Final report - Evaluating both precognition and presentiment among children in different age groups
Publication year: 2018
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Anecdotal reports suggest that PSI may be more apparent in young children, although there are few studies of age-related differences in PSI.
AIM OF THE STUDY
Our study investigated age-related differences in precognition and presentiment among children using a standardized laboratory test.
METHOD
Precognition and presentiment testing was performed for 120 children divided into three age groups, 3 to 6, 7 to 10, and 11 to 14 years of age. Each completed a computerized precognition task based on that distributed by Daryl Bem. Testing comprised 36 trials predicting the location of target images that elicted positive emotions or were non-emotional. Performance was determined as the percentage of correct predictions (hit rate).
RESULTS
All 120 participants, even the youngest, were able to complete the task as instructed. Comparisons of the three age group revealed significant differences in hit rate (F(2,117) = 3.11, p = .049), with the youngest performing best and the middle group worst (p = .01). Age-related differences were apparent for positive emotional images, but not for non-emotional images. Exploratory tests indicated that although performance was not better than chance in the full sample (N = 120), the young group did perform better than chance (p = .004) with a hit rate of 53.2%.
CONCLUSIONS
This pilot study demonstrated that computerized testing of precognition and presentiment is feasible in children across a broad age range. Results confirmed that age groups differed in performance, with the youngest group doing best. Further studies of age differences are warranted. A better understanding of PSI in children could be beneficial to both the fields of parapsychology and child development.

Title:
Can hypnotic suggestion induce feelings of unconditional love and supernormal performance?
Publication year: 2020

https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-63769-001
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Rigorous, controlled laboratory investigations into what have been called “supernormal” abilities have revealed replicable experimental evidence for precognition, the ability to predict randomly determined future events, and micropsychokinesis, the ability to mentally influence the probability of random events such as the output of a truly random number generator. However, the effects are small among the general population, while individuals already prescreened for talent show larger effects. Improving performance on tasks testing supernormal abilities is a high priority for those interested in understanding these effects. Here, we empirically examined the idea that using hypnotic suggestion to put individuals in a self-transcendent state of unconditional love would produce above-chance precognition and micropsychokinesis in unscreened participants. Using a crossover study design, 35 participants (gender mix = 71% women; M age = 53.5 years) received two hypnotic suggestions on two different days: one to enjoy experiencing unconditional love, the other to enjoy accessing precognition abilities. Both suggestions were related to a significant and lasting increase in self-reported feelings of unconditional love, but supernormal abilities did not improve from before to after suggestion in either condition. However, post hoc analyses revealed that performance on a precognitive remote viewing task was significantly higher than chance prior to the unconditional love suggestion, and this performance was significantly higher in participants who reported greater feelings of unconditional love. Additional research is required to confirm or reject this tentative but potentially revealing relationship and to further examine the influence of the clinical use of hypnotic suggestion to boost feelings of unconditional love.

Two replication studies of a time-reversed (Psi) priming task and the role of expectancy in reaction times
Publication year: 2021

https://journalofscientificexploration.org/index.php/jse/article/view/1903
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Two experiments involving an international collaboration of experimenters sought to replicate and extend a previously published psi experiment on precognition by Daryl Bem that has been the focus of extensive research. The experiment reverses the usual cause–effect sequence of a standard psychology experiment using priming and reaction times. The preregistered confirmatory hypothesis is that response times to incongruent stimuli will be longer than response times to congruent stimuli even though the prime has not yet appeared when the participant records their judgments. The confirmatory hypothesis for Experiment 1 was not supported. Exploratory analyses indicated that those participants who completed the English-language version rather than a translation showed a significant effect, as was the case in the original study; no significant departure from chance was found in data involving non-English translations. Experiment 2 sought to enhance the predicted effect by having each participant read either a pro-psi or an anti-psi statement at the beginning of the experiment to test the pre-recorded hypothesis that a pro-psi statement would produce a larger effect than an anti-psi statement. The results did not support the primary psi hypothesis and there was no effect in the English-language sample. However, there was mixed support for the effect of the psi statement on performance; those participants who received the pro-psi statement had a greater psi score than those who received the anti-psi statement. As in the original experiment, neither the experimenters’ nor participants’ beliefs were significantly associated with the dependent measure. In sum, the pre-registered confirmatory hypotheses were not supported. The importance of the personality variable Sensation Seeking, a component of extraversion, as a correlate of psi performance is discussed as are the challenges and implications for international collaborations and replication in controversial science.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Two experiments involving an international collaboration of experimenters sought to replicate and extend a previously published psi experiment on precognition by Daryl Bem that has been the focus of extensive research. The experiment reverses the usual cause–effect sequence of a standard psychology experiment using priming and reaction times. The preregistered confirmatory hypothesis is that response times to incongruent stimuli will be longer than response times to congruent stimuli even though the prime has not yet appeared when the participant records their judgments. The confirmatory hypothesis for Experiment 1 was not supported. Exploratory analyses indicated that those participants who completed the English-language version rather than a translation showed a significant effect, as was the case in the original study; no significant departure from chance was found in data involving non-English translations. Experiment 2 sought to enhance the predicted effect by having each participant read either a pro-psi or an anti-psi statement at the beginning of the experiment to test the pre-recorded hypothesis that a pro-psi statement would produce a larger effect than an anti-psi statement. The results did not support the primary psi hypothesis and there was no effect in the English-language sample. However, there was mixed support for the effect of the psi statement on performance; those participants who received the pro-psi statement had a greater psi score than those who received the anti-psi statement. As in the original experiment, neither the experimenters’ nor participants’ beliefs were significantly associated with the dependent measure. In sum, the pre-registered confirmatory hypotheses were not supported. The importance of the personality variable Sensation Seeking, a component of extraversion, as a correlate of psi performance is discussed as are the challenges and implications for international collaborations and replication in controversial science.

Publication year: 2017
URL:
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-58628-1_7#citeas
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Several lines of evidence suggest that humans can predict events that seem to be unpredictable through ordinary sensory means. After reviewing the literature in this controversial field, I present an exploratory EEG study that addresses this hypothesis. I used a pattern classification algorithm drawing on EEG data prior to stimulus presentation to successfully predict upcoming motor responses that were constrained by the upcoming stimulus. Both the phase of peak alpha activity and overall amplitude at similar to 550 ms prior to the presentation of the stimulus were useful in predicting the upcoming motor response. Although these results support the idea that brain activity may reflect precognitive processes in certain situations, due to the exploratory nature of this study, additional pre-registered confirmatory experiments are required before the results can be considered solid. Implications for creating a closed-loop predictive system based on human physiology are discussed.

Psi performance as a function of demographic and personality factors in smartphone-based tests: Using a “SEARCH” approach.
Publication year: 2021

https://journals.lub.lu.se/jaex/article/view/23419
Abstract/Results: Objective: We set out to gain a better understanding of human psychic or “psi” functioning by using a smartphone-based app to gather data from thousands of participants. Our expectations were that psi performance would often be revealed to be in the direction opposite to the participants’ conscious intentions (“expectation-opposing”; previously called “psi-missing”), and that gender and psi belief would be related to performance. Method:We created and launched three iOS-based tasks, available from 2017 to 2020, related to micro-psychokinesis (the ability to mentally influence a random number generator) and precognition (the ability to predict future randomly selected events). We statistically analyzed data from more than 2,613 unique logins and 995,995 contributed trials using null hypothesis significance testing as well as a pre-registered confirmatory analysis. Results: Our expectations were confirmed, and we discovered additional effects post-hoc. Our key findings were: 1) significant expectation-opposing effects, with a confirmatory pre-registered replication of a clear expectation-opposing effect on a micro-pk task, 2) performance correlated with psi belief on all three tasks, 3) performance on two of the three tasks related to gender, 4) men and women apparently used different strategies to perform micro-pk and precognition tasks. Conclusions: We describe our recommendations for future attempts to better understand performance on forced-choice psi tasks. The mnemonic for this strategy is SEARCH: Small effects, Early and exploratory, Accrue data, Recognize diversity in approach, Characterize rather than impose, and Hone in on big results.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Multiple individual studies and meta-analyses report positive findings in parapsychology. One of the most influential of these study series was reported by Bem in 2011, showing evidence supporting the existence of precognition.
AIMS
This project aimed to develop methodological tools that facilitate highly credible and rigorous research. Furthermore, we aimed to demonstrate the use of these tools via a multi-site, fully transparent replication of Bem’s (2011) Experiment 1.
METHOD
We developed a study protocol for this replication effort via a Consensus Design Process. During this process more than twenty experts on the field (both proponents and opponents of the original ESP hypothesis) contributed to finalizing the protocol. The credibility-enhancing methods include direct data deposition combined with born-open data and real-time research reports, to demonstrate data integrity. Piloting, checklists, laboratory logs, and video documented trial sessions were used to ascertain as-intended protocol delivery. Tamper-evident software and external research auditors provided further assurance of integrity. We demonstrate the application of these methods in a replication of Bem’s 2011 experiment on extrasensory perception.
RESULTS
In the main study we observed a total of 49.89% successful guesses (99.5% CI = 49.11%, 50.67%); posterior mode = 50.02%, posterior 90% HDI = 49.6%, 50.4%), which do not support Bem’s original findings.
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings indicate that the study paradigm used in Bem’s 2011 experiment 1 is unlikely to yield evidence for the existence of ESP. We also found that the credibility-enhancing tools used in this project are feasible and they enable conducting a study with very high credibility.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
People worldwide have reported knowing who is calling them without using traditional means. Controlled experiments testing these claims have found both positive and negative results. Factors such as caller familiarity and physical distance have also been evaluated with mixed results.
Aims
Building upon these previous efforts, we examined the accuracy in guessing who was calling them for groups of three individuals varying in relatedness.
Method
Using a cross-sectional study design, enrolled triads guessed who was calling them in 12 trials using two randomly selected designs: 1) six trials where a computer randomly chose the caller was before the callee’s guesses were made (pre-selected) and 2) six trials where a computer randomly chose the caller after the callee’s guesses (post-selected). Genetic relationships, emotional closeness, communication frequency, and physical distance data were also collected to evaluate their relationship with accuracy.
Results
A total of 177 participants completed at least one trial (105 completed all 12 trials). Accuracy was significantly above chance for pre-selected trials (50.0% where chance expectation was 33.3%, p<0.000005) but not post-selected trials (ns). Genetic relationship was significantly predictive of accuracy when alone in the model (?? = 0.21, z = 4.13, p<0.00005) but not when physical distance, emotional closeness, and communication frequency covariates were included (ns). Physical distance (?? = 0.0002, z = 1.56, p=0.12) and emotional closeness (?? = 0.005, z = 1.87, p=0.06) were not significant but communication frequency was (?? = 0.006, z = 2.19, p=0.038).
Conclusions
A telepathic model for knowing who is calling is more supported than a precognitive model. Future research will continue methodological improvements to replicate these findings and examine the mechanism by which people can know who is calling, as well as nuances that may moderate the effects.

Who's calling? Evaluating the accuracy of guessing who is on the phone

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Some people claim to occasionally know who is calling them without using traditional means. Controlled experiments testing these claims report mixed results. We conducted a cross-sectional study of triads examining the accuracy of knowing who was calling using two randomly selected designs: 1) a web server randomly chose the caller before the callee's guess (telepathic/pre-selected trials), and 2) a web server randomly chose the caller after the callee's guess (precognitive/post-selected trials). We also performed exploratory multilevel mixed-effects logistic regressions on the relationship of genetic relationships, emotional closeness, communication frequency, and physical distance data with accuracy. A total of 177 participants completed at least one trial (105 “completers” completed all 12 trials). Accuracy was significantly above chance for the 210 completers telepathic/pre-selected trials (50.0% where the chance expectation was 33.3%, p<.001) but not the 630 completers precognitive/post-selected trials (31.9% where the chance expectation was 33.3%, p = .61). We discuss how these results favor the psi hypothesis, although conventional explanations cannot be completely excluded. Genetic relatedness significantly predicted accuracy in the regression model (Wald ?2 = 53.0, P < .001) for all trials. Compared to 0% genetic relatedness, the odds of accurately identifying the caller was 2.88 times (188%) higher for 25% genetic relatedness (Grandparent/Grandchild or Aunt/Uncle or Niece/Nephew or Half Sibling; ß = 1.06, z = 2.10, P = .04), but the other genetic relatedness levels were not significant. In addition, communication frequency was significant (ß = 0.006, z = 2.19, P = .03) but physical distance (ß = 0.0002, z = 1.56, P = .12) and emotional closeness (ß = 0.005, z = 1.87, P = .06) were not for all trials. To facilitate study recruitment and completion, unavoidable changes to the protocol were made during the study due to persistent recruitment difficulties, including changing inclusion/exclusion criteria, increasing total call attempts to participants, adjusting trial type randomization schema to ensure trial type balance, and participant compensation. Thus, future research will be needed to continue to improve the methodology and examine the mechanism by which people claim to know who is calling, as well as factors that may moderate the effects.

Title: BIAL Grants
Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Precognition at the boundaries: An empirical review and theoretical discussion
Publication year: 2023

https://doi.org/10.31156/jaex.24216
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The rigorous scientific study of precognition, the human ability to accurately predict future events that are not already predictable based on information about the past or from the five senses, spans the last 90 years. This review describes different types of precognition, underscores the basic principles of precognition research, and discusses the evidence for and potential mechanisms of two very different forms of precognition: 1) mostly unconscious precognition with short lead times (e.g., presentiment) and 2) mostly conscious precognition with longer lead times (e.g., precognitive remote viewing). I describe two potential models to explain each of these forms of precognition, along with ideas for empirical tests of each one.
