Jessica Utts, parapsychologist and statistics professor discusses remote view program funded by govt

In 1995, the American Institutes for Research (AIR) appointed a panel consisting primarily of Jessica Utts and Ray Hyman to evaluate a project investigating remote viewing for espionage applications, the Stargate Project, which was funded by the Central Intelligence Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency, and carried out initially by Stanford Research Institute and subsequently by SAIC.

Stargate Project was the 1991 code name for a secret U.S. Army unit established in 1978 at Fort Meade, Maryland, by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and SRI International (a California contractor) to investigate the potential for psychic phenomena in military and domestic intelligence applications.

(She discusses at end how debunkers have kept the study of parapsychology out of US universities, but it is a subject beginning to be studied in UK and Russia actively studies it. She thinks it is important for experiment statistics just for the fact that the researcher can have an effect on the results of the study by influencing the participants responses. Also she mentions at end, questioning whether psychic ability is something that is a primitive ability before we had developed language. I wonder about this too, because I think animals may have this ability.)
