PEAR Research at Princeton, Mind - Matter interactions

[PerihelionX]

I found this referenced only once on the board. I think it deserves it's own topic but please delete this if it's already been discussed.

PEAR is the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research lab. It's not longer operating but for 28 years it conducting experiments mainly centered around mind - matter interaction, specifically conscious intent and its effect on statistical outcomes.

You can read about their experiments here: http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/experiments.html

The outcomes are extremely interesting. First, they found repeatable statistical evidence that the human mind can create minute changes in the average outcome of random events. This effect is so small but measurable and so reliable that some of the researchers created some commercial products around the technology (google 'mind lamp'). Second the effect of the human mind on random events is not effected by time or space. So anyone anywhere at anytime thinking about an outcome can change it! Take this phenomenon and try theorizing about infinite time in infinite dimensions and you get some very interesting thoughts. Third, the effect is amplified by multiple people who are 'emotionally close.' This is amazing evidence that love underpins the creative process of the universe, imo.

Finally you can buy a device based on this technology that plugs into your computer so you can run your own mind - matter experiments. I'm not affiliated with this group in any way I just have seen it work and know this is the real deal. For this device google 'Psyleron REG-1'

Interesting.

That reminds me of Dean Radin from Thunderbolts project who conducted several experiments about telepathy and how the human consciousness can alter the amplitude of a wave-function. Very interesting talk at the EU (Electric Universe) convention of this year.

Coincidentally, Dean Radin has just put up a VERY helpful resource on his website, which includes full PDFs of all the best, recent research on psi. From his blog:

Critics are fond of saying that there is no scientific evidence for psi. They wave their fist in the air and shout, "Show me the evidence!" Then they turn red and have a coughing fit. In less dramatic cases a student might be genuinely curious and open-minded, but unsure where to begin to find reliable evidence about psi. Google knows all and sees all, but it doesn't know how to interpret or evaluate what it knows (at least not yet).

In the past, my response to the "show me" challenge has been to give the titles of a few books to read, point to the bibliographies in those books, and advise the person to do their homework. I still think that this is the best approach for a beginner tackling a complex topic. But given the growing expectation that information on virtually any topic ought to be available online within 60 seconds, traditional methods of scholarship are disappearing fast.

So I've created a SHOW ME page with downloadable articles on psi and psi-related topics, all published in peer-reviewed journals. Most of these papers were published after the year 2000. Most report experimental studies or meta-analyses of classes of experiments. I will continue to add to this page and flesh it out, including links to recent or to especially useful ebooks. This page may eventually become annotated, then multithreaded and hyperlinked, and then morph into a Wiki.

Oh wow! I didn't see that yet! That is truly amazing! Thanks a lot!

On another note, I'm glad that the Thunderbolts project includes consciousness as part of their model. That gives me hope (on that matter).

I like the way Dean approaches the subject. He is very objective about it as far as I can see.

This is an incredible resource, Approaching Infinity! It's exactly what I've been looking for with regards to this topic. I had never heard of Dean Radin before, so I am thrilled to be able to look further into him as well. Thank you!
