The term Remote Viewing was introduced by American physicists Russel Targ and Harold Putoff in 1974. Targ and Putoff, based at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), carried out government funded research into the ability of individuals to gather information from remote locations outside of their physical perception.
Similar research was carried out forty years previously by best-selling American author Upton Sinclair (whose novel, The Jungle, brought attention from President Roosevelt and led to the passing of two Acts). Upton Sinclair's 2nd wife, Marie Craig, achieved astonishingly accurate hits recreating pictures unseen by her and sealed in envelopes (many drawn 100s of miles away). Their investigations were written up in the book Mental Radio.
More recent research has explored the effect of groups of people focusing on a single target (Remote Viewing by Committee: RV Using a Mulitple Agent / Multiple Percipient Design. Journal of Parapsychology, Vol 63 2003.)
In our investigation we will be looking at Remote Viewing by committee and the effect of hypnotism on Remote Viewing.

Details
To take part in this investigation you MUST send an email request for an invitation. Invitations are allocated on a first come, first served basis. The email address is given on page 3.
The day will begin with a short introductory lecture on Remote Viewing (10.30am-11am) followed by a briefing on the investigation to follow.
Participants will then take part in a series of Remote Viewing experiments testing their ability to draw objects hidden from sight as well as attempting to draw a scene viewed by another participant at another location. Scales of accuracy will be used to evaluate the drawings of the viewers. The final experiment will involve a volunteer attempting to remote view a target while in a state of hypnosis. The hypnotism will be conducted by a trained professional.
The results of the investigation will be posted on this website.
