Mindfield 14.3

Technology is foundational to modern society, and parapsychologists are finding innovative ways to use these tools to aid in research. In this first of a double feature on technology and psi, the President of the PA, Helané Wahbeh, and the Executive Director, Annalisa Ventola, detail their own musings on the evolving nature of parapsychological research and technology. Richard Noakes tours the rise of technologically assisted mediumship in the nineteenth and twentieth century.

Brian Laythe and James Houran examine the use of smartphone apps and the MESA 3.0 protocol to empower citizen scientists and professional researchers. Arguing that parapsychology has the potential to be a vector of social transformation, Claude Berghmans situates parapsychology as that discipline that may be able to occupy the meaninglessness left behind by materialist science. Lastly, Maurice van Luijtelaar and Renaud Evrard present their 38th installment of articles relevant to parapsychology.
