In her article on PSI, Deborah Delanoy discusses research on personality traits. It seems that some people generate larger effects than others. Persons with a positive attitude score better than others. And it seems that by changing this attitude by giving feedback the score can be improved as well. And extraverts perform better than intraverts.
In this article she presents an overview of meta-analyses that have been carried out on PSI. Thus she looks at ganzfield, precognition, randomness and DMILS studies. The overall conclusions is that all these studies have been positive, i.e. an effect has been found.
Meta-analyses are useful for finding parameters of an effect that otherwise are difficult to find. One interesting parameter is the personality traits. It turns out that people who have a positive feeling towards these PSI phenomena, will also get better results. This positive feeling might also be induced by giving people feedback on their results.
Interesting she notes that the results of this research is even more positive than (some) normal research on medicines.

In this email(?) article (2001) some of the research work on distant influencing (healing) is reviewed. It turns out that people are able to influence living systems from a distance, from bacteria, animals, human tissue to intact humans. And also animals are able to influence over distance.
In order to explain these phenomena requires a non-local theory, i.e. it must be independent of space and time. This reminds on the non-locality of quantum theory. Although any relation is not implied, researchers are looking into the possibility.
He has written about distant healing.
Ervin Lazslo mentions a very interesting metaphor in his article. He compares the relation between the quantum vacuum an humas, as ships on the ocean. Ships navigating the ocean create waves in the form of wakes. Research turns out that evidence of this wakes are still visible days later, but slowly evidence fades away as the waves get scattered.
In the same way humans could create wakes in the quantum vacuum. These wakes are however long visible as there is (we assume) nothing to scatter the waves. All knowledge emitted by humans is there forever and everywhere.
Charles Tart describes a personal experience with Predictive PSI. He introduces this generic term as he can not distinguish between a possible telepathic effect and precognition.
On a morning he notices that he says the word coupdetat out loud several (10) times. He cannot perceive any reason why he does this. And a few days later he receives a letter from Mrs. Coupdetat. This coincidence is remarkable.

In this article he describes a case of predictive PSI. On a morning he started to say the word “coupdetat” out loud some 10 times. A few day later he received a letter from Mrs. Coupdetat. Either Mrs. Coupdetat send him a telepathic message or he predicted the event.
In the article he investigates whether is own subconscious could have produced this message. This overlay often disturbs genuine PSI events. He suggests that a theoretical overlay, an interpretative bias, might be at the base of the event.

Ervin Laszlo is interested in the relation between PSI phenomena and their physical grounding.

This article (whole, part 2) looks at the quantum vacuum as an explanation for PSI phenomena. The articles presumes that scalar fields are present in the quantum vacuum. These scalar fields exhibit characteristics independent of space and time. Information within such a field is available everywhere (holographic property).
He likens such a scalar field to the Fourier (frequency, amplitude and phase) transform of a sea. The transform of the sea shows the wakes that ship have left behind many days after the ship passed.
The article touches a little bit on the interaction between such a scalar field and the brain.
