From the author: ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Wir untersuchten, ob sich Hypnotisierbarkeit, Dissoziation und der Glaube an Psi auf das Abschneiden bei einer Prakognitionsaufgabe auswirken, die messen sollte, ob eine spatere Ubung eine vorherige Gedachtnisleistung verstarkt. Teilnehmer mit geringer (n = 19) und hoher (n = 19, 7 davon auch mit hoher Dissoziation) Hypnotisierbarkeit absolvierten die Aufgabe und fullten einen Fragebogen zur Messung des Glaubens an Psi aus, wobei die Experimentatoren in Bezug auf den jeweiligen Grad der Hypnotisierbarkeit und Dissoziation der Teilnehmer verblindet waren. Ein allgemeiner Prakognitionseffekt liess sich nicht replizieren, und es zeigte sich kein Gesamteffekt in Bezug auf Hypnotisierbarkeit; leicht Hypnotisierbare mit geringen Dissoziationswerten unterschieden sich jedoch signifikant von dissoziierten leicht Hypnotisierbaren und von schlecht Hypnotisierbaren und schnitten zudem unterzufallig ab. Der Glaube an Psi hing mit Dissoziation und der Geschichte des Traumas zusammen, und Trauma und Arbeitsgedachtnis waren negativ korreliert. Was besondere Merkmale des Experiments selbst betraf, so wurden wir--nachdem wir uber ein Drittel der Teilnehmer getestet hatten--vom Programmentwickler kontaktiert mit der Bitte, eine modifizierte Version zu verwenden. Wir anderten nicht unser Protokoll, entschlossen uns aber, die Daten in Segmenten auszuwerten--entweder vor dem Zeitpunkt oder nachdem wir gebeten wurden, ein unterschiedliches Programm zu verwenden. Obwohl nicht signifikant, deutete das erste Drittel der Daten eindeutig in Richtung eines Psi-Hitting, wahrend die spateren Segmente in die gegenteilige Richtung gingen. Eine Regressionsanalyse, in der der Gruppeneinfluss kontrolliert wurde, zeigte einen signifikanten Absinkungseffekt. Unsere Ergebnisse unterstutzen die Annahme, dass es wichtig ist, mit ausgewahlten Gruppen zu arbeiten und legen die Vermutung nahe, dass Dissoziation die Wirkungen von Hypnotisierbarkeit in Bezug auf Psi-Trefferleistungen vermittelt.

From the author: Eine mehr als hundertjahrige Geschichte der Erforschung der Medialitat ist zum Schluss gekommen, dass begabte Medien in der Lage seien, genaue und spezifische Angaben uber verstorbene Angehorige (als ,,Jenseitige" bezeichnet) lebender Personen (als ,,Sitzungsteilnehmer" bezeichnet) mittels einer anomalen Informations-Rezeption (AIR) zu machen, das heisst ohne vorheriges Wissen uber die Jenseitigen oder Sitzungsteilnehmer, beim Fehlen eines sensorischen Feedback und ohne die Verwendung von Tauschungstechniken. Dieses historischgewonnene Material eines beweisorientiertenForschungszugangs schliesstjedoch nicht die Frage ein, welche Rolle parapsychologische Mechanismen bei der AIR seitens der Medien spielen. Die Datenlage an und fur sich genommen lasst mehrfache Hypothesen zu - einschliesslich des Super-Psi-Modells und des Modells eines parapsychischen Reservoirs (zusammengefasst als "Psi") wie auch die Hypothese vom Fortleben des Bewusstseins (einfach ,,Uberleben" genannt). Wenn die Forschung aufbeweisorientierte Untersuchungen begrenzt wird, werden von den Untersuchemjedoch wichtige Prozesse der Phanomenologie der Medialitat vemachlassigt, die der AIR zugrundeliegen und wie diese Prozesse mit der Uberlebenshypothese in Beziehung stehen. Diese prozessorientierte Untersuchung medialer Erfahrungen konnte zu einem besseren Verstandnis des Ursprungs der Information fuhren, uber die Medien wahrend der AIR berichten. Der Artikel fasst kurz die Ergebnisse prozessorientierter Untersuchungen der Erfahrungen modemer amerikanischer Medien wahrend derer scheinbaren Kommunikation mit Jenseitigen zusammen. Wir schlagen auch Forschungsgebiete fur kunftige prozessorientierte Untersuchungen mit Medien vor, um die Frage umfassender zu behandeln, die der Forschung mit Medien zugrunde liegt, namlich: Gibt es ein Leben nach dem Tod?

From the author: In this study an attempt was made to establish a connection between past psychotraumatic experiences and psi abilities, especially precognition. The theoretical concept underlying this hypothesis is the postulate of a personal sensitization factor (PSF). The PSF can be defined as an intrapsychic precipitate of shocking life events and/or childhood hardship that has sensitized the individual for so-called congruent life events (CLEs), that is, events which possess a certain similarity, concrete or symbolical, to the original trauma. This concept helps to explain why sometimes, following a minor distressing or even trivial event, such as moving to another place or the birthday of one's child, a depressive illness or a psychotic reaction may break out. Under certain circumstances also an event remote in space-time, such as the contemporaneous or future death of a beloved one or any other meaningful event, may fulfill the role of a CLE, giving rise to such anomalous phenomena as crisis-telepathy or precognition. Twelve subjects were asked to guess the top-down sequence of symbols in an open deck of 100 Zener cards. These "cards" were represented by 100 random numbers from 1 through 5, which had been generated by a pseudo-random number generator (RNG) some days before. In total there were four of such runs of 100 trials. For each run a different list of random numbers was used. After having completed the second run, the subjects were invited to an adjacent room in which 12 Thematical Apperception Test (TAT) or TAT-like pictures were spread out. The subjects then were requested to write down in a questionnaire which pairs of pictures they found either "shocking or disgusting," "comforting," "trivial," or "arousing mixed feelings." This procedure left out four pictures that were not mentioned at all. Subjects were also asked to answer questions about traumatic experiences in their own life (personal trauma) as well as in the lives of their parents (possible transgenerational trauma). The 12 pictures had been allotted to 12 different locations within the deck of 100 targets by the same pseudo-RNG. These locations remained the same throughout the four runs. Units of measurement were: (a) the trauma scores that had been given to each subject by the experimenter based upon the answers in the questionnaire, and (b) the number of both direct and displaced hits on Zener cards connected with--that is, located at the position of--a picture, expressed as a proportion of the total number of hits or displacements. Pearson correlations between trauma scores and the percentage of both forward and backward displacements were significantly positive (p < .01). A very significant positive correlation (p < .001) could be observed in the second run, that is, just prior to the exposure to the targets, between the overall trauma score and the percentage of forward displacements. For the more traumatized subjects, pictures that had been mentioned by them attracted significantly more displacements than pictures which had not. An experimenter effect, as an alternative explanation of the findings, cannot as yet be ruled out.

Letter to the editor
I would like to thank Dean Radin for reviewing my new book, Parapsychology and the Skeptics.However, I was surprised by this comment near the end of the review:

"...a nearly identical book could have been written a hundred years ago by Myers or James. What is new today is not merely much more evidence than was available a century ago, but new levels of technical and analytical sophistication that have kept pace with developments in mainstream disciplines."

One hundred years ago we did not have quantum mechanics or Popper's falsification principle, two products of 20th century science and philosophy that are central to the major themes of my book.Yes, today we have not only much more evidence, but also "new levels of technical and analytical sophistication."

But a central theme of my book is that this debate is not primarily about evidence, but about the interpretation of evidence; it is about frameworks of understanding; or to be precise, about scientific and philosophic assumptions that cannot accommodate the reality of psi phenomena. One hundred years ago classical physics was widely assumed - with certainty - to be correct and complete. The dogmatism of the current skeptics is, in part, a legacy of this outmoded science, whose underlying assumptions are contradicted by the existence of psi. It is also a product of the all-too-human desire for certainty and finality, which as Popper has shown, is logically out of place within the scientific enterprise.

From the author: One way by which psi might manifest itself is by influencing ongoing cognitive processes. Word association has previously been suggested as a possible vehicle for psi. Two experiments are described which look at the influence of psi on interpretation of homophones (words which are acoustically identical, but can have different meanings). In Experiment 1, no overall psi was evident, although results indicate a potential "experimenter effect" and an apparent "respouse-bias" effect, in which less-favoured responses tend to elicit more psi-hitting. A potential "stacking-effect" artefact is also considered. Experiment 2 was a replication and extension of Experiment 1, with "true" randomisation techniques. No psi-effects were found, although a marginally significant gender effect was observed. Results are discussed along with potential implications of this approach.

From the author: Personliche Begegnungen mit dem Tod werden bei 25% der Westeuropaer und bei 30% der Amerikaner berichtet. Dreihundertsiebenundreibig Islander, die solche Erfahrungen berichteten, wurden ausfuhrlich interviewt. Neunzig Prozent von ihnen berichteten von sensorischen Erfahrungen (Erscheinungen) einer verstorbenen Person; 69% waren visueller, 28% auditiver, 13% taktiler und 4% olfaktorischer Art. Weniger als die Halfte der Erfahrungen wurde in der Dammerung oder Dunkelheit berichtet. In der Halfte der Falle war der Berichtserstatter mit etwas beschaftigt oder bei der Arbeit. Unverhaltnismassig haufig vertreten waren Erscheinungen solcher Personen, die eines gewaltsamen Todes gestorben waren und Krisenerscheinungen, die in zeitlicher Nahe zum Tod der wahrgenommenen Person berichtet wurden, obwohl in der Mehrzahl der Falle der Perzipient nicht wusste, dass die betreffende Person gestorben war. Die berichtete Todesart und die Identitat der verstorbenen Personen wurden anhand offizieller Unterlagen verifiziert. Eine betrachtliche Anzahl kollektiver Erfahrungen wurde berichtet, darunter solche, die von anderen Zeugen bestatigt wurden.

From the author: Bien que moins active recemment, l'etude de ESP en relation avec la memoire a toujours eu un grand interet pour les parapsychologues. Les methodes, les questions, et les resultats sont varies, mais il vaut mieux les conceptualiser pour permettre un travail plus utile. L'evidence de l'activite du premier modele visuel promet. En bref, le premisse de la base du modele me permet de dire, qu'apres des resultats varies, y compris la correlation positive de la memoire secondaire avec ESP, la correlation negative du premier avec ESP, l'importance d'alerter les participants de la pertinence du ESP dans le contexte des tests de memoire, les effets additifs et soustractifs des essais pour influencer la memoire avec ESP, et l'influence du degre de familiarite du materiel sur ESP, parmi d'autres tendances sont conformes avec les attentes du modele.

From the author: Suite aux resultas importants d'un rapport de 5 GNA auto-tests, qui avait pour but de decouvrir l'effet de soit-dit "Kundalini", deux experiences nouvelles, avec le meme chercheur-participant ont ete effectues. Les seances de controle ont ete utilisees avant et apres les tests (formant un r trio _). Dans la premiere experience Etude 6--de la musique ambiance Kundalini et un projecteur d'image etaient employes. Le niveau de la tension etait mesure avant chacun des 20 seances (le nombres d'essais totales etaient 100,000). Dans cette etude il y avait une importante tendance dans les scores d'aller depuis le niveau le plus bas de la tension au plus haut de la tension et depuis le premier trio au dernier trio. Dans la deuxieme experience--Etude 7--la definition de Kundalini etait elargit pour incorporer des r indicateurs somatiques _ comme les demangeaisons, les picotements, les petites douleurs, et ainsi de suite. Le chercheur attendait des resultats bizarres bases sur les idees de Kennedy (2003) concernant la difficulte de maintenir psi. En faite c'est exactement ce qui s'est passe puisque les resultas pour les Non-Kundalini essais avait ete considerablement positifs, quand les resultas des essais pour les Kundalini etaient laisses plus . la chance. Les resultats representaient donc l'oppose de ce que l'on desirait. On peut considerer que la serie de 7 etudes a eu un rendement important dans chaque cas, sans des tendances nettes des scores psi ce qui rend une prediction presque impossible.

From the author: Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen paranormaler Glaubenseinstellung und kognitiv-perzeptuellen Pers6nlichkeitsmagen. Die Teilnehmer fullten eine Fragebogenbatterie bestehend aus einem Malss fur paranormale Glaubenseinstellung, dem Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ-B) und der Revised Transliminality Scale (RTS) aus. Die Punktwerte auf dera SPQ-B und der RTS korrelierten positiv mit der paranormalen Glaubenseinstellung insgesamt. Unterschiede in der Auspragung der paranormalen Einstellung bei solchen Teilnehmern, die hoch bzw. niedrig bei den jeweiligen kognitiv-perzeptuellen Magen abschnitten, wurden uberpruft. Die uber dem Median liegenden Teilnehmer zeigten hohere Zustimmungswerte auf den Subskalen fur paranormale Glaubenseinstellung (Spukhauser, Aliens, Aberglaube, ausserirdisches Leben, Religion, PK, ASW, Astrologie und Hexerei) ais die unter dera Median liegenden. Mittels partieller Korrelation und hierarchischer Korrelation liess sich zeigen, dass der Hauptanteil der Varianz durch den kognitiv-perzeptuellen Faktor, gemessen durch den SPQ-B, aufgeklart wurde. Zusatzlich zeigte sich innerhalb des Regressionmodells, dag die RTS zusatzliche Varianz aufklarte neben der durch den kognitivperzeptuellen Faktor des SPQ-B.

From the author: Obwohl die Psi-Forschung bei Tieren theoretische und methodologische Kemannahmen mit der Psi-Forschung bei Menschen teilt, bietet sie eigene begriffliche und empirische Herausforderungen. Dargestellt werden zwei Bereiche der Psi-Forschung bei Tieren: (1) die Experimentalforschung, die dazu tendiert hat, Psi bei Tieren als einen evolutionar bedingten Anpassungsprozess der Informationsubertragung zu erklaren, und (2) die Feldforschung, die die Bedeutung der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung fur die Entfaltung von Psi herausgestellt hat. Wenn es auch einige unterstutzende Befunde fur beide Erklarungsmodelle gibt, vertreten wir den Standpunkt, dass das Beweismaterial eher dafur spricht, Psi bei Tieren als Ausdruck einer Beziehung oder als "Resonanz" zwischen Individuen aufzufassen. Wir schlagen vor, dass es erfolgversprechender sein konnte, Psi bei Tieren im Kontext enger Mensch-Tier-Beziehungen zu untersuchen und dass sich die Parapsychologie eher an solchen Methodologien orientieren sollte, die fur die Entfaltung von Psi in Beziehungskontexten forderlich sind.

From the author: Pharmaceutical research provides a useful model for doing convincing research in situations with intense, critical scrutiny of studies. The protocol for a "pivotal" study that is used for decision-making is reviewed by the FDA before the study is begun. The protocol is expected to include a power analysis demonstrating that the study has at least a .8 probability of obtaining significant results with the anticipated effect size, and to specify the statistical analysis that will determine the success of the experiment, including correction for multiple analyses. FDA inspectors often perform audits of the sites where data are collected and/or processed to verify the raw data and experimental procedures. If parapsychological experiments are to provide convincing evidence, power analyses should be done at the planning stage. A committee of experienced parapsychologists, moderate skeptics, and a statistician could review and comment on protocols for proposed "pivotal" studies in an effort to address methodological issues before rather than after the data are collected. The evidence that increasing sample size does not increase the probability of significant results in psi research may prevent the application of these methods and raises questions about the experimental a roach for psi research.

From the author: Ce papier represente un revue sur la recherche concernant la relation entre des substances psychedeliques et les soit-dits phenomenes paranormaux, comme la telepathie, la clairvoyance, et la precognition (i.e., ESP), aussi bien que hors du corps (OBEs) et les experiences premortem (NDEs). Les references qui suivent sont par rapport aux anciens Shamans qui utilisaient ces substances pour intentionnellement provoquer ces experiences et plus recemment des rapports venants des cercles academiques et la parapsychologie de leur temoignages de tels phenomenes. Cependant, la revue se concentre sur la description et l'evaluation critique des experiences controlees dans l'intention de provoquer ESP utilisant des substances psychedeliques et des etudes qui ont soit directement, soit indirectement investigue la croyance en l'existence et les experiences du paranormal en relation avec ces substances. En outre, une critique methodique de la recherche experimentale est offerte avec quelques recommandations pour poursuivre des recherches dans ce domaine.

From the author: Mehrere Psi- und Nicht-Psi-Hypothesen wurden in einer Computer-Rateaufgabe getestet. Teilnehmer (Th) waren 64 Freiwillige, 32 beschrieben sich als starke Psi-Glaubige und 32 als starke Unglaubige. Tn hatten die Abfolge der Zahlen 1-4 zu erraten, indem sie jede Zahl laut aussprachen und gleichzeitig mit einem Mausklick die Antwort registrieren muBten. Bei den ersten 2 Durchgangen (runs) bestand die Abfolge der Ziele (targets) entweder aus einer reinen Wiederholungsvermeidung oder aus einem reinen Abzahlen, z. B. 2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2 .... Nach dem 2. Run fullten die Tn psychologische Tests aus, wahrend der Experimentator ihren Reaktionsbias in den beiden vorhergehenden Runs auswertete. Die 100 registrierten Ziele fur Run 3 waren zufallig, ausgenommen dann, dass jedesmal, wenn der T die Maus anklickte, wenn eine Computeradresse eine 1 (1-Zustand) registrierte, was zufallig in 20% der Zeit passierte, er ein Target fur den nachsten Versuch bekam, das mit seinem Reaktionsbias in den beiden vorangegangen Runs ubereinstimmte, wodurch die Wahrscheinlichkeit fur ein Treffer erhoht wurde. Wie May's Theorie des Entscheidungszuwachses (decision augmentation theory) vorhersagt, klickten die Glaubigen bei Run 3 die Maus signifikant haufiger an als der Zufall, wenn sich der Computer im 1-Zustand befand, und signifikant haufiger als die Unglaubigen. Sowohl die zufalligen wie die Gesamttreffer in Run 3 waren positiv and signifikant mit den Ergebnissen im AT-20 Test fur Toleranzambiguitat korreliert.

From the author: Cet article raconte deux essais de reproduire la capacite pour les enfants de lire avec leurs doigts sous les conditions controlees. Dans l'experience 1, 18 enfants entre 7 et 12 ans ont ete testes individuellement pour determiner s'ils pouvaient, uniquement par la touche et sans les yeux, identifier un numero de deux chiffres imprimes en 1 des 4 differentes couleurs sur une feuille de papier. Aucun effet important de lecture digitale a ete constate. Aucune relation importante entre capacite de lire avec les doigts et les reponses d'un questionnaire sur la reconnaissance d'image et les croyances du paranormal. Dans l'experience 2, un essai a ete fait pour depister des participants talentueux en trois etapes : une etude de selection (SS), une etude de confirmation (CS), et une etude d'instruction (TS); 2,200 enfants ages de 6 a 13 ans ont ete invites a participer dans le SS, donc 1,771 l'ont fait ; 1,655 ont complete 10 epreuves, et 820 ont demontre au moins 1 fois ou plus leurs capacites de reconnaitre un numero de deux chiffres avec la couleur ; 728 de ces enfants la ont complete les 20 epreuves dans le CS avec le meme stimulus. Aucun enfant a ete capable de toucher la cible, donc il n'y avait pas de TS. Les controles des fuites sensorielles etaient moins appliques dans le SS par rapport le CS, ce qui pourrait expliquer les importantes differences dans les resultats. Les deux experience n'ont pas reussi a selectionner des enfants avec le potentiel a developper une capacite de lire avec les doigts. Les suggestions pour une recherche futures sont fournies.
