Richard G. FOWLER	Toward a Quantitative Theory of Intellectual Discovery (Especially in Physics)	11-20
	Abstract: By the study of time intervals in a subjective yet consistently chosen temporally ordered list of the critical ideas which comprise Physics, a quantitative theory of the growth of these ideas is inferred which takes the entirely plausible form that the rate of growth of ideas is proportional to the totality of known ideas multiplied by the totality of people in the world. There is some slight titillating indication in the data that the rate of fundamental discovery in Physics has been decreasing abnormally over the past 50 years.

R. G. JAHN, B. J. DUNNE, R. D. NELSON	Engineering Anomalies Research	21-50
	Abstract: Anomalous consciousness-related phenomena of possible relevance to basic physical science and modern engineering practice are addressed experimentally and theoretically in an effort to identify those devices, systems, and processes most likely to display operator-related anomalies in their performance, and to illuminate the characteristics of such aberrations. Three interrelated sectors of effort are pursued: the design, implementation, operation, and interpretation of experiments in low-level psychokinesis; the development of analytical methodologies for quantitative assessment of precognitive remote perception data; and the development of theoretical models useful for correlation of the experimental data, design of better experiments, and explication of the phenomena on fundamental grounds. The primary effect observed in the psychokinesis experiments is a marginal but replicable shift of the mean of output count distributions with respect to empirical baselines or theoretical expectations, with no discernible alterations in any higher moments. Over large data bases, these mean shifts can compound with considerable statistical regularity to high levels of significance, depending on the particular operator, the direction of effort, and other prevailing experimental conditions. In many cases, individual operator "signatures" of achievement are found to transfer across various experimental devices, including some driven by deterministic pseudo-random sources. Quantitative analysis of a large data base of remote perception experiments reveals similar departures from chance expectation of the degree of target information acquired by anomalous means. Digital scoring techniques based on a spectrum of 30 binary descriptors, applied to all targets and perceptions in the experimental pool, consistently indicate acquisition of substantial topical and impressionistic information about remote geographical locations inaccessible by known sensory channels. The degree of such anomalous information acquisition appears independent of the spatial separation of the percipient from the target, up to global distances, and also independent of the temporal separation of the perception effort from the time of target specification by the agent, up to periods of precognition or retrocognition of several days. In an attempt to illuminate these empirical results, a theoretical model has been proposed that invokes quantum mechanical metaphors to describe the interaction of consciousness with its environment. By representing consciousness by quantum mechanical wave functions and its physical environment by appropriate potential energy profiles, Schrodinger wave mechanics may be used to define eigenfunctions and eigenvalues indicative of psychological and physical experience, both normal and anomalous, in a form applicable to the experimental designs. The experimental results in hand, along with the generic predictions of the theoretical model, suggest numerous short and longer term practical applications of the phenomena, and raise basic issues about the role of consciousness in the establishment of reality.

P. A. STURROCK	An Analysis of the Condon Report on the Colorado UFO Project	75-100
	Abstract: The "Condon Report," presenting the findings of the Colorado Project on a scientific study of unidentified flying objects, has been and remains the most influential public document concerning the scientific status of this problem. Hence, all current scientific work on the UFO problem must make reference to the Condon Report. For this reason, it remains important to understand the contents of this report, the work on which the report is based, and the relationship of the "Summary of the Study" and "Conclusions and Recommendations" to the body of the report. The present analysis of this report contains an overview, an analysis of evidence by categories, and a discussion of scientific methodology. The overview shows that most case studies were conducted by junior stac the senior staff took little part, and the director took no part, in these investigations. The analysis of evidence by categories shows that there are substantial and significant differences between the findings of the project staff and those that the director attributes to the project. Although both the director and the staff are cautious in stating conclusions, the staff tend to emphasize challenging cases and unanswered questions, whereas the director emphasizes the difficulty of further study and the probability that there is no scientific knowledge to be gained. Concerning methodology, it appears that the project was unable to identify current challenging cases that warranted truly exhaustive investigation. Nor did the project develop a uniform and systematic procedure for cataloging the large number of older cases with which they were provided. In drawing conclusions from the study of such a problem, the nature and scope of which are fraught with so much uncertainty, it would have been prudent to avoid theory-dependent arguments.

Helmut SCHMIDT	The Strange Properties of Psychokinesis	103-118
	Abstract: `This paper discusses evidence for a psychokinetic effect acting on chance events. Emphasis is laid on psychokinetic action on pre-recorded random processes and its interpretation in terms of two general hypotheses, the weak violation hypothesis, and the equivalence hypothesis. These hypotheses imply that psychokinesis can act on the outcome of indeterministic quantum events only, and that, basically, all such events are affected to the same degree.`

Richard F. HAINES	Analysis of a UFO Photograph	129-147
	Abstract: This report reviews various investigative activities and analyses surrounding a photograph of a purported unidentified flying object (UFO) taken on October 8, 1981 at about 11:OO a.m. local time on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The evidence consisted of a single frame of 35 mm color film which showed a sharply focused disc-like object against a clear blue sky with wooded mountain peak nearby. Analyses of the original negative included micro-densitometry, computer enhancements, and other measurements intent upon showing a support thread, atmospheric disturbance, or other evidences of a hoax. These analyses suggest that the disc was a three dimensional object located at a distance of at least 30 feet from the camera; the object's surface albedo was diffuse and of lower luminance than sunlit cloud. Extensive interviews with the photographer (who never saw the aerial object), her husband and daughter and site survey tended to support the entire narrative account. The identity of the disc object remains unidentified

Bruce MACCABEE	Analysis and Discussion of the Images of a Cluster of Periodically Flashing Lights Filmed Off the Coast of New Zealand	149-190
	Abstract: The New Zealand UFO sightings of December 3 1, 1978 are unique among civilian UFO reports because there is a large amount of the documentary evidence which includes the recollections of seven witnesses, two tape recordings made during the sightings, the detection of some unusual ground and airplane radar targets and a 16 mm color movie made with a professional camera. Of the several unidentified light sources that were filmed, one of the more interesting is the cluster of lights that oscillated periodically in intensity at a rate of about once per second. An analysis of the 279 frames of film which show about 30 cycles of the oscillation indicates that there were three lights which formed an isosceles triangle. The color of the light source at the apex was pale yellow or very pale orange (the exact shade is difficult to determine). The base of the triangle was formed by two red lights, side by side. The light at the apex oscillated over an intensity range which went from zero (no image) to such a large value that it greatly overexposed the film. The red lights also oscillated, but they were generally out of phase with the light at the apex and they did not get bright enough to overexpose the film. This paper presents some of the physical characteristics of the film images and a discussion of the visual and radar sighting, which, it is argued, took place at essentially the same time (i.e., within a minute or so) as the filming. A number of explanations have been suggested for the film of the flashing light. The explanations are analyzed and reasons for rejecting them are presented. As yet no explanation in terms of known phenomena has been proposed that satisfactorily explains the film.

	Abstract: The question here at issue is whether there are any paranormal claims that deserve to be taken at face value. The two main grounds for skepticism are: (a) that they are incompatible with the prevailing scientific world view and (b) that the evidence is inadequate. Neither of these two objections, however, is fatal. Hence the impasse. If it is the case that there are no paranormal phenomena it is unlikely that this impasse will ever be broken if only because so many people are convinced that they have had personal experience of such phenomena. If, on the other hand, paranormal phenomena do exist, the impasse could well be broken provided that certain conditions were fulfilled. At present we still have no assurance that such conditions will ever be fulfilled.

Henry H. BAUER	Commonalities in Arguments Over Anomalies	1-11
	Abstract: There are a number of features that seem to be common to controversies about claimed anomalies. Foremost perhaps is the very fact of controversy. Typically, the anomaly runs counter to the expectations of established orthodoxy, and there is often a populist tone to the argument. Questions concerning the demarcation of science from pseudoscience and of epistemology in general are typically raised. It becomes important to distinguish between the pros and cons of a particular claim and what is said by the disputants; an examination of the ways in which belief and disbelief are distributed among various groups can be useful in clarifying the issues. It is also vital that one distinguish between the occurrence and the reporting of events. As with interdisciplinary work, it is problematic to establish what parts of existing knowledge might be relevant; and anomalies bring to attention large and sometimes unsuspected areas of ignorance. There are pitfalls in assuming that anomalies with superficial similarities have any functional or necessary relation to one another. The manner in which anomalies are perceived is clearly influenced by contemporary science and by contemporary societal beliefs. For many reasons that go far beyond the possible reality of any given anomalous claim, then, the study of anomalies can be interesting and enlightening.

Jacques VALLÉE	Remote Viewing and Computer Communications-An Experiment	13-27
	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 4 Number 2 /1990 - Comments on Remote Viewing and Computer Communications-An Experiment
	Abstract: A series of remote viewing experiments were run with 12 partic- ipants who communicated through a computer conferencing network. These participants, who were located in various regions of the United States and Canada, used portable terminals in their homes and offices to provide typed descriptions of 10 mineral samples. These samples were divided into an open series and a double-blind series. A panel of five judges was asked to match the remote viewing descriptions against the mineral samples by a percentage scoring system. The correct target sample was identified in 8 out of 33 cases: this represents more than double the pure chance expectation. Two experienced users provided 20 transcripts for which the probability of achieving the observed distribution of the percentage score by chance was 0.04. These results confirm earlier reports of successful remote viewing exper- iments while extending them to cases in which participants were thousands of miles away from each other and in which the targets were mineral samples of potential economic significance, with control of communica- tions provided by a computer network.

Michel GAUQUELIN	Is There a Mars Effect?	29-51
	Abstract: The so-called "Mars Effect" is discussed in a larger context. The phenomenon refers to a significant tendency for champion athletes to have been born at the time of either the rise or the upper culmination of the planet Mars. The populations and samples, methodology and its develop ment are described along with earlier and more recent findings. Control studies and replications by others are reported in some detail. Particular attention is paid to certain basic and procedural criticisms and the problem of bias or artifacts. The current scientific status of the issue is reviewed in light of sevenl kinds of empirical evidence that has accumulated over the past three decades. The question raised in the title of the paper is answered in the affirmative.

Suitbert ERTEL	Raising the Hurdle for the Athletes Mars Effect:Association Co-Varies With Eminence	53-82
	Abstract: By 1955, Michel Gauquelin had begun to publicize the claim that famous athletes are born with frequencies far beyond chance at times when Mars is rising over the Earth's horizon ("key sector I") or when the planet crosses the meridian ("key sector 11"). Critics did not succeed in refuting this claim empirically: The "Mars effect" survived three such at- tempts. It was largely doubts over the impeccability of M. and F. Gauque- lin's data base, however, which kept researchers from pursuing the problem further. The present study incorporates the entire repertoire of birth data of athletes available to date (N = 4391). The objective is to test the alleged planetary correlation as a function of degree of sportive eminence, the latter being determined by citation counts. It is contended that this procedure is superior to Gauquelin's own; and that the predicted eminence function could hardly be expected to materialize in case his former results were due to biased data treatment. Findings corroborate the eminence prediction: The proportion of athletes born at Mars key sector hours increases from the lowest to the highest of five ranks of sporting eminence; the trend is highly significant (p < .005) by several criteria. It is concluded that Gauquelin's hypothesis, after having passed this crucial examination, deserves the most thorough attention.

Henry H. BAUER	Arguments Over Anomalies: II. Polemics	1-14
	Abstract: Arguments over different anomalies have common elements. An awareness of those commonalities can be useful in considering the possible reality of a particular anomaly. As in all arguments, beliefs and not facts are at issue; but the participants do not recognize that, and so red henings abound and opponents are not persuaded. Again as in all disputes, the longer the disagreement persists, the more polarized the issue becomes, which further encourages the antagonists to become preoccupied with irrelevancies. Within science, disputes are to some degree constrained by the existence of a widely shared paradigm and by widely accepted conventions, supported by entrenched institutions and by consensus over how and when disputes become settled; but arguments over anomalies are not so constrained: they are messy and may continue long after they-on purely epistemic grounds-"should". Insofar as arguments over anomalies take place in the public domain, they involve not only proponents and opponents but also pundits and an audience; however, a purported pundit may behave more like a disbeliever (or, more rarely, like a proponent). Some features of these arguments result from the fact that the believers are usually amateurs (though they commonly include a few maverick experts in the presumptively relevant fields of mainstream science). Although most of the experts tend to be disbelievers or at least non-believers in a given anomaly, the converse is by no means true-most of the disbelievers have little or no expertise in related areas, and they may not even be particularly knowledgeable about the given anomaly. Typically, both sides claim that the evidence is already conclusive when-virtually by definition-it is evidently not. Believers tend to close ranks, even with quite unwelcome bedfellows, for fear that their subject will seem even less respectable if the existence of frauds or hoaxes or incompetence becomes widely known; and that enhances the tendency for outsiders to view the believers as unanimous on all major points, which is anything but true. Both sides (and also the pundits) typically appeal to the authority of science; and typically they misunderstand the nature of science. Also characteristic of these arguments is ignorance of matters that (but only by hindsight) are highly relevant.

Robert G. JAHN	Anomalies: Analysis and Aesthetics	15-26
	Abstract: In properly allying itself with traditional scientific tenets and procedures, anomalies research also risks encumbrance by scientific stodginess, scientific segregation, and scientific secularity. In particular, the contemporary rejection by established science of its own metaphysical heritage and essence precludes its further evolution into physical and biological domains where consciousness plays demonstrably active roles. Some orderly rapprochement of subjective and objective experience and representation within the scientific paradigm will be required to make it effective in such arenas.

Carlos S. ALVARADO	Trends in the study of Out-of-Body Experiences: An Overview of Developments Since the Nineteenth Century	27-42
	Abstract: -A review of conceptual and research trends in the literature on out-of-body experiences is presented for the period of mid-nineteenth century to 1987. The discussion emphasizes psychological, psychiatric, and parapsychological publications. The material shows recurrent topics, but there are also some differences, particularly regarding more detailed conceptual discussions and a higher frequency of research projects in recent times. Systematic research and testable theories have been presented mainly in the last two decades. This may be related to the revival of interest in cognitive variables and altered states of consciousness in psychology during the same time period.

William BRAUD, Marilyn SCHLITZ	A Methodology for the Objective Study of Transpersonal Imagery	43-63
	Abstract: Abundant methodologies already exist for the study ofpreverbal imagery, in which one's imagery acts upon one's own cellular, biochemical, and physiological activity. This paper reports a new methodology for the objective study of transpersonal imagery, in which one person's imagery may influence the physical reactions of another person. The method involves the instructed generation of specific imagery by one person and the concurrent measurement of psychophysiological changes in another person who is isolated in a distant room to eliminate all conventional sensorimotor communication. Thirteen experiments were conducted using this methodology. A significant relationship was found between the calming or activating imagery of one person and the electrodermal activity of another person who was isolated at a distance (overall z = 4.08, p = .000023, mean effect size = 0.29). Potential artifacts which might account for the results are considered and discounted. The findings demonstrate reliable and relatively robust anomalous interactions between living systems at a distance. The effects may be interpreted as instances of an anomalous "causal" influence by one person directly upon the physiological activity of another person. An alternative interpretation is one of an anomalous informational process, combined with unconscious physiological self-regulation on the part of the influenced person. Additional research is being conducted in an attempt to increase our understanding of the processes involved, as well as to learn the various physical, physiological and psychological factors that may increase or decrease the likelihood of occurrence of the effect

Ian STEVENSON, Satwant PASRICHA, Nicholas McCLEAN-RICE	A Case of the Possession Type in India With Evidence of Paranormal Knowledge	81-101
	Abstract: A young married woman, Sumitra, in a village of northern India, apparently died and then revived. After a period of confusion she stated that she was one Shiva who had been murdered in another village. She gave enough details to permit verification of her statements, which corresponded to facts in the life of another young married woman called Shiva. Shiva had lived in a place about 100 km away, and she had died violently there-either by suicide or murder-about two months before Sumitra's apparent death and revival. Subsequently, Sumitra recognized 23 persons (in person or in photographs) known to Shiva. She also showed in several respects new behavior that accorded with Shiva's personality and attainments. For example, Shiva's family were Brahmins (high caste), whereas Sumitra's were Thakurs (second caste); after the change in her personality Sumitra showed Brahmin habits that were strange in her family. Extensive interviews with 53 informants satisfied the investigators that the families concerned had been, as they claimed, completely unknown to each other before the case developed and that Sumitra had had no normal knowledge of the people and events in Shiva's life. The authors conclude that the subject demonstrated knowledge of another person's life obtained paranormally.

Thomas GOLD	New Ideas in Science	103-112
	Abstract: `The pace of scientific work continues to accelerate, but the question is whether the pace of discovery will continue to accelerate. If we were driving in the wrong direction-in the direction where no new ideas can be accepted-then even if scientific work goes on, the progress would be stifled. This is not to suggest that we are in quite such a disastrous position, but on the other hand, not all is well.`

Richard F. HAINES, Jacques F. VALLÉE	Photo Analysis of an Aerial Disc Over Costa Rica	113-131
	Abstract: n unusual image was photographically recorded by an official mapping aircraft of the Costa Rican government at 08:25 am (EDT) on September 4, 197 1 while flying at 10,000 feet altitude over a body of water known as Lago de Cote. None of the flight crew or photographers saw the object. Second generation negative and positive black and white transparencies were obtained and analyzed by the authors. Both transparencies were photographically enlarged and printed on various contrast papers for purposes of making visual inspections and linear measurements. Computer enhancement showed variations in surface brightness. The preceding frame, taken 20 seconds earlier of the same ground region, did not show the disc. The angular position of the sun was determined for the date, time and location of the event and was found to be consistent with cloud shadow positions but not with the dark regions on the disc. A shadow of the disc could not be found. The oval image measured 4.2 mm on the negative and was enlarged to 41 mm (9.76 X magnification). If the disc was located 10,000 feet away from the camera, its maximum dimension would be 2 10 meters (683 feet). The various analyses failed to identify the image. The same body of water was the site of a visual observation of a partially submerged object on October 25, 1986.

Antonia MILLS	A Replication Study: Three Cases of Children in Northern India Who Are Said to Remember a Previous Life	133-184
	Abstract: This replication of Ian Stevenson's studies of spontaneous cases suggestive of reincarnation presents data from 3 of the 10 cases investigated by the author in northern India during 5 weeks in the summers of 1987 and 1988. The purpose of the study was to see if an independent investigator, following Stevenson's methods, would reach conclusions similar to his. Stevenson reports that the numerous cases in which a child speaks and acts from the point of view of a verifiable but deceased person about whom the child could not have normally known are best explained as cases suggestive of reincarnation. With one possible exception the author was satisfied that the cases she studied were not cases of deceit or self-deceit, although she noted that acceptance of the concept of reincarnation played a part in the diagnosis and unfolding of the case. While in some instances the child said no more than could be presumed to be known by the parents, in other cases the child's accurate and intense identification with someone unknown to the parents indicates something paranormal has taken place.

Dean I. RADIN	Searching for "Signatures" in Anomalous Human-Machine Interaction Data: A Neural Network Approach	185-200
	Abstract: An artificial neural network was used to explore whether unique "signatures" could be found in data collected in experiments studying the effect of intention on the statistical behavior of random number generators. Results showed that a network trained with a back-propagation technique was able to learn to associate 32 different individuals with the data they generated, then successfully transfer that knowledge to new data. It is recommended that similar experiments studying anomalous human-machine interactions should attempt to identify person-specific patterns in data in addition to measuring the magnitude of effects; parallel processing analysis techniques are also recommended.

	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 4 Number 1 /1990 - Comments on Stevenson's "A Case of Severe Birth Defects Possibly Due to Cursing"
	Abstract: For centuries it was widely believed that a strong unpleasant shock to a pregnant woman could cause birth defects in her baby. Medical books and journals published numerous cases of this type up to the early decades of the present century. The idea of "maternal impression" gradually lost ground during the 18th and 19th centuries, mainly because it seemed to conflict with the facts of physiology. In cases of "maternal impression," the pregnant mother was usually reported to have viewed someone with a shocking deformity that her baby was said to reproduce. It has also been thought that cursing, verbally inflicted and without a visual stimulus, could produce birth defects. Three cases of this type, one published by a pediatrician in 1960, are briefly reviewed, and then a new case is reported. In both of the modem cases, the commonly recognized etiological factors in birth defects could not be identified.

Michel C. L. BOUNIAS	Biochemical Traumatology as a Potent Tool for Identifying Actual Stresses Elicited by Unidentified Sources: Evidence for Plant Metabolic Disorders in Correlation With a UFO Landing	1-18
	Abstract: Following an accurate testimony of a "UFO" landing, samples of a wild strain of Alfalfa were collected at the epicentre and at various increasing distances of the trace left on the ground 4 and 40 days after the observation. An additional batch of similar samples collected 730 days after the observation was then used as an a posteriori control of the natural variability on the same area. Biochemical determinations included: photosynthetic pigments, free carbohydrates, and free amino acids. Statistically, significant results were observed by plotting concentrations versus distances from the epicentre, and various characteristic subtypes of doseleffect relationships were evidenced. Functional relationships between photosynthetic pigments, amino acids and carbohydrates, were reversed at D + 40 by comparison with D + 730 samples which exhibited a normal shape. Thus, the described principles of Biochemical analysis give evidence: (a) that something did happen; (b) that the influence of the unidentified source decreased with increasing distance from the epicentre; (c) of accurate symptoms that can be further compared with those elicited by known causes.

Jacques F. VALLÉE	Return to Trans-en-Provence	19-25
	(French translation OVNI Présence N. 46 Aout/1991 Retour à Trans-en-Provence, pp. 5-10)
	Abstract: The site of the 198 1 Trans-en-Provence UFO case was visited again during 1988. Soil samples taken at the time of the initial investigation were analyzed in an American laboratory in an effort to validate the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) study of the case. The results of the interviews with the witness and his wife, and the examination of samples taken at the surface and below the surface of the physical trace support the findings of the CNES team and the truthfulness of the witness' testimony. In particular, it was found that the surface sample only differed from the depth sample by the presence of biological (plant and insect) material on the surface. Calcium and silicon were the dominant elements in all fields examined, with aluminum and iron also present. No indication was found of cement powder, oil, or chemical contaminants that could have indicated the presence of tractors or other industrial vehicles at the site.

Jean-jacques VELASCO	Report on the Analysis of Anomalous Physical Traces: The 1981 Trans-en-Provence UFO Case	27-48
	Abstract: Following information received through law enforcement channels, the Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena Study Group (GEPAN) of the French National Center for Space Studies decided to investigate an observation of an unusual flying object made on 8 January 1981. The witness reported that the phenomenon had left a circular imprint on the ground. Samples gathered within this "ring" were independently analyzed by four laboratories and were compared to reference samples collected outside the trace. These analyses led to the conclusion that a significant physical phenomenon had indeed interacted with the environment at the site, producing abrasions, thermal impact and unexplained effects on plants.

John S. DERR, Michael A. PERSINGER	Luminous Phenomena and Seismic Energy in the Central United States	55-69
	Abstract: Luminous phenomena (LP) that occur in seismically active regions appear to be temporally related to seismicity, even when the LP are not obviously earthquake lights (EQL). Within a time frame that required aggregates of monthly or annual increments of analyses, moderately strong (0.50 < r < 0.75) correlations existed over a 19 year period between the amount of seismic energy released and the numbers of reported LP within a central region of the United States. Other anomalous reports from the same data base were not significantly correlated with the energy release. Neither LP nor the other classes of anomalous events were significantly correlated with the release of seismic energy in the surrounding region that contained comparable area and seismicity. Thus, some types of reports of LP may be geophysical phenomena that reflect the temporal and spatial characteristics of tectonic strai

Case files contained information on the volunteers' life histories, full-face and profile photographs, and test profiles from the Strong-Campbell Vocational Interest Blank and the Cattell 16-P.F. Personality Inventory. Astrologers did no better than chance or than a nonastrologer control subject at matching the birth charts to the personal data; this result was independent of astrologers' confidence ratings for their predicted matches. Astrologers also failed to agree with one another's predictions.

	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 6 Number 3 Autumn/1992 - The Gauquelin Effect Explained? Comments on Arno Miiller's Hypothesis of Planetary Correlations [Ertel, Suitbert]
	Abstract: Starting points are the investigations of the Gauquelins into planetary influences on human beings and the attempt at a scientific explanation by Michel Gauquelin. Aside from the fact that so far no physical link connecting planets and human behavior has been discovered, there are six other facts that resist integration into Gauquelin's explanatary model. In the model put up for discussion here, which includes not only physical and hereditary, but also cultural-historical, psychological, and evolutionary aspects, these critical points are reconciled with reality and at the same time the physical problems are simplified.

Jacques F. VALLÉE	Five Arguments Against the Extraterrestrial Origin of Unidentified Flying Objects	105-117
	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 4 Number 2 /1990 - Comments on Vallee's Five Arguments Against the Extraterrestrial Origin of Unidentified Flying Objects
	Abstract: Scientific opinion has generally followed public opinion in the belief that unidentified flying objects either do not exist (the "natural phenomena hypothesis") or, if they do, must represent evidence of a visitation by some advanced race of space travellers (the extraterrestrial hypothesis or "ETH"). It is the view of the author that research on UFOs need not be restricted to these two alternatives. On the contrary, the accumulated data base exhibits several patterns tending to indicate that UFOs are real, represent a previously unrecognized phenomenon, and that the facts do not support the common concept of "space visitors." Five specific arguments articulated here contradict the ETH: (1) unexplained close encounters are far more numerous than required for any physical survey of the earth; (2) the humanoid body structure of the alleged "aliens" is not likely to have originated on another planet and is not biologically adapted to space travel; (3) the reported behavior in thousands of abduction reports contradicts the hypothesis of genetic or scientific experimentation on humans by an advanced race; (4) the extension of the phenomenon throughout recorded human history demonstrates that UFOs are not a contemporary phenomenon; and (5) the apparent ability of UFOs to manipulate space and time suggests radically different and richer alternatives, three of which are proposed in outline form as a conclusion to this paper.

William BRAMLEY	Can the UFO Extraterrestrial Hypothesis and Vallee Hypotheses Be Reconciled?	3-9
	Abstract: The phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) presently affords analysts only pieces of a hereto unknown whole reality. Because the whole is not seen or understood, the visible pieces often appear to be irreconcilable with one another and lead to hypotheses which are in conflict. The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) and the hypotheses of Dr. Jacques Vallee (the "Vallee Hypotheses")(VH) represent two such divergent hypotheses. Through analogy to processes and realities that we do understand, it is possible to begin reconciling the evidence of those who support the ETH and those who support the VH. In doing so, we find that the evidence presented in support of the VH does not necessarily compel exclusion of the ETH; but it does demand an acceptance that the UFO phenomenon presents analysts with s~mething of far broader scope in its scientific, social, and historical dimensions than many supporters of the ETH have acknowledged

Robert DOMAINGUE	Learning for Discovery: Establishing the Foundations	11-22
	Abstract: This article examines the prospect of facilitating the discovery process. The approach to learning for discovery which this article takes is called anticipatory learning. Anticipatory learning seeks to facilitate the discovery process by enhancing abilities in pattern recognition, empathy, and collaboration among researchers. Pattern recognition is developed in researchers through intuitive and metaphorical thinking. Metaphors which emerge from general systems thinking and aesthetics are especially useful for enhancing pattern recognition abilities.


York H. DOBYNS	On the Bayesian Analysis of REG Data	23-45
	Abstract: -Bayesian analysis may profitably be applied to anomalous data obtained in Random Event Generator and similar humadmachine experiments, but only by proceeding from sensible prior probability estimates. Unreasonable estimates or strongly conflicting initial hypotheses can project the analysis into contradictory and misleading results. Depending upon the choice of prior and other factors, the results of Bayesian analysis range from confirmation of classical analysis to complete disagreement, and for this reason classical estimates seem more reliable for the interpretation of data of this class.

M. W. HO, S. ROSS, H. BOLTON, F. A. POPP, X. X. LI	Electrodynamic Activities and Their Role in the Organization of Body Pattern	59-77
	Abstract: This paper reports some of the highlights of our investigations (both published and in progress) into the role of electrodynamical activities in the organization of body pattern in Drosophila. 1. Exposure of populations of synchronously developing embryos for 30 minutes to weak static magnetic fields (0.5 to 9 mT) during the first three hours of development results in a high proportion of characteristic body pattern abnormalities in larvae which hatch 24 hours later. As the energies involved are below thermal threshold, there can be no significant effect unless there is a high degree of cooperativity or coherence in the pattern determination processes reacting to the external field (Ho et al., 1991a). 2. Developing embryos show profuse electrical activities (recorded with microelectrodes placed within the polar pockets) starting at least as early as 40 m after fertilization and continuing well into cellularization. The activities are highly patterned, and evolve in the course of development. They may reflect changes in polarization of the embryonic field associated with the coherent excitations predicted by Frohlich (1 968; 1980). 3. Populations of synchronously developing embryos show self-emission and light rescattering characteristics that also change with developmental time. In addition, embryos less than 40 m old exhibit an entirely new phenomenon in the form of intense luminescent flashes which can appear any time from one to 20 minutes, and up to 8 hours after light stimulation. These superdelayed luminescent flashes may result from cooperative interactions among embryos within the entire population, which serve to synchronize development to external light as Zeitgeber (Ho et al., 199 1 b).

Rhea A. WHITE	Review of Approaches to the Study of Spontaneous Psi Experiences	93-126
	Abstract: -Twelve approaches to the study of spontaneous psi experiences are described: individual case study, case collection, survey, cross-cultural, longitudinal, clinical, psychological, phenomenological, archetypal, folklorist, active imagination, and social constructionist. The review begins with the older and more commonly used approaches. Although all 12 methods have been reported in the literature, the primary ones used thus far in parapsychology are the individual case study, the case collection, the cross cultural, the survey, and to a lesser extent, the clinical. The others have barely been tried, yet if given a fair trial, they might prove to be more useful ways of learning to understand the nature of spontaneous psi experiences than the first three, although the latter will always be useful for different purposes. In general, the more commonly used methods aim at establishing that the experiences occurred as reported and at delimiting the characteristics of the cases and details of their incidence. The lesser used methods are aimed at understanding the personal (and sometimes general) meaning of experiential accounts of psi experiences. Throughout the author has also interjected her own personal views of which approaches are to be preferred at this time, and why.


Stephen E. BRAUDE	Survival or Super-psi?	127-144
	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 6 Number 3 Autumn/1992 - Comments on Survival or Super-psi?
	Abstract: Even the most sophisticated discussions of the evidence for survival underestimate the conceptual difficulties facing the survival hypothesis. Perhaps the major challenge is posed by the rival "super-psi" hypothesis, which most writers fail to confront in its most plausible and potent form. Once the super-psi hypothesis is taken seriously, two major weaknesses in discussions of survival stand out clearly. First, analyses of apparently anomalous knowledge that tend to be fatally superficial in their treatment of subject psychodynamics. And second, analyses of apparently anomalous abilities and skills trade on an impoverished and naive conception of the nature of human abilities.

Loftur Reimar GISSURARSON	The Psychokinesis Effect: Geomagnetic Influence, Age and Sex Differences	157-165
	Abstract: Data from 621 experimental sessions carried out in Scotland, United States and Iceland were retrospectively analyzed for a possible connection between psychokinesis (PK) performance and local geomagnetic activity (Kindex). Although the study did not find any significant correlation between geomagnetic activity and overall PK performance, the difference in geomagnetic activity on the day prior to the experimental sessions (split via high and low PK score) was marginally significant (p = .08, 2-T). The compound PK effect in the data base yielded a nonsignificant z-score deviation from MCE of 1.27, with a distribution significantly different from a normal distribution (p=.01, 2-T). Furthermore, males did significantly better than females (p= .04, 2-T), and the youngest subjects did marginally better than the oldest subjects (p = .098,2-T).

Satwant PASRICHA	Are Reincarnation Type Cases Shaped by Parental Guidance? An Empirical Study Concerning the Limits of Parents' Influence on Children	167-180
	Abstract: The author conducted a systematic survey of cases of the reincarnation type in a region of northern India with an estimated population of 861 1 persons. The 91 respondents informed about 19 cases, suggesting a prevalence rate of 2.2 per thousand in this area. In addition to the characteristics of the cases, the author learned about the range and extent of dissemination of information about such cases. Information regarding the occurrence of particular cases traveled a maximum distance of 75 kilometers; in 94% of the cases it never went beyond 25 kilometers. Information about the factual details of cases traveled even shorter distances. Cases occurring within the same family or the same village showed considerable variations in important features, making it unlikely that cases developed later had been modeled on ones occurring earlier.

Brenda J. DUNNE, Robert G. JAHN	Experiments in Remote Human/Machine Interaction	311-332
	Abstract: Several extensive experimental studies of humanlmachine interactions wherein the human operators and the target machines are separated by distances of up to several thousand miles yield anomalous results comparable in scale and character to those produced under conditions of physical proximity. The output distributions of random binary events produced by a variety of microelectronic random and pseudorandom generators, as well as by a macroscopic random mechanical cascade, display small but replicable and statistically significant mean shifts correlated with the remote operators' pre-stated intentions, and feature cumulative achievement patterns similar to those of the corresponding local experiments. Individual operator effect sizes distribute normally, with the majority of participants contributing to the overall effect. Patterns of specific count populations are also similar to those found in the corresponding local experiments. The insensitivity of the size and details of these results to intervening distance and time adds credence to a large database of precognitive remote perception experiments, and suggests that these two forms of anomaly may draw from similar mechanisms of information exchange between human consciousness and random physical processes.

S. JEFFERS, J. SLOAN	A Low Light Level Diffraction Experiment for Anomalies Research	333-352
	Abstract: Some interpretations of quantum mechanics assert an active role for human consciousness in actualizing the results of measurements on quantum systems. At the same time, some empirical studies have claimed positive results in testing the abilities of human subjects to bias randomly generated events i.e. those governed by Gaussian statistics. Experiments have been conducted using a different probability distribution i.e. the digitally recorded diffracted light intensity from a single slit. This normalized distribution is conventionally interpreted as the probability of locating a photon in a specified location in the observation plane. Human subjects have been invited to attempt to bias this distribution in a prescribed way. The experiment is tightly controlled against any artifacts generating very high data rates with high statistical accuracy. Calibrations show that any displacement of the diffraction pattern relative to the detector of order 1.6 X 10.~ cms should be detectable. Of twenty subjects tested, none has produced a detectable displacement corresponding to this upper limit. Introducti

Ian STEVENSON	A New Look at Maternal Impressions: An Analysis of 50 Published Cases and Reports of Two Recent Examples	353-373
	Abstract: -The idea that a pregnant woman may be so frightened by the sight of some deformity on another person that her baby will be affected by a similar defect is widely believed in most parts of the world today; it was also generally believed in the West until the early years of this century. The skepticism that then developed may have derived from lack of an explanatory principle and not from lack of evidence for a significant correspondence between stimulus and birthmark or birth defect. The present paper summarizes the main features of 50 published cases in which an unusual stimulus to a pregnant woman was followed by the birth of a baby with unusual birthmarks or birth defects that nearly always corresponded closely to the stimulus the pregnant mother had received. Two recent cases that the author investigated are presented. The author concludes that in rare instances maternal impressions may indeed affect gestating babies and cause birth defects. Almost nothing is known about why such effects occur in some pregnancies, but only rarely, or about the implementing processes involved. These may be paranormal.

D. P. Wirth et al.	The Effect of Alternative Healing Therapy on the Regeneration Rate of Salamander Forelimbs	375-390
	Abstract: -The following experiment examined the effect of noncontact therapeutic touch (NCTT) on the regeneration rate of salamander forelimbs surgically amputated through the distal third of the stylopodium. A total of 154 newts, Notophthalmus viridescens, were used and limb regeneration was assessed using two criteria: (1) the time to first finger differentiation, and (2) the time to fourth finger differentiation. The experiment was divided into two sections. For section #I, four NCTT healers worked individually under three separate conditions in a specially designed laboratory. The conditions were: (1) treatment through an opening in the wall, (2) treatment through smoked opaque glass, and (3) treatment through smoked opaque glass and plastic. For section #2, the four individual healers were paired, with each pair working together on a tank of newts situated directly in front of them. The results for section #1 showed that: (I) Healer 1 obtained nonsignificance for all three conditions at both the first and fourth finger differentiation stages, (2) Healer 2 obtained significance for all three conditions at both differentiation stages, (3) Healer 3 obtained significance for condition 1 only at both differentiation stages, and (4) Healer 4 obtained significance for conditions 2 and 3 at both differentiation stages. For section #2, only the pair of Healer 1-Healer 3 obtained significant results (p < .002). The data, therefore, suggest that NCTT may have the potential to accelerate the rate of regeneration of newt forelimbs surgically amputated through the distal third of the humerus

Wiilis W. HARMAN	Towards an Adequate Epistemology for the Scientific Exploration of Consciousness	133-143
	Abstract: The scientific exploration of phenomena and experience relating to consciousness (a category which includes many "anomalous" phenomena) has long been hampered by two obstacles. One is that subjective experience does not meet the commonly accepted criteria for data in a scientific analysis, in that it is not public, objective, and replicable. The other is that many consciousness-related phenomena do not appear to fit comfortably into the accepted scientific worldview. Scientists have improvised ways of dealing with these two obstacles, so that for much of practical science (e.g., research on pain) they don't get in the way. Nevertheless, the situation can hardly be considered satisfactory. Two concepts have recently come to light which may help liberate us from this predicament-one new, the other revived from the respected writings of American philosopher William James. The first, based on recent work by Max Velmans, involves a different model of perception; the second, referring back to James' concept of "radical empiricism," proposes a different criterion for admission of scientific data.


Suitbert ERTEL	Puzzling Eminence Effects Might Make Good Sense	145-154
	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 7 Number 4 /1993 - Comments on Suitbert Ertel's Puzzling Eminence Might Make Good Sense
	Abstract: -According to Gauquelin's eminence hypothesis, planetary effects increase with increasing professional renown. The author's former findings, however, did not always support this hypothesis. In some cases planetary ef- fects went down, or first up and then down, with increasing eminence. Miiller's recent unexpected results with very eminent professionals, which showed a considerable weakening of planetary effects instead of an amplifi- cation, gave rise to the hypothesis that the relationship of planetary effects to eminence might be curvilinear, instead of linear, across all planets and profes- sions. Thus previous results suggesting linear relationships might have been due to restricted eminence sampling. By extending the analyses to athletes (olympic medallists), scientists, and actors covering a wider range of emi- nence, marked curvilinear patterns did in fact emerge.

Satwant PASRICHA	A Systematic Survey of Near-Death Experiences in South India	161-171
	Abstract: -In order to determine the prevalence rate of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) in south India, the author systematically surveyed four villages with a total population of 6430 persons. Eighteen persons were reported to have died (or nearly died) and revived. Thirteen (72%) of them reported having had NDEs which is about 2 cases per thousand of the population surveyed. Eleven features of the south Indian cases are compared with the features of north Indian cases. Most of the principal features of the south Indian cases resemble those reported from north India. However, they also differed in the frequencies of four features; two of the features were reported chiefly by the north Indian subjects while another two only by the south Indian subjects. All these four features have been reported among American cases. The author suggests the possibility of a genuine phenomenon underlying the similarities of features among cases in two different cultures.

Of the three photographs taken at this location the last one included a strange object. This photo ultimately became the focus of a controversy among UFO investigators and has been the subject of numerous articles as well as a book. In this paper we present a chronicle of the author's investigation of this intriguing photo as well as an explanation of the true nature of the object in the photo

	Abstract: `Refereed journals, to which scientists turn for their reliable information, carry virtually no information on the UFO problem. Does this imply that scientists have no views and no thoughts on the subject, or that all scientists consider it insignificant? Does it imply that scientists have no reports to submit comparable with UFO reports published in newspapers and popular books? The purpose of this 1977 survey of American astronomers was to answer these questions.`

Jacques F. VALLÉE	Anatomy of a Hoax: The Philadelphia Experiment Fifty Years Later	47-71
	Abstract: The "Philadelphia Experiment" concerns the allegedly paranormal disappearance of a Navy destroyer from the docks of the Philadelphia Navy Yard in the late Summer of 1943, followed by disclosures of official contact with extraterrestrial powers. Claims made by purported witnesses of this supposedly secret Navy test directed by Albert Einstein have been repeatedly found to be fraudulent. The author has now interviewed a man who served on a companion ship to the destroyer in question, and who was on the scene the night of its supposed disappearance, which he is able to explain in minute detail. Yet the features of the story are such that it survives in the UFO literature and that it is now being revived under a novel form for the benefit of a new generation of readers. Using this incident as a model of a successful hoax, the present article extracts thirteen parameters that have been instrumental in its remarkable survival over the last fifty years; it compares the features of this fabrication to other questionable episodes of UFO lore; finally, it attempts to draw up a list of suitable measures for their detection, challenge and ultimate exposure.

Larry DOSSEY	Healing and the Mind: Is There a Dark Side?	73-90
	Abstract: Although intra- and interpersonal intluences have long been acknowledged in medical science to affect an individual's health both positively and negatively, the impact of non-local, transpersonal influences are generally denied in contemporary medical science. The present paper examines anecdotal, ethnographic, anthropological, clinical, and experimental evidence suggesting that non-local, transpersonal influences may exist, and that these may exert a negative and even fatal impact on human health. The possible relationship of these negative influences to scientific findings in other anomalous areas, such as the studies in humanlmachine interaction at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Laboratory, are discussed. The author concludes that the evidence favoring the existence of non-local, negative, transpersonal influences is considerable, and that the implications for medical research and clinical practice are profound.

	Abstract: Six well-documented UFO abductions reported in Spain are reviewed. Investigation reveals them to be the result of hoax, delusion or psychosis. On a global scale, the annual distribution of abductions plotted according to year of report shows clusters associated with media-related triggers. Abduction narratives seem to proceed from internal sources, representing non-physical experiences of psychological origin inspired by publicized material, plus a significant number of hoaxes. A danger exists that the abduction syndrome may get out of hand.

	Abstract: After two decades of parapsychological research, my purpose in writing this essay is to encourage researchers who are interested in understanding psychic phenomena to look for ways to have ESP experiences themselves. In no other field do experienced and thoughtful researchers set up observational experiments, and then ask inexperienced or randomly chosen passersby to look through the microscope and report what they see. I will describe here some of the things that I have seen. I am a good visualizer. When I close my eyes I usually see reasonably sharp and clear pictures. The bad news is that the images that I see with my eyes open are not much sharper or clearer, although they are much more stable. I would like to share my thoughts about psi perceptions, from the point of view of a legally blind researcher. What that means in my case is that my corrected visual resolution is ten percent of that of a person with normal vision.

	Abstract: `Refereed journals, to which scientists turn for their reliable information, carry virtually no information on the UFO problem. Does this imply that scientists have no views and no thoughts on the subject, or that all scientists consider it insignificant? Does it imply that scientists have no reports to submit comparable with UFO reports published in newspapers and popular books? The purpose of this survey was to answer these questions.`

Bruce MACCABEE	Strong Magnetic Field Detected Following a Sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object	347-365
	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 9 Number 2 /1995 - Comments on Magnetic Field Detection Associated with a UFO
	Abstract: Following the brief sighting of an unidentified flying object in Gulf Breeze, Florida in September 1992, investigators made an area search using a fluxgate gradient magnetometer and found a strong magnetic field gradient, indicative of a strong source of magnetic field, which appeared to be at or above the tops of some trees near a small pond. Three circles of depressed grass were found in the bottom of the shallow pond. This paper discusses the sighting, the area search, the circles and the field gradient measurements. An estimate of the field strength is presented and compared with magnetic effects associated with other sightings.

	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 8 Number 4 /1994 - Further Comments on the Unreliability of Home Blood Glucose Monitors
	Abstract: The effect of Noncontact Therapeutic Touch (NCTT) therapy and Intercessory Prayer (IP) on patient determined insulin dosage was examined in an exploratory pilot study which utilized a randomized, double-blind, within subject, crossover design. Sixteen type I diabetes mellitus patients were examined and treated daily by NCTT and IP healers for a duration of two weeks. Each patient underwent two separate sessions-one in the treatment condition and one in the control condition-with the patients crossing over to the opposite condition for the second session. The results indicated that while 11 of the 16 patients (69%) in the treatment group showed a reduction in insulin dose levels as compared to the control group, the difference in insulin dosage did not reach significance. It is suggested that various methodological considerations may have been important contributing factors in the nonsignificant results obtained including: (1) the utilization of insulin dose instead of objectively measured laboratory blood glucose values as the dependent variable, (2) the four foot distance and mirrored glass barrier between healer and patient, (3) the short duration for treatment and control sessions, (4) the experimental instructions advising patients to adjust their caloric intake and expenditure prior to adjusting their insulin dose, and (5) the use of healthy longterm IDDM patients with a stable insulin dose who did not exhibit any diabetic sequelae.

Erlendur HARALDSSON, Joop M. HOUTKOOPER	Report on an Indian Swami Claiming to Materialize Objects: The Value and Limitations of Field Observations	381-397
	Abstract: In India there are frequent and widely accepted claims of materializations of objects or substances which are usually associated with the activities of religious persons, such as Hindu swamis, and are sometimes reported to occur during religious ceremonies. Such claims, if substantiated, could have a major influence on the development of the studies of anomalous phenomena. This report describes an attempt to investigate the claims concerning a little known swami, Gyatri Swami. The difficulties involved in working in a religious setting are described in order to demonstrate the limitations to which this sort of research is subject. Conclusions are left as much as possible to the reader, because these claims frequently warrant no clearcut verdict. However, in the case of Gyatri Swami we reached a negative conclusion regarding his claims.

	`Related:` Journal of Scientific Exploration Volume 9 Number 2 /1995 - Comment on McMinnville UFO Photos
	Abstract: `A series of four photographs of a disk-shaped object apparently flying in the sky was physically analyzed. Certain details led us to develop a mathematical model of the supposed trajectory. The model was validated by measurements on the photographs, which demonstrated that the disk was distant from the camera, flying along a straight and horizontal trajectory, and was not a fabrication`
R. D. Nelson et al.	A Linear Pendulum Experiment: Effects of Operator Intention on Damping Rate	471-489
	Abstract: An attractive pendulum consisting of a two-inch crystal ball suspended on a fused silica rod is the focus of an experiment to measure possible effects of conscious intention on an analog physical system. The pendulum is enclosed in a clear acrylic box, and provided with a computer controlled mechanical system to release it from the same starting height in repeated runs. A high speed binary counter registers interruptions of photodiode beams, to measure velocities at the nadir of the pendulum arc with microsecond accuracy. In runs of 100 swings, taking about three minutes, operators attempt to keep swings high, i.e. to decrease the damping rate (HI); to reduce swing amplitude, i.e. to increase the damping rate (LO); or to take an undisturbed baseline (BL). Over a total of 1545 sets, generated by 42 operators, the HI - LO difference is significant in the direction of intention for five individuals, and the difference between intention and baseline runs is significant and positive for five other operators. The overall HI - LO difference is reduced to non-significance by strong negative performances from several operators, four of whom have comparably large scores in the direction opposite to intention. Analysis of variance reveals significant internal structure in the database (main effects F,, ,,= 2.845, p = .025). Subset comparisons indicate that male operators tend to score higher than females, and that randomly instructed trials tend toward higher scores than volitional trials, especially for male operators. Trials generated with the operator in a remote location have a larger effect size than the local trials. While direct comparisons are not straightforward, it appears that effects of operator intention on the pendulum damping rate may be similar in magnitude and style to those in other humanlmachine interaction experiments. Although this result fails to support an experimental hypothesis that the analog nature of the pendulum experiment would engender larger effect sizes, it does confirm a basic similarity of consciousness effects across experiments using fundamentally different physical systems.
P. A. STURROCK	Applied Scientific Inference	491-508
	Abstract: The purpose of this article is to use the principles of scientific inference to provide guidance in evaluating complicated issues such as those raised by the study of anomalous phenomena. Specifically, the article presents a formalism (a "protocol") for organizing and combining the many judgments that must be made in the scientific evaluation of the relevant hypotheses. All judgments are to be expressed as probabilities, and the rules for combining probabilities are derived from Bayes' theorem. Setting up a problem in a manner that permits such an analysis can be helpful in imposing a structure and discipline upon the analysis, and also in exposing relevant questions that might otherwise have remained hidden. Furthermore, the introduction of probabilities makes it possible to put on a sound numerical basis such assertions as "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." One finds that extraordinary evidence can be built up from many (but not very many) items of unspectacular evidence, provided the items are truly independent. The proposed procedure permits a clear separation between a statement of initial prejudice and an evaluation of the significance of considered evidence. However, it would be even better to set out explicitly the considerations on which the prejudice is based, and to view those considerations as part of the evidence to be evaluated. The procedure also draws a clear separation between the roles and judgments of data analysts (who assign probabilities to specified statements, based on the evidence), and those of theorists (who assign probabilities to the same statements, based in turn on the considered hypotheses). In order to reach a consensus on any topic, it is recommended that probability estimates be made by teams of experts, all team-members being presented with the same data but acting independently, and procedures are proposed by which individual estimates may be combined to yield a consensus estimate.

	Abstract: `The mind-brain problem, which is still with us, raises the question as to whether the mind is no more than the idle side-effect of our brain processes or whether the mind can, in some degree, influence behavior. Here we rehearse the arguments on both sides plus some desperate recent attempts to eliminate mind altogether.`
