studies, and by the reverse-causality social psychology studies recent introduced by Daryl Bem. We thus decided to opt for a single-subject precognition protocol, both because it is comparatively easier to implement than telepathy protocols, and because it seems promising in terms of replicability.
A second, more process-oriented objective for this study, was to better grasp the role of feedback in multiple-trial psi tasks. Both theoretical and psychological reasoning would suggest that trial-by-trial feedback should contribute to scoring, either by injecting outcome information into earlier choices (according to a retro-causal model), or by helping subjects to zero in on productive mental strategies as they proceed through an experimental session. On the other hand, as some subjects in our previous study indicated, it may be that trial-by-trial outcome information induces stressful, performance-oriented mindset, offsetting the learning gains that might come with feedback. Thus, as part of our objective of producing a multi-trial psi-conducive protocol, we sought to assess feedback vs. non-feedback scoring under motivationally equivalent conditions.
Finally, this study was also intended to provide us with an empirical effect-size estimate, which in turn would allow us to specify power requirements for future replications. A pre-set total of 3000 binary choice trials were collected from 82 subjects over a 7-week testing period, each subject contributing either 20 or 40 trials, in accordance with pre-set criteria. 26 of these subjects were known to be regular meditation practitioners, invited by one of us (PAB) who is affiliated with a local Buddhist center. All subjects were tested either by MV or PAB at the Institute Métapsychique in Paris, using a specially constructed immersive environment and audio-visuel sequences used for the psi task. The task consisted of selecting and opening spherical image containers that emerged out of a hypnotic animated starfield. Following the subject’s choice, a binary random decision would decide whether the subject would obtain a miss or a hit, and whether the hit-miss feedback would be shown. A hit resulted in the emergence of the portrait of an animal, or an interesting or famous personality staring directly at the subject and growing in size. Misses were
associated with a noisy withdrawal of the sphere back into the starfield and no-feedback produced a simple fadeout of the sphere container.
The results for the 3000 trials were non-significant. The overall hit rate came in at null expectation (50.1%), and although feedback trials did have a higher hit rate than no-feedback trials (51% vs. 48.6%) the t-score for the difference was only 1.29 (one-tailed P-value=0.10). Nevertheless, these results, as well as several exploratory analyses, suggest directions for further
study. First, the difference between feedback and no-feedback hit rates indicates that a 0.05-level replication at 80% power could be achieved with only a modest increase in the number of trials. A positive replication would encourage the idea that feedback may be useful to subjects, provided it does not disrupt the “flow” state and induce a performance mindset.
Second, hit rates tended to increase over the course of a 20-trial series. A regression of trialordered hit rates found higher hit rates for later trials (P-value=0.04, two-tailed). In other words, subjects may have progressively found a mental strategy or a state that produced better scoring, which would accord with subject responses in a post-session questionnaire, where 89% agreed “scores would improve with continued training”.
Finally, the 26 Buddhist meditators had a group hit rate of 52.1% (one-tailed P-value=0.09) and the subgroup judged to be the most experienced had a hit rate of 54.7% (one-tailed P-value=.012). This finding contributes to the growing literature that suggests that experienced meditators are particularly good subjects for psi research. We are thus planning to follow up with our protocol this year, focusing more specifically on an experienced-meditator population. We would like to express our deep gratitude to the Bial Foundation for its support of the Selfield project.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Empirical reports in mainstream journals that human cognition extends in ways that challenge the current boundaries of science (anomalous cognition) has been viewed with dismay by many who see it as evidence that science is broken. Here the authors make the case for the value of conducting and publishing well-designed studies investigating anomalous cognition. They distinguish between the criteria that justify entertaining the possibility of anomalous cognition from those required to endorse it as a bona fide phenomenon. In evaluating these 2 distinct thresholds, the authors draw on Bayes’s theorem to argue that scientists may reasonably differ in their appraisals of the likelihood that anomalous cognition is possible. Although individual scientists may usefully vary in the criteria that they hold both for entertaining and endorsing anomalous cognition, we provide arguments for why researchers should consider adopting a liberal criterion for entertaining anomalous cognition while maintaining a very strict criterion for the outright endorsement of its existence. Grounded in an understanding of the justifiability of disparate views on the topic, the authors encourage humility on both the part of those who present evidence in support of anomalous cognition and those who dispute the merit of its investigation.

Cross-examining the case for precognition: Comment on Mossbridge and Radin (2018)
Publication year: 2018

http://psycnet.apa.org/record/2018-13946-005
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Based on a review and meta-analyses of empirical literature in parapsychology, Mossbridge and Radin (2018) argued for anomalous replicable effects that suggest the possibility of precognitive ability or retrocausal phenomena. However, these conclusions are refuted on statistical and theoretical grounds—the touted effects are neither meaningful, interpretable, nor even convincingly replicable. Moreover, contrary to assertions otherwise, the possibility of authentic retrocausation is discredited by modern theories in physics. Accordingly, Mossbridge and Radin’s interpretations are discussed in terms of misattribution biases that serve anxiolytic functions when individuals confront ambiguity, with potential reinforcement from perceptual–personality variables such as paranormal belief. Finally, we argue that research in human consciousness should be multidisciplinary, and notably, leverage informed investigators in the physical sciences to advance truly valid and cumulative theory building.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author Theresa Cheung joins forces with cognitive neuroscientist Julia Mossbridge, PhD, Director of the Innovation Lab at The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). Together they reveal revolutionary new research showing that sensing the future is possible, they also provide practical tools and techniques you can use to develop your own powers of precognition.
Precognition is the scientific name for the knowledge or perception of the future, obtained through extrasensory means. Often called 'premonition', precognition is the most frequently reported of all extrasensory perception (ESP) experiences, occurring most often in dreams. It may also occur spontaneously in waking visions, auditory hallucinations, flashing thoughts entering the mind, the sense of "knowing" and physiological changes. Combining science and practice, Theresa and Dr Julia unravel the mystery of precognition. The book will cover:
• What precognition is and the different types, clearly explaining the cutting-edge science, including what is known and what is still a mystery
• The most common premonitions that people experience and why, including examples from around the world
• Experimental tools to help you cultivate precognition experiences to help get useful information for your life
• Case studies included throughout, with supporting scientific evidence offered alongside to provide validation and explanation
• Personal experiences of the authors, detailing how premonition has shaped their lives and interviews with leading scientists and experts in the field

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
We report an exploratory forced-choice precognition study based on a protocol that utilized an immersive audiovisual environment to induce a psi-conducive state in participants. Our objective was to assess whether this optimization setup would help produce significant psi results with an unselected population. We also sought to assess whether trial-by-trial feedback would produce superior scoring to no-feedback trials. For each trial, participants selected an opaque graphical sphere that they felt contained a facial image (as opposed to being empty). After selection, the program randomly determined whether the sphere would be empty or not, and whether feedback should be shown. A preset total of 3000 binary choice trials were collected from 82 participants. Each participant contributed either 1 or 2 20-trial series, based on preset scoring criteria. The total hit rate of successful trials was 50.1%, close to expectation under the null hypothesis of no psi effect. Hit rates for feedback and no-feedback trials were in the predicted direction (51.0% vs. 48.6%). A post-hoc analysis showed that hit rates for feedback trials increased over the 20-trial series, suggesting that participants may have progressively found a mental strategy for improved scoring. Additionally, a subgroup of 26 experienced meditators had a hit rate of 52.1%, a result consistent with previous literature that suggests that meditators are particularly good participants for psi research.

Imagination and reactance in a psi task using the imagery cultivation model and a fuzzy set encoded target pool
Publication year: 2019
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
A psi-conducive altered state of consciousness can be induced through a shamanic-like journeying protocol in accordance with
the Imagery Cultivation (IC) model proposed by Storm and Rock (2009a). Storm and Rock (2009b) found that the protocol helped cultivate psi-related mental imagery. Alternatively, it is hypothesized that individuals who do notbelieve in psi or paranormal phenomena (i.e. ‘goats’) are prone to so-called reactance (Brehm 1966). Reactance is a motivational state aimed at restoring one’s sense of freedom when one feels threatened (Silvia 2005). A reactance treatment in the form of an opinionated communication (perceived as a threat to freedom) can raise reactance, which remains high if no outlet is provided. This induced effect can result in a noncompliant attitude and response, purely as a knee-jerk reaction to the threat. It is hypothesized that higher noncompliant behavior (e.g., psi-missing) can be induced in goats. Storm, Ertel, and Rock (2013) and Storm and Rock (2014) found support for the reactance hypothesis. IC and Reactance principles were used in the present study to manipulate psi in positive and negative directions, respectively. Four groups (total N = 240) were formed: (i) IC/Reactance, (ii) IC/No-Reactance; (iii) No-IC/Reactance, and (iv) No-IC/No-Reactance. The IC treatment produced a non-significant but slightly higher psi effect than the control condition. The reactance treatment had a stronger psychological effect on goats compared with sheep, indicated by a significantly greater discrepancy in goats over the opinionated communication. Significant reactance effects were not found, but specific effects were in the directions expected, with reversals of effects probably due to goats and ‘indecisives’ (mid-range scorers on paranormal belief) in the No-IC/Reactance group. A marginally significant sheep–goat effect was found. Replication attempts would be worthwhile that include refinements to the various IC conditions, and a less persuasive (more challenging) reactance communication.
