an effort to get Hal Puthoff and myself fired a kind of professional death. When an influential scientist, a vice-president of Hewlett-Packard, eventually had an opportunity to review the data presented in an IEEE paper written by Hal and myself, he wrote, "This is the kind of thing that I wouldn't believe, even if it were true!" |

But, there are legitimate laboratory projects that may eventually unlock the mysteries of the human mind. One of the most promising is the testing of "remote viewing" the claimed ability of some psychics to describe scenes thousands of miles away. |
