Is that a public remote viewing experiment where a group of RVers try to vote on a target? That is a good idea. But I can't find any results on that page.

I don't know, i am very skeptical of Richard Wiseman's just like Michael Prescott is.

You can read in the comments section of Michael Prescott's blog why he is skeptical of Richard Wiseman's research into anything paranormal.

The results are in, for better or worse.

Any thoughts?

Curious findings. Particularly from this statement:

The experiment attracted a range of participants, with 38% indicating that they believed in the paranormal and 16% claiming that they had some form of psychic ability.

I am curious if they tracks the 16% claiming to have some form of psychic ability vs. the rest of the group. Since only 38% and 16% indicated they believed in the paranormal, am I to assume that the remaining 46% not mentioned did not believe in the paranormal?

I will need to go back and re-read the results.

Here is why I asked that question...

If 16% claimed to have paranormal talents, is it possible that the 15% that got it right was that specific group?

On another trial I was sitting under an unusual looking canopy but only 15% of the group selected this option, with a majority 24% thinking that I was in a graveyard. The same pattern emerged on all four trials", commented Prof Wiseman.

I would like to see a more detailed breakdown of the results myself.

This artical is kinda sparse on details.

I have a bit of time this morning. I'll Google around and see if I can find more info.
