- "For years parents and therapists have reported to me that their nonverbal autistic children can access their thoughts by an unclear process. The children report they “see the other’s mind.” I have tested two of these children with randomized numbers. Hayley gave 155 correct out of 162 on random digits and Akhil was 100% accurate." - Diane Powell, neuropsychiatrist
- “Well I think PSI research is important because its an essential part of reality that science hasn’t yet taken note of. Furthermore there’s a lot of misconception about it. People assuming without any proof that there’s no such thing. Its just a piece of dogma and science should not be about dogma.” - Nobel laureate Brian Josepson, discoverer of the quantum tunnel effect, Cambridge University
- “Sceptics tend to argue that there are no replicable experiments in parapsychology, a claim which an unbiased review of the literature demonstrates to be false. Many lines of parapsychology research actually demonstrate impressive replicability..." - Richard Broughton
- "Over a span of thirty years several researchers at five different laboratories here and abroad carried out telepathy experiments in which one person was in a situation of sensory isolation called the ganzfeld ... In a published meta-analysis of seventy-nine studies comprising hundreds of individual trials, the probability that the results of the experiments were chance was almost one in a billion (2 x 10-8), meaning that the isolated receiver was extraordinarily successful in describing what his distant friend was seeing." - Russell Targ, physicist
- “The SRI experiments showed that the viewer is not bound by present time. Our psychic viewers were able to find a downed Russian bomber in Africa, to describe the health of American hostages in Iran and to locate a kidnapped American general in Italy. We also described Soviet weapons factories in Siberia and a Chinese atomic-bomb test three days before it occurred ... Our last example of a terrestrial SCANATE target was phoned in by our CIA contact, who was still challenging our work. (In these carefully controlled experiments, no maps were permitted, and Ingo was asked to reply as soon as he heard the coordinates read to him.) The coordinates were for the French Kerguelen Island in the South Indian Ocean." - Russell Targ, physicist
- In a study by Dr. Peoc’h, newly hatched chicks were exposed to a small robot so that they could bond with it. The robot would then move randomly, as determined by a random number generator. However, when the chick was nearby, the robot moved non-randomly. / 2 It has also been shown that human consciousness and intention can affect the behavior of random number generators.
- N’kisi, a pet African Grey parrot that had been taught a large vocabulary of English words, was said by its owner routinely to vocalize unstated thoughts in her mind. To test this, Sheldrake separated parrot and owner in rooms on different floors, precluding sensory contact between the two. During two-minute trials in which both were continuously filmed, the owner concentrated on a randomly chosen picture while the parrot’s vocalizations were recorded. After 149 trials, the recordings were transcribed and given to three independent judges. Using a majority scoring method, N’kisi’s vocalizations matched the photographs to a high degree of statistical significance (p<0.0002).26.
- In 2016 the CIA released results of studies conducted on Israeli psychic Uri Geller. Geller successfully described and drew pictures / 2 that were outside of a shielded room. They stated - "As a result of Geller's success in this experimental period, we consider that he has demonstrated his perceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner." This was also done by Upton Sinclair, 2.
- “Uri has a controversial reputation. A lot of people think he is a fraud, a lot of people think he is a trickster and makes things up, but at the same time he has a huge following and a history of doing things that nobody can explain.” - Vikram Jayanti
- "Many people think that Geller is a total fraud and that he fooled us with his tricks. But that is not true. We had more SRI technical and management oversight of our experiments with Uri than in any other phase of our research. Hal Puthoff and I found that in carefully controlled experiments Uri could psychically perceive and copy pictures that an artist and I would randomly select and draw in an opaque and electrically shielded room." - Russell Targ, physicist
- "Using the standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established. The statistical results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance. Arguments that these results could be due to methodological flaws in the experiments are soundly refuted. Effects of similar magnitude have been replicated in a number of laboratories across the world. Such consistency cannot be explained by claims of flaws or fraud. The magnitude of psychic functioning exhibited appears to be in the range between what social scientists call a small and medium effect. This means that it is reliable enough to be replicated in properly conducted experiments with sufficient trials to achieve the long run statistical results needed for replicability." - Jessica Utts, Professor of Statistics at the University of California
