Re: Receivers (a.k.a. RVers) for Hire
To:
With one exception, I have focused my search for receivers-for-hire for US-based
individuals/institutes. Since the field is such a small community, I believe my alphabetical
list includes all major players who are publicly known for anomalous cognition activity.
In one cases, I indicate what I know from first-hand knowledge and what I have learned
from others, and in all cases I give contacts (names and phones) of individuals who should
be able to provide more information.

Director: Dr. Dean I Radin
Dr. Radin has been involved in the field since the early 1980s. He has been the president
of the Parapsychological Association and is a highly qualified researcher. He served as a
visiting scientist in the Cognitive Sciences Program at SRI in 1985.
CRL is a privately endowed research laboratory within the Psychology Department at
? the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. They have a staff of 3, but are growing in the
near future. Their focus is on building a "thought-controlled switch." To date, they have
not conducted AC experiments.

Dr. Morris is a US. citizen and occupies alife-time appointment to the Chair of
Parapsychology at Edinburgh University. He has a staff of 12 researchers and students.
The University grants MA and Ph.D. degrees in psychology with dissertations in
parapsychology. Dr. M orris is a careful researcher and has contributed significantly to
the field for many years. Their primary focus is the study of .AC in the Ganzfeld., a mild
altered state of consciousness technique. SAIC has subcontracted to them for specific
testing of the role of a "sender" in AC experiments.

Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Laboratory (PEAR)
Princeton University School of Engineering, C-131, Engineering Quadrangle, P.O. Box
CN5263, Princeton, NJ. Voice: 609.258-5370
Director: Dr. Robert Jahn
While Dean of the Engineering School, Professor Jahn initiated a small research effort in
parapsychology at Princeton in 1979. Now they have a staff of 4 and focus their activity
in three areas: (1) Anomalous Cognition (a.k.a. remote viewing), (2) Random number
generators (RNG), and (3) Large-scale anomalous perturbation effects (a.k.a.
psychokinesis) Their receivers are drawn from the general population and they claim not
to used special (i.e., gifted) subjects.
Their RNG work is first rate. They have collected over 10 times the total date of the
reset of the field combined. This data demonstrates a statistically robust, but very small
effect of human intention and the statistical behavior of physical random devices.
The work on AC, however, contains a major flaw in the analysis (Hansen, Utts, and
Markwick, "Critique of the PEAR Remote-Viewing Experiments," Journal of
Parapsychology, Vol. 56, No. 2, 97-113).

Executive Director: Dr. Richard S. Broughton
The Rhine Research Center (formerly the Foundation for Research into the Nature of
MAN and the Institute for Parapsychology) was founded in 1964 by Professor J. B.
Rhine. Dr. Rhine is considered the "father" of laboratory research of parapsychology.
RRI is a privately endowed research facility with a senior staff 3 and a total staff of
approximately 10. They have focused their attention on a form of AC called the
Ganzfeld, a way of collecting "telepathic" data in a mild altered state of consciousness.
They rarely work with special receivers preferring volunteers from the general
population.
