Final report - A trait-and-state analysis of precognitive remote viewing focusing on gender, emotions, and pregnancy status
Publication year: 2022
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
We and others have found that gender and emotional state influence precognition performance. Here we aimed to further examine trait/state relationships with precognition using a more efficient design and a larger participant population.
Aims
We tested five hypotheses:
1) Feelings of unconditional love support PRV accuracy;
2) Feelings of anxiety reduce PRV accuracy;
3) PRV accuracy is supported by unconditional love in women and anxiety in men;
4) PRV accuracy in women is supported by reproductive hormones;
5) PRV accuracy is supported by interesting targets.
Method
We tested these hypotheses by gathering data from 307 participants under the age of 40, all of whom completed an anxiety and unconditional love survey before performing a brief customdesigned online precognitive remote viewing (PRV) task in which they had to try to describe a photo target that was randomly selected after submitting their description.
Results
Unconditional love supported accuracy on the PRV task (hyp. 1), while feelings of anxiety partially supported PRV accuracy (contrasting hyp. 2). Unconditional love showed no gender difference, but anxiety was related to better performance in women and to worse performance in men (contrasting hyp. 3). Further, women taking reproductive hormones performed no differently from other women (contrasting hyp. 4). Finally, target interestingness supported PRV accuracy (hyp. 5).
Conclusions
A brief PRV task produced significant results even for untrained individuals, suggesting that it taps robust precognition mechanisms that are common across humanity. Further, such a task can be used to probe the influence of emotions and gender, revealing intriguing patterns to examine in future work.

Publication year: 2024
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
In the past two decades physiological experiments have been finding changes in physiological conditions preceding randomly selected stimuli, stimuli for which a participant could have no causal method for guessing correctly, either consciously or unconsciously.
Aims
This study aimed to investigate pre-stimulus effects before randomly generated stimuli using EEG with an eventual goal of making a predictive system. The hypothesis was that post-stimulus effects would be reflected pre-stimulus but at a much smaller effect size.
Method
Data were collected from 102 participants using a 32-channel EEG system using water-based electrodes. There were two experiments: 1) 1/3 probability of each of a light stimulus, sound stimulus, and null stimulus and 2) 1/2 probability of a combined light and sound stimulus and a null stimulus, further divided into a set where the participant presses any key and a set where they do not.
Results
A borderline (p = 0.05) significant result was found using the Euclidean distance classifier for the experiment 1 sound stimulus versus null stimulus comparison but only before the Bonferroni multiple analyses correction.
Significant changes in 10 Hz spectral power density were found for the experiment 1 sound versus null comparison (p = 0.021) and the experiment 2 combined versus null comparison without key press required (p = 0.0024). The former was in the expected direction (decrease) while the latter was in the opposite direction (increase).
Conclusions
The strongest result was a pre-stimulus enhancement of alpha waves before a combined light-sound stimulus when compared to the null condition. However, this effect was in the direction opposite that predicted by hypothesis.

https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/psychology-and-the-paranormal/book268474#description
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The field of research on the paranormal has changed enormously in the last 20 years. Examining experiences of extrasensory perception, psychokinesis, precognition, ganzfeld, dissociative states, out-of-the-body experiences, alien abductions and near-death experiences, the book appraises the best available evidence to date on scientific claims of the paranormal. Each chapter also provides a description of the psychological processes that are likely to contribute to these experiences, and to the high prevalence of paranormal beliefs. Importantly, this book does not take a fixed sceptical or 'disbelieving' view of the phenomena but, as far as possible, offers a neutral gaze which will equip readers to make up their own minds, as well as providing them with the critical skills to defend their conclusions. The book is in four parts. Part I is about basic principles, theories and processes. It defines the field of this survey as the 'science of anomaly'; presents a new integrative review and theory of paranormal experience; and discusses some of the key psychological processes that increase our understanding of anomalous experiences and beliefs. Part II is concerned with empirical and theoretical perspectives on some of the best known 'classic' subjective anomalous phenomena that are claimed to be paranormal. Part III concerns three subjectively anomalous experiences that are usually not given paranormal interpretations: the Hypnotic Trance State, Out-Of-Body Experience (OBE) and Near Death Experience (NDE). Part IV provides a conclusion and 'take-home message'. Finally, an Appendix provides concepts, methods and measures which should be helpful to readers wishing to embark upon studies of their own. It is helpful to look at the general terrain of 'anomalistic psychology' both subjective paranormal experiences (SPEs) that are claimed by some authorities to be paranormal and other SPEs not generally claimed to be paranormal, with intriguing differences between the two.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
Meta-analyses of ganzfeld ESP research have found highest scoring with selected participants. However, debate continues over how to interpret positive results. The present Confirmatory study follows up on this work to build on lessons learned and reduce debate.
Aims
1. to test the ESP hypothesis incorporating design features aimed to optimise psi-conduciveness and security (Confirmatory). 2. to explore the previously-observed link between self-reported creativity and ganzfeld task performance using validated creativity measures (Exploratory).
Method
A ganzfeld precognition design was used to test 240 participants selected for creativity as well as practice of a mental discipline and/or prior psi experience and/or psi belief. Psi-conduciveness was further optimised by selecting experimenters. Optimal security measures included recording session data in triplicate to make any tampering detectable. The study design and analysis plan were pre-registered.
Results
72 hits were obtained out of 240 sessions, a 30% hit-rate, p=.043 (1-t), z=1.714. Post hoc investigations and an independent software validation exercise found no subtle bias or software/RNG errors that might have inflated the hit-rate. No significant correlations were found between psi task performance and the creativity measures.
Conclusions
The study's confirmatory hypothesis was significantly supported, indicating that participants could identify the randomly selected future target. This result encourages researchers that optimum security and psi-conduciveness can productively co-exist. Our study also pioneered the use of independent 'puppeteered' software validation methods in ganzfeld research and recommends this to other researchers.

State, trait, and target parameters associated with accuracy in two online tests of precognitive remote viewin
Publication year: 2024

https://doi.org/10.31156/jaex.24743
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objective. To better characterize the relations between accuracy on precognitive remote viewing (PRV) tasks and potentially relevant trait, state, and target parameters, we gathered PRV data in two online experiments and examined accuracy relative to: sex-at-birth, gender, age, anxiety, unconditional love, and target interestingness. Method. In experiment 1 we used a forced-choice, uncontrolled-time, self-judged PRV task for which 682 unpaid participants contributed a total of 5,432 trials. Experiment 2 used a free-response, controlled-time, independently judged PRV task for which 307 paid participants each contributed a single trial. In neither case were the participants pre-screened for precognition ability. Results. In experiment 1 (forced-choice PRV task), there was no significant target precognition and no effect of age on PRV performance, but we found a complex effect of sex-at-birth. We also found that targets most likely to be correctly predicted were also more likely to be judged as interesting compared to targets most likely to be incorrectly predicted; a pre-registered analysis confirmed this effect. In experiment 2 (free-response PRV task) we found significant target precognition, no effect of age on performance, and a weak and indirect effect of gender. Feelings of unconditional love and anxiety were both correlated with higher accuracy in experiment 2. Again, target interestingness was positively related to accuracy. Conclusion. These results suggest that accuracy on PRV tasks is related to the emotional state of participants and target interestingness, and that task characteristics mitigate overall performance. We provide recommendations for future research based on these observations.

Final report - Psi at home: An adaptable protocol for psi experiments with selected cohorts

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
Replication of results and theory development are two major challenges for psi research. Replicability is arguably more critical since advancing theory requires reliable experimental input.
Aims
Psi@Home (P@H) seeks a better platform for psi experiments. In our view, protocols must produce effects reliably and be practical to implement. While proven psi protocols exist (e.g. the Ganzfeld), experiments are onerous to replicate. A well-powered Ganzfeld replication needs >500 sessions, takes several years to complete and requires considerable prior expertise. This sets a high bar in terms of resources for researchers within and outside the field. We innovate on 3 essential protocol elements: subjects, the experimental setting and the psi task. P@H establishes selected cohorts who are available for multiple experiments. Experimental sessions are done independently at home on a downloaded app which removes geographical limitations and allows a comfortable setting. The app can be modified to create different experiments. P@H provides protocols that are flexible and transferable to other researchers.
Method
Develop P@H for data acquisition and cohort management.
Test with a meditator cohort.
Test transferability with surrogate researchers who create an open cohort.
Results
Studies of a binary precognitive task were completed with 2 cohorts in 6 weeks. Pre-registered tests (meditators, open): H1) Variance>1 (p=.22; .66); H2) Mean>0.5 (p=.83; .08); H3) V(med)>V(open) (p=.04). Variance was highly significant (p=.00004) on 90 sessions collected during recruitment.
Conclusions
We have shown that P@H is a viable platform for psi collaborations. Work is needed to better stabilize psi effects.

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.

A forced-choice precognition experiment with selected cohorts

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objective. We report a pre-registered forced-choice precognition study to test a novel collaborative platform for psi experimentation. The study compared a cohort of experienced meditators and a cohort selected by the mere interest to participate in the study.
Method. The Internet-based platform, named Psi@Home, was developed to allow participants to contribute at-home experimental sessions using custom software. Each session comprised 20 forced-choice trials. 80 sessions per cohort were collected for the pre-registered study and hypotheses for each cohort were: the increase of the variance of session hit rates; and the increase
of the total hit rate. A third hypothesis predicted a higher variance for the meditator cohort. The first hypothesis was confirmatory, and the others were exploratory.
Results. The variance difference hypothesis was confirmed (p = .03). Other hypotheses did not surpass p = .05 one-tailed significance in the formal study. However, 90 tryout sessions showed a markedly strong increase of session variance (p = .00003).
Conclusion. We successfully tested a novel platform for collaborative psi experiments. Two preregistered cohort studies found no direct evidence for a psi effect. However, for tryout data whose collection was specified in pre-registration using the same participants and protocol, variance across sessions was highly significant. Differences in participant attitudes during the two periods of data collection may account for the discrepancy.

Title:
Future dreams of electric sheep: Case study of a possibly precognitive lucid dreamer with AI scoring
Publication year: 2025

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
A precognitive dream is a dream about seemingly unpredictable future events that nonetheless seem to be predicted by the dream. It has been most convincingly replicated in two case studies using a single skilled precognitive dreamer (Maimonides studies by Krippner et al., 1971, 1972). Instead of repeating these original studies with another skilled precognitive dreamer, here we set out to determine whether an individual with another unusual dreaming skill – that of entering a lucid dream state almost at will and sketching images seen in that state upon awakening – could become a precognitive dreamer with practice. We pre-registered a formal experiment with two sets of 5 trials. In each trial, the dreamer recorded the contents of his lucid dream in a transcript, emailed the transcript to a skeptical target-selector, who then used a random number generator to select a target, sent the URL for the target to the dreamer, and forwarded both the target URL and the dream transcript to the analyst, who stored the date, dream transcript, and target together in a database. We used three methods of judging: a pre-registered but flawed judging method using two skilled human judges (producing 3 hits out of 10), an exploratory method drawing on unskilled human judges (producing 1 hit out of 10), and an exploratory method comparing judging performance across five different text embedding models within large language AI models (producing 5 hits out of 10). AI-judged methods offered clear evidence for precognition, including a dream-target match conservatively calculated to be highly unlikely to be obtained by chance (p < 1.2×10?5), but a confirmatory experiment is required before drawing firm conclusions. Further, several of the accurate transcript/target pair matches made by the top-performing text embedding models matched those of the skilled human judges, suggesting that the AI method captured human sensibilities and expanded on them. The differences in accuracy among the embedding models have implications for the selection of AI models for future free-response experiments and can begin to give shape to a future of AI participation in screening, training, performance, and analysis in multiple free-response contexts.
