Key Takeaways
- In the 1994 Ganzfeld meta-analysis by Bem and Honorton, 11 studies with 240 participants showed a hit rate of 32% against 25% chance expectation, with odds against chance of 3.3 x 10^7 to 1
- A 2010 meta-analysis by Storm, Tressoldi, and Di Risio reviewed 29 Ganzfeld studies (1,011 sessions), finding a hit rate of 30.4% (effect size 0.14, p = 1.4 × 10^-11)
- In Honorton's 1985 auto-ganzfeld experiments, 35 sessions with 11 receivers yielded 11 hits (31% hit rate, z=1.60)
- In Utts 1991 meta-analysis of remote viewing (clairvoyant psi), 154 trials showed effect size 0.20 (z=6.355, p=1.04e-10)
- Puthoff-Targ 1974 SRI clairvoyance coordinate trials: 100 trials, 63.5% accuracy (p=3e-14)
- Marks 1980s critique but original data showed 34% hit rate in screen tests (n=200)
- In Bem's 2011 precognition experiments (precog clairvoyance), Experiment 5 showed 52.8% hit rate on erotic stimuli (z=2.28, p=0.01)
- Daryl Bem's 2011 Experiment 1: participants "chose" porn images before randomization, 53.1% hit rate (n=100, p=0.01)
- Bem 2011 Experiment 2 recall test: 55% precog recall on negative words (n=150, p<0.01)
- In the PEAR lab's 12-year psychokinesis database, 597 experiments showed a composite z-score of 8.79 (p = 10^-18) for intention on random number generators
- Helmut Schmidt's 1970s precog PK on pre-recorded RNG: 51.2% hits over 26M trials (z=6.9)
- Jahn 1987 global consciousness project precursor PK: correlated deviations during events
- In Stevenson's 40-year study, 2,500 cases of children claiming past lives with 65% having veridical statements verified by records
- Tucker 2013 analysis of 2,000 reincarnation cases: 70% involved violent death in previous life
- Haraldsson 2003 Iceland reincarnation survey: 3.2% of population reported past life memories
Repeated studies show statistically significant evidence for psychic phenomena like telepathy.
