- Title
A GANZFELD STUDY USING IDENTICAL TWINS.
- Authors
Parker, Adrian
- Abstract
The aim of this study was to maximise psi performance in the Real-Time Digital Ganzfeld (RTDG) by using as participants a group of identical twins who reported psi-related experiences. Fourteen pairs of identical twins were selected using a questionnaire interview based on the Sheep-Goat Scale. The twins in the roles of receiver and sender took part in a two-session RTDG procedure. The results of this initial study gave a 36% hit rate, with a small-to-medium effect size, which was the rate generally expected for ganzfeld studies with selected participants. The dramatic success rate that might be expected to occur amongst identical twins was not found in this sample. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
