From the book:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the December 6, 2010 issue of the Cornell Chronicle<\/em>, the university\u2019s news publication, the headline screamed: Study showing that humans have some psychic powers caps Daryl Bem’s career. <\/em>That article begins with:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018It took eight years and nine experiments with more than 1,000 participants, but the results offer evidence that humans have some ability to anticipate the future. Of the various forms of ESP or psi, as we call it, precognition has always most intrigued me because it’s the most magical,” attested Daryl Bem, professor of psychology emeritus.<\/p>\n

His study was published in 2011, in the American Psychological Association’s Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Bem\u2019s experiment was fairly simple.\u00a0 As he reported in \u201cFeeling the Future,\u201d an article published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, <\/em>he conducted nine experiments that involved 1,000 Cornell students who viewed erotic photos and found statistically significant results confirming that many people can glimpse the future.<\/p>\n

One of his experiments, for instance, provided students with a computer monitor showing a pair of curtains that were side by side. The participants were instructed to choose the curtain that hid an erotic photo. The idea was that such stimuli usually produces certain human responses and the question was whether the response could be obtained before the stimulus occurred. Essentially, the students were asked to \u201cfeel\u201d the future – the curtain hiding a photo of explicit sexual activity.<\/p>\n

The results? Across 100 sessions, participants correctly identified the future position of the erotic pictures 53.1 percent of the time, better than the 50 percent hit rate expected by chance.\u00a0 The results, of course, were attacked by skeptics who pointed out that experiments conducted in a lab setting tend to get positive results that are difficult to replicate.<\/p>\n

In fact, in 2013, the skeptical group CSICOP celebrated the alleged lack of replication. In response, Dean Radin, author and researcher at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, pointed out that more than 80 replications of the Bem effect show a \u201chighly significant overall effect.\u201d Radin also noted that the CSICOP article was a \u201c\u2026fine example of how that org is more about propaganda than science.\u201d A year later, The Daily Grail <\/em>listed eight successful replications.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>There will always be skeptics. That\u2019s fine. What isn\u2019t fine is when scientists whose research challenges existing paradigms are trashed just because their investigations and theories don\u2019t conform to mainstream science.<\/p>\n
