A research center exploring the interaction of consciousness with the physical world. PEAR was founded in 1979 by Robert Jahn, dean emeritus of Princeton\u2019s School of Engineering and Applied Science and a NASA and Department of Defense researcher. In the past 17 years, experiments involving millions of samples have been conducted at PEAR in which ordinary people (that is, people who do not consider themselves to be psychics) have been able to influence the performance of machines by mind alone. In some experiments, subjects have been able to change the output of equipment thousands of miles away.<\/p>\n
Measurable effects of these mental manipulations recorded at PEAR have been minuscule; however, where sophisticated instrumentation is concerned, minuscule changes can be critical. The example of a fighter pilot in the cockpit of a modern aircraft illustrates this point. In an emergency situation, a tiny anomaly could be disastrous. If the studies at PEAR prove conclusively that human beings can mentally influence machinery even to the smallest degree, the implications are far reaching.<\/p>\n
