Feeling the Future: A Meta-Analysis of 90 Experiments on the Anomalous Anticipation of Random Future Events

A macroscopic violation of no-signaling in time inequalities? How to test temporal entanglement with behavioral observables

“…Independently of the quantum mind discussion, recently, in psychology, non-temporal correlations between temporally separated events (from a few 100 ms up to several minutes) have been observed (see, e.g., Mossbridge et al, 2012; Bem et al, 2014; Maier et al, 2014). These phenomena usually involved a behavioral or physiological response at time 1 (RP t 1 ) and an activating event happening later at time 2 (AE t 2 ).…”

Pitfalls in Parapsychological Research

“…At the time of this writing, Bem, Tressoldi, Rabeyron, and Duggan (2014) posted online a preliminary report of their meta-analysis of 90 experiments, including Bem's original nine experiments. At the time of this writing, Bem, Tressoldi, Rabeyron, and Duggan (2014) posted online a preliminary report of their meta-analysis of 90 experiments, including Bem's original nine experiments.…”

“…At the time of the original posting, the paper was under editorial review and will undergo some changes (cf. Bem et al (2014) claimed that their meta-analysis of the new set of precognitive experiments reveal that the verbal recall task differs from the other tasks in consistently showing no effect. Ironically, the verbal recall paradigm is now claimed not to produce the precognitive effect.…”

“…Lakens, 2014;Wagenmakers, 2014). However, if Bem et al (2014) are correct, this would constitute a serious failure to replicate two of Bem's key experiments. The experiments by Galak et al (2012), as well as the additional ones he used in his meta-analysis that failed to replicate Bem, all used the verbal recall paradigm.…”

The Sandy Island Syndromes: On Seeing What Is Not There and Not Seeing What Is There

“…These areas of research are remote viewing, random number generator influence, Ganzfeld, the Global Consciousness Project, presentiment, and precognition. 37,38,39,40 Reviews of these areas are readily available in thousands of technical papers and books that have appeared in recent years, variably suitable either for scientists or laypersons. Entry points into this vast literature are too numerous to cover here, but books and bibliographies by three Explore contributors will serve -columnist Stephan A. Schwartz's Opening to the Infinite, 41 Coeditor-in-Chief Dean Radin's The Conscious Universe 42 and Entangled Minds, 43 and Executive Editor Larry Dossey's One Mind 44 -as well as two monumental works by a team of scholars headed by consciousness researcher Edward F. Kelly, of the University of Virginia: Irreducible Mind 45 and Beyond Physicalism.…”
