Marissa-Julia Jakob, Ph.D. student at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Germany presents a quantum-based solution to the hard problem of mind-matter interaction, exploring how one’s unconscious thoughts may affect the outcome of their reality.

Dr. Malcolm Schofield of the Human Sciences Research Centre at the University of Derby England examines how contextual priming, as well as an individual’s implicit paranormal and religious beliefs, may affect their general cognition. This investigation is based on the theory of “alief” which finds that an individual’s explicit beliefs are not always reflected in [...]

Eric Dullin, researcher at the Psychophysics and Cognitive Dissonance Laboratory (LAPDC) in France follows up on his previous telekinesis and psychokinesis (TK/PK) research by designing a spinning mobile device that leaves only thermic and aerodynamic variables present. The new mobile allows for precise analysis of motion, making it an ideal configuration for TK/PK experiments.

Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) explores how geomagnetic forces affect peoples’ psi performance through an online map dowsing experiment.

David Vernon, Thomas Sandford, and Eric Moyo, Lecturers of the Canterbury Christ Church University explored how virtual reality may be used to augment and enhance telepathic connections between two emotionally connected individuals.

Glenn Hitchman and Chris Roe, Professors of Psychology at the University of Northampton, examine Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic resonance via laboratory-based studies. While empirically testable, there are few formal scientific studies on Morphic Resonance Theory, much of them lacking peer review.

Wolfgang Fach, researcher at the Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health, Germany delves into the nature of exceptional experiences (EE) and a proposed basic system of classification. By using fundamental principles from Metzinger’s theory of mental representations, Fach has devised a compact questionnaire for the assessment of EE, known as PAGE-R.

Annalisa Ventola, Executive Director of the Parapsychological Association, presents a transliminal model of ghostly episodes, based on a multi-laboratory meta-analysis relating poltergeist experiences with transliminality.

Walter von Lucadou, head of the Parapsychological Counselling Office at Freiburg (WGFP), presents the new version of the Freiburg RSPK Model, synthesizing six different profiles according to their phenomenology and characteristics.

Jon Taylor, MA in Natural Sciences, aims to show that intuition requires contact with the future and is explainable in terms of psi.

Renaud Evrard, professor at the University of Lorraine, analyses the Amneville recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis (RSPK or poltergeist) case, following the Model of Pragmatic Information.

Peter Mulacz, president of the Austrian Society for Parapsychology and Frontier Areas of Science, reflects on the social interaction between the novelist and Nobel laureate Thomas Mann, the parapsychologist Albert, Baron Schrenck-Notzing, and the youthful medium Willy Schneider.

Michael Nahm, researcher at the Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health (IGPP), presents important aspects, findings, and limitations of Justinus Kerner’s research on the Weinsberg’s “Prison Spook”, including the documentation of more than 50 witnesses.

Gerhard Mayer, researcher at the Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health (IGPP), presents the results of the field investigation of the Castle Hotel, and the impact that a field study can have on the investigated object.

Chris Roe, Professor of Psychology at the University of Northampton, argues that many spontaneous psychic experiences involve altered states of consciousness (ASCs) in one form or another. Even so, studies involving ganzfeld and dream extra-sensory perception (ESP) methods seem to have fallen out of favor, with the number of studies utilizing ASCs dwindling in recent [...]

Christine Simmonds-Moore, professor of psychology at the University of West Georgia, explored the nature and correlates of Exceptional Experiences (ExE) in a psychomanteum procedure, comparing synesthetes and non-synesthetes and the rated vividness, reality, and spatial nature of their experiences.

Louise N. King, PhD. student at the University of Northampton, aimed to record and formally compare the phenomenology of anomalous experiences in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE), employing a qualitative methodology that focuses on the phenomenology and meaning of experiences.

The science of parapsychology in the West has historically been limited to seeking scientific validation for “psychic”, “exceptional human experiences” and anomalous phenomena, while clinical work had been left to licensed practitioners in psychiatry, clinical psychology and transpersonal psychology. It is not uncommon for a health care provider to suggest medication or even hospitalization for [...]
