ABSTRACT: This paper presents results from a 13-year experiment using a unique approach to the associative remote viewing (ARV) protocol which allows a single operator to conduct the full ARV process beginning to end. A total of 5,677 ARV trials were conducted from May 11, 1998, to September 26, 2011. Of these, 52.65 % were correct in predicting the outcome of their respective future events (whereas only 50% would be expected by chance), yielding a statistically significant score of z = 4.0. These 5,677 trials addressed a total of 285 project questions. Most of these project questions were intended to predict the outcome of a given futures market. Of these project questions, 60.3% were answered correctly, resulting in a statistically significant z = 3.49. By increasing the number of trials in a project question, and giving more weight to higher subjective confidence scores reflecting the quality of the match between the remote viewing and one of the two target images, the success rate increased to above 70%. One hundred eighty-one project questions resulted in actual futures trades where capital was risked. Of these, 60% of the trades were profitable, amounting to approximately $146,587.30.

In 1982, Keith Harary and Russell Targ attempted to forecast changes in the Monday closing price of the silver futures market, 5 days in advance, for 9 weeks (9 Mondays). They used a technique developed by Stephan Schwartz (2007) called associative remote viewing, where two objects, hidden from the percipient, are each associated with either an "up" or a "down" outcome, and the percipient attempts to describe die object that is associated with the actual outcome of the silver futures market for Monday. A comparison of the percipient's object description with both actual objects by a judge allowed the team to forecast the direction of the silver futures market. The team made nine consecutive forecasts and all of them were correct, earning more than $100,000 (Harary & Targ, 1984). In an attempt to replicate their success, Harary and Targ repeated the experiment the following year but were unsuccessful on their first two trials and stopped trading.
Also in 1982, Harold E. Puthoff conducted a similar experiment using...
