I refer you to the article by Daryl Bem and Charles Honorton(now deceased) entitled "Does PSI Exist? Replicable Evidence for an Anomalous process of Information Transfer" (Psychological Bulletin 1994, Vol.115,No.1:4-18). PSI skeptic Ray Hyman discusses with some respect these apparently high quality automated ganzfeld experiments on pages 19-24 of the same journal issue. Another discussion was featured in the May 1993 issue of New Scientist. These experiments are a dramatic improvement over earlier ones in that they were designed to satisfy the technical demands of PSI skeptics. Since the results were positive skeptics have no explanation consistent with their beliefs. I am optimistic that over the next 20 years the existence or nonexistance of PSI will be definitively established by similar experiments.
