The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/) (PEAR) program was established at Princeton University in 1979 by Robert G. Jahn, then Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science, to pursue rigorous scientific study of the interaction of human consciousness with physical devices, systems, and processes common to contemporary engineering practice. Its methods were controversial and at the end of February 2007, it closed its doors. PEAR's website states that:
The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program, which flourished for nearly three decades under the aegis of Princeton University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, has completed its experimental agenda of studying the interaction of human consciousness with sensitive physical devices, systems, and processes, and developing complementary theoretical models to enable better understanding of the role of consciousness in the establishment of physical reality.
Members of PEAR have since grouped with other international scientists to form the International Consciosness Research Laboratories (http://icrl.org/) (ICRL). The groups goal is:
ICRL promotes, encourages, and advances the study, research and dissemination of knowledge related to the broad field of "human consciousness," including recognition of the role of anomalous phenomena for understanding the human mind and acknowledgement of subjectivity as a critical ingredient in any comprehensive model of physical reality. In addition to encouraging ongoing scholarly research, ICRL provides technical and logistical support for the development of tools for scholarly application and personal exploration. Its educational outreach includes sponsorship of web-based courses and seminars and management of the ICRL Press, which publishes select books and monographs on consciousness-related topics.
Not only does the group conduct research into conciousness, but through their child company Psyleron Inc (http://www.psyleron.com/), constructs and sells various Random Number Generator devices to the public so that anyone can conduct their own experiments on the conciousness/reality connections.
Nice to see that there are scientists putting forth a real effort into consciousness and our abilities to effect the outcome of reality. Below is a brief video about PEAR and it's history.
