TARG AND PUTHOFF1–3 have described investigations of an extrasensory remote viewing ability which they claim may be widely distributed in the general population. We have carried out duplicate experiments, but our results do not verify their conclusions.

      Performance at a Precognitive Remote Viewing Task, with and without Ganzfeld Stimulation: Three Experiments
      Recent research by the lead author has sought to incorporate ganzfeld stimulation as part of a remote viewing protocol. An initial exploratory experiment (Roe & Flint, 2007) suggested that novice… Expand
      Remote Viewing: Failures to Replicate with Control Comparisons
      The paranormal phenomenon termed “remote viewing” was investigated using procedures employed in successful demonstrations of the phenomenon. 20 selected college students volunteered as receivers and… Expand
      Investigating the paranormal
      Parascience has so far failed to produce a single repeatable finding and, until it does, will continue to be viewed as an incoherent collection of belief systems steeped in fantasy, illusion and… Expand
      The anomaly called psi: Recent research and criticism
      Over the past hundred years, a number of scientific investigators claim to have adduced experimental evidence for “psi” phenomena – that is, the apparent ability to receive information shielded from… Expand
      The psychology of paranormal beliefs
      Investigation of paranormal claims has failed to find any repeatable paranormal phenomena, yet beliefs in such phenomena are extemely prevalent. Some of the psychological mechanisms which support… Expand
      Psi experiments: Do the best parapsychological experiments justify the claims for psi?
      TLDR
      The results of the scrutiny of the three most widely heralded programs of research — the remote viewing experiments, the psi ganzfeld research, and the work with random number generators — indicates that parapsychological research falls short of the professed standards of the field. Expand
      Parapsychology: Science of the anomalous or search for the soul?
      Although there has been over a century of formal empirical inquiry, parapsychologists have clearly failed to produce a single reliable demonstration of “paranormal,” or “psi,” phenomena. Although… Expand
      Editorial: Four score (plus) years ago
      Among their many achievements, Joseph Banks Rhine and collaborators launched The Journal of Parapsychology (JP) in 1937, the foremost venue for parapsychology experimental research and surpassed in… Expand

      TLDR
      It is proposed that the antigen-combining site of T cell IgM protrudes from the cell surface, but that the Fc portion bearing the characteristic antigenic determinants of the heavy chain is not accessible to large molecules in the solvent. Expand
