There is, very likely, other material in the original transcript of the published reports which is less correlated with the View Master slides. What we are illustrating here is the uniquely pictorial quality of the transcripts, which leads a blind judge to correctly separate the nuns from the guns, and to match the "gun" transcript to the "cowboy with gun" target, and the "archbishop and church" transcript to the "nun" target. |

These ganzfeld experiments were so successful, year after year, that they captured the attention of researchers all over the world. They also attracted the attention of local skeptics, many of whom have created careers based on trashing the work of researchers. Skeptical psychologist Dr. Ray Hyman from the University of Oregon conducted a meta-analysis of 42 ganzfeld studies carried out in laboratories all over the world. In his investigation, he chose 28 experiments as having common evaluation approaches, and found that 82 percent of these had positive outcomes. Much to his surprise, he found himself co-authoring a paper with Chuck Honorton, in which Hyman concluded that this result could not be explained by errors in protocol, and that the ganzfeld work was worthy of further research.21 |

The downside of the ganzfeld research is that such a significant outcome required 354 trials, involving at least three people for two hours for each trial. We believe that part of the cause of this inefficiency is that a new and inexperienced viewer was used for each trial. In our remote-viewing work we try to train a viewer to separate the psychic signal from the mental noise, and then we continue to work with him or her. We have found that with practice, any viewer is able to greatly improve his or her performance, and it is desirable to work with these experienced subjects. |
