Brenda Dunne served for 28 years as laboratory manager of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program. With Robert G. Jahn, she is coauthor of Margins of Reality: The Role of Consciousness in the Physical World, Consciousness and the Source of Reality: The PEAR Odyssey, Quirks of the Quantum Mind, and Molecular Memories. She also served as coeditor of Filters and Reflections: Perspectives on Reality and Being and Biology: Is Consciousness the Life-Force. She currently serves as president of the International Consciousness Research Lab (ICRL). Her website is https://icrl.org/.

Here she describes details of the laboratory operations at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research program. A range of devices were studied. Differential effects were observed between male and female operators. Operators generally reported the greatest successes occurred when they were able to enter into a state of “resonance” with the devices. She also describes the academic politics at Princeton limiting the laboratory’s activities, as well as how the lab dealt with critical detractors.
