Is Everything Connected?
Entangled Minds
Extrasensory Experiences In a Quantum Reality
by Dean Radin, PhD
Is everything connected? Can we sense what's happening to loved ones thousands of miles away? Why are we sometimes certain of a caller's identity the instant the phone rings? Do intuitive hunches contain information about future events?

This program investigates the physical and psychophysiological bases of interconnectedness; noetic states of consciousness including nondual awareness, intuition, and presentiment; the effects of intention and attention on the physical world, including inanimate and living organisms; and human capacities that appear to extend beyond the conventional boundaries of space and time. By studying these phenomena, we seek a more comprehensive understanding of noetic experiences, the relationship between subjective and objective states, the nature of consciousness and the self, and the fabric of reality. Most of this work is conducted in our laboratory.
