  Dean Radin Interview
Dean Radin is currently the director of the Consciousness Research Lab at the Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies, University of Nevada.
Radin: I was at SRI when Ed May and others were first discussing this, and I was the second author on the original theory paper when it was called Intuitive Data Sorting (IDS).
Radin: Yes, I'm a fan of McKenna's works, and I feel that the implications of modern psi research resonates strongly with his ideas, and with those of Keith Thompson and Rupert Sheldrake and several others who are trying to bridge the gap between the modern scientific worldview and the experience of being human.

 Dean I Radin: The Conscious Universe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Dean Radin is perhaps the most respected parapsychology authority in the country.
Radin reveals the remarkable extent to which psi is already tacitly acknowledged--and exploited--by Fortune 500 corporations and the U.S. government, then analyzes how the inevitable mass acceptance of the mind-matter link will affect social, economic, academic, health and spiritual issues.
Radin was elected president of the Parapsychological Association, an affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in 1988, 1993, and 1998.

 David Jay Brown Interviews Dean Radin
Dean: Yes, there's some aspects of the world for which we now have the term non-locality, which nobody understands very well, but seems to be a fundamental, underlying aspect of the universe.
Dean: Well, the line of research came out of the observation that creative people generally have a much higher belief in psychic phenomena; correlations are very high, like.6,.7, or.8.
Dean: I expect that what we think of as ourselves-- which is primarily personality, personal history, personality traits, and that sort of thing-- all goes away, because it's probably captured in some way in the body itself.

 Book Reviews: Radin, Ph.D, Dean I.
Radin is a prolific producer of scientific articles and as methodologically sound and data driven as one could want in such a contentious area.
Radin makes a concerted effort to educate the reader about the history, methods, psychology and politics of science in general and parapsychology in particular.
Radin patiently revisits critical points over the course of the manuscript to reinforce understanding of the key concepts about the scientific method, statistical inference, the role of replication, standards of "proof" and how criticisms have been refuted.

 Courtney Brown | Book Review of "Entangled Minds" by Dean Radin
Dean Radin's book, Entangled Mines, is required reading for anyone seriously interested in understanding the current debates in the science of psi.
Here Radin proposes that human minds are literally entangled with the universe on a quantum level, and that this entanglement may be the root explanation for a great many psychic phenomena.
Radin addresses the issue of time by examining something called "presentiment," and that is the ability of a person to respond consciously or unconsciously to a stimulus before the stimulus is applied.

 Entangled Minds: They can dish it out, but they can't take it
Radin (Institute of Noetic Sciences) begins by describing quantum entanglement, in which subatomic particles separated by large distances appear to exchange information about their physical states almost instantly.
Radin then steps back to examine the theoretical basis for ESP, granting that the evident factuality of certain results does not justify the assumption that all psychic phenomena are therefore true.
Here, Radin pins his hopes for the eventual vindication of ESP: If distant objects are related by quantum effects, then psychics may be tapping into the quantum realm to gain their insights.

 Chip Brown   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
It was data that pushed Dean Radin to the fringe of science, and it is data that keep him there, out on the edge, in that hard country where researchers in less controversial fields will often give him the Look.
Radin considers the ability to have a psychical experience a given – as a largely unconscious sensitivity or faculty that can be influenced by variables ranging from temperature and geomagnetic activity to beliefs and personality type.
Radin told me that it could be done, and had been done in a run with a human participant, in two steps.

 An evening with Dean Radin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Radin did acknowledge that people react differently to pictures of this kind (he used the example of Jimmy Carter who was once attacked by a huge bunny and the herpetologist who would think the snake was "cute"), but the results do show that people react a little before the picture pops up.
Radin showed a graph which - again on the surface - showed that there indeed was a drop in violent crime during the period where the participants thought about peace.
Radin could not abstain from several jabs at the "established" scientific community: We got the well-known swill that scientists are afraid to think outside the box, that the results were ignored, we are on the threshold of a new era, blah, blah, blah.

Radin mentions three events in the broadcast, which he thinks are important (the beginning of the preshow, the beginning of the ‘main’ broadcast and the verdict announcement) and he relates these three events to the graph (and specifically marks them on the graph).
Radin doesn’t state that she didn’t and this seems strange since it is very important to the credibility of the experiment, because experimenter bias could invalidate the experiment if she had this access.
Radin’s explanation of this is that the lunar cycle is correlated with the GMF.

 Dean RADIN : The Conscious Universe
Dean Radin and a few other pioneering scientists have at last amassed irrefutable data that support the anecdotes and place us on the edge of what may well be the next scientific revolution.
With painstaking research and deft, engaging prose, Radin dispels the misinformation and superstition that have clouded the understanding of scientists and laypeople alike concerning a host of fascinating oddities.
Radin draws from his own work at Princeton, Stanford Research Institute, and Fortune 500 companies, as well as his research for the U.S. government, to demonstrate the surprising extentto which the truth of psi has already been tacitly acknoledged and exploited.

Radin likens the current state of research to when scientists first began studying static electricity and didn't know that humidity levels could affect the amount of static electricity produced.
Both Radin and Jahn say that just because there is a correlation between the intent of the participant and the machine's actions doesn't mean one causes the other.
Radin said the phenomenon could be similar to quantum entanglement -- what Einstein referred to as "spooky action at a distance" -- in which two particles separated from each other appear to connect without any apparent form of communication.

 comment on Nature review of Radin
Radin comments in the letter reprinted below: 'I am well aware [of the problem with the criticised statement] but did not think it necessary to correct Hansel's mistake in a book aimed towards a general readership.' The Journal increased the confusion by adding an editorial 'clarification' that was itself mistaken, viz.
I.J. Good's review of Radin's survey of the evidence for paranormal phenomena, The Conscious Universe [1], misleads by its selective approach to parapsychological research, combined with claims of error on the author's part that are invalid.
Radin has, as Good admits, provided a well-written account of the arguments supporting the existence of ESP, while the very frequently misconceived nature of the arguments of sceptics may have justified giving less space to them than Good would have liked.

 The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth Of Psychic Phenomena. - Review - book reviews Journal of Parapsychology, ...
If the field of parapsychology is at the stage Dean Radin claims it is--and I do not doubt that it is--then a few decades hence we will not need yet another grand marshaling of the evidence for psychic phenomena.
Radin has given us not a mere catalog of results, but a wonderfully fresh presentation of parapsychology's best data through the careful use of meta-analysis techniques and the skillful illustration of his conclusions with numerous graphs.
Radin's careful dissection of the skeptics' best arguments and his skewering of their popular myths about parapsychology will make them profoundly uncomfortable.

Dean Radin, director of the Consciousness Research Laboratory at the University of Nevada, rises to the challenge in the pioneering and exhaustively researched The Conscious Universe.
Radin is very persuasive, many people might not be impressed with his writing on sociology and metaphysics, but his technical expertise on the rest of the book is obvious.
Radin has convinced me that psi phenomena have indeed considerable scientific evidence behind, but that unlike what many pseudo-science fans think, those effects are extremely subtle and hard to control for any good use, at least, at present time.

Radin asserts that when one looks at the aggregate of data collected over time, you can only conclude that psychic phenomena are scientifically validated.
Radin is aware of the file-drawer effect, in which only positive results tend to get reported and negative ones are left in the filing cabinet.
Radin says it shows that more than 3,300 unpublished, unsuccessful reports would be needed for each published report in order to "nullify" the statistical significance of psi.

Dean Radin, Ph.D., is Senior Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) in Petaluma, California.
As Dean and Stu explain, the research supporting psi and parapsychology is out there, but for most people it remains largely unknown due to the difficulty of getting knowledge to “stick” in all four quadrants.
As Dean readily admits, there are difficulties in performing scientific experiments with psi that other disciplines don’t have to face—such as the fact that the beliefs of the people involved in administering and performing a given experiment appear to affect its outcome.

Dean Radin, an experimental psychologist who has conducted ESP experiments, is the author of The Conscious Universe.
DEAN: Science consists of two general areas: there is the act of measurement, which is the empirical side of science, and there is the development of mechanisms, which is its theoretical side.
DEAN: Field consciousness is a relatively new finding about what may happen when people get together in a group--say, as a choral group or a sports team--and they feel that something "just gels." Everyone is working together perfectly and there's a sense of coherence within the group.

 The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR)
In 1987, Dean Radin and Nelson did a meta-analysis of all RNG experiments done between 1959 and 1987 and found that they produced odds against chance beyond a trillion to one (Radin 1997: 140).
A couple of sentences later, Radin gives a more precise rendering of "about 51 percent" by noting that the overall effect was "just under 51 percent." Similar results were found with experiments where people tried to use their minds to affect the outcome of rolls of the dice, according to Radin.
According to Dean Radin, the criticism that there "was any one person responsible for the overall results of the experiment...was tested and found to be groundless" (Radin 1997: 221).

Because these three studies were basically done to validate the earlier results obtained by Radin, the major relevant hypothesis concerns the anomalous difference in anticipatory physiology before the exposure of calm and extreme pictures.
Radin (1997) has adequately treated a number of potential normal or classical explanations of the effect.
The major (and maybe only) source of normal explanations left after Radin's original studies was the hypothesis that subjects developed anticipatory strategies that would result in artifactually different anticipatory physiology preceding calm or extreme pictures.
