Radin has been developing an automated experiment designed to test for the ability of precognition in humans. The participants are shown a series of images, some of calm scenes (for example a landscape) and others of emotional scenes (for example a riot). Meanwhile various physiological processes are monitored in the participant such as blood flow to the extremities and galvanic skin response. The responses being measured were non conscious reactions and the pictures shown were random.

Results showed that for several of the participants, their bodies reacted consistently correctly, in the way expected as if they were viewing a particular scene, several seconds before its presentation.

Finally I’d like to relate a personal experience. I was upstairs doing some exercise when I suddenly stopped and stood up. I felt that the landline was ringing. I didn’t hear the phone ring, I just felt it. Sound crazy? That’s what I thought. The house was still silent. I was just shaking the feeling off and about to resume my work-out, when yes, you guessed it – the phone rang. What makes this especially unusual is that most of my calls come through my mobile (cell) phone. I maybe get one on the landline once a week. The call wasn’t particularly important, but it made me think hard.

Since then I’ve realised I’ve had several of these precognitive feelings about different things, it could be my mind playing tricks or maybe I’m just becoming more attuned to them – but either way, I’m still loosing at roulette!
