  • Currently director of the Consciousness Research Division, University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

"AT&T Bell Laboratories, Columbus, Ohio. I did research and development on human-computer interfaces in national and global telecommunications systems, medical information systems, network control centers, and also some parapsychological research."


"Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. I was Director of a multidisciplinary group interested in aspects of human information processing. I was also a scientist within the Psychology Department, where I did research on parapsychological phenomena."


Radin also worked with GTE, the Koestler Unit of Parapsychology, and with the program at SRI. (Dean Radin Home Page)


"I took a leave of absence from Bell Labs in 1985, and spent that entire year at SRI International, working with Hal Puthoff and Ed May. Since then I spent about half my time in academia (Princeton, Edinburgh, UNLV) and half in industry (Contel Technology Center, GTE Labs). My academic research was exclusively on psi phenomena, and my industrial research included about 20% on psi."


"I'm not in favor of developing or using psi for any military purposes, but unfortunately there are those in the world who would use psi as a weapon if they could. Thus, I reluctantly suppose that R& D on psi for intelligence and possibly military purposes can be justified for defensive reasons. It would be naive to think that someone, somewhere is not working on this right now"

is currently working with Joe McMoneagle, in a project involved with remote-viewing future technology. (Compuserve On Line Conversation w/ Joe McMoneagle, 1/4/96)


Radin
was once funded in part by Robert Bigelow's Bigelow Foundation, but according to Glenn Campbell, Bigelow stopped funding him after disputes over funding and academic freedom. (What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part I) (What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part II)


On 9/17/95, Radin posted a want-ad on USENET:


"Private, well-funded institute seeks a director for an innovative, long-term program of scientific and scholarly research on UFOs and related phenomena..."


"This is a full time position located at the institute's new headquarters in Las Vegas, NV, near the University of Nevada (UNLV). The institute also supports a major research program on anomalies of human consciousness."


Applications were to be sent to the Bigelow Foundation. UNLV professor explores the link between mind and matter. On the board of advisors for "Subtle Energies: An International Journal of Energetic and Informational".

Dean Radin
is the moving force behind one of the largest online remote viewing/ESP tests ever. This is what he has to say about it:


"As of April 25th, we have recorded a total of 2.1 million trials, contributed by over 14,000 participants from 92 countries. In these tests we were interested in searching for possible psi talent, for testing hypotheses about individual personality, belief and environmental factors vs. psi performance, and for examining some ideas about perception through time."


For sixteen years, Dean Radin has conducted experimental studies of psi phenomena in academia and industry, including appointments at Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, University of Nevada, and SRI International. At the latter he was a research scientist on a classified program of psi research. Prior to becoming President of the Boundary Institute, he was in charge of a psi research program at Interval Research Corporation in Palo Alto, California.


Dean Radin
earned a BSEE magna cum laude in electrical engineering, with honors, from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and an MS in electrical engineering and PhD (1979) in educational psychology, both from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. For ten years, he was a member of technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories and later a principal member of the technical staff at GTE Laboratories, where he was engaged in R&D on a wide variety of advanced telecommunications products and systems.
