Evidence suggestive of foreknowledge does not automatically require effects running backwards through time. Alternative interpretations propose that psi may operate through inference, telepathic influence or psychokinetic shaping of later events, preserving ordinary causal direction while still taking apparently precognitive experiences seriously and examining them without invoking retrocausal chains. Philosopher Stephen…
…as the earliest version of the implicit field-PK work carried out by Roger Nelson and others, eventually leading to the Global Consciousness Project). RNG data were automatically sampled whenever the participant met pre-established alpha (8-13 Hz) brainwave criteria. In an initial study with ten participants, these sampled RNG samples revealed…

…over several years. Absolute effect sizes were very small, but they survived increasingly sophisticated control measures such as using automatic tumbling machines and photographic recording of faces. When JB Rhine retired from Duke in 1965, he moved the lab off campus where it became an independent international research center, which…
…investigation towards explicit method and instrumentation. Its closing emphasis is cautionary, arguing that wider public enthusiasm has not automatically produced better evidence and can easily weaken standards of interpretation. Early Activity The earliest recorded reference to a ghost hunt is found in a letter by Pliny the Younger (61–113 CE),…
…automatically processed) psi or sensory information often might be the most efficient way to move the organism away from a threat or toward a gratifying situation. PMIR mechanisms support that possibility even when the respondent has no conscious awareness of it. Spontaneous-case examples of how PMIR might operate in life…
