Specifically, during FY 1989 the Cognitive Sciences Project was tasked to: (1) continue the two-stage screening of groups as we had in FY 1988, and (2) evaluate individual experienced remote viewers from other research laboratories. A total of 256 people (from three separate groups) participated in the group screening. Of these, eight qualified for the second-stage screening. To date, no second-stage tests with these selected indiduals has yet taken place; this work will be continued during FY 1990. In addition to the group effort, one person with claimed remote viewing ability from another laboratory was evaluated by the second-stage screening task; this individual demonstrated robust (p <= 0.0025, effect size = 1.01) remote viewing ability.
