| Sumario: | The writer reports on his evaluation of the program on “Anomalous Mental Phenomena” carried out at SRI International from 1973 through 1989 and continued at the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) from 1992 through 1994. The term anomalous mental phenomena is used by the experimenters to refer to what parapsychologists label psi, which includes both extrasensory perception, termed anomalous cognition, and psychokinesis, termed anomalous perturbation. The experimenters claim that their results support the existence of anomalous cognition, particularly clairvoyance and precognition, but that they found no evidence for the existence of anomalous perturbation. The writer focuses on the 10 experiments conducted at SAIC, considers some of the earlier SRI research, and examines some of the contemporary research in parapsychology being conducted at other laboratories.
