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…
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…
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…
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…
Invisible clock can affect awakening: experiments
A phenomenon has been discovered indicating that a person can awaken from sleep one or several times a night at some of precise time points, within any given hour, several times a night, while these…
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…

TLDR
A bird’s eye view of the coverage in the Journal of Parapsychology is given, to cover most of its main areas and include papers by important women and men, giving their right due to the former.

WE present results of experiments suggesting the existence of one or more perceptual modalities through which individuals obtain information about their environment, although this information is not…
A perceptual channel for information transfer over kilometer distances: Historical perspective and recent research
TLDR
The history of scientific inquiry into so-called paranormal perception is presented, some areas of physics are suggested from which a description or explanation of the phenomenon could be forthcoming and the current state of the art in parapsychological research is surveyed.
Immunoglobulin of T lymphoma cells is an integral membrane protein
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.
