I know literally nothing about the topic, but I came across pic related in a footnote of a (somewhat) unrelated book and, with the time and interest, I'd dive into this.

 

>Dean Radin is a parapsychology researcher, Senior Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), served on dissertation committees at Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center, and former President of the Parapsychological Association. He is also co-editor-in-chief of the journal Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing.

 

>Early life

>Radin worked as a concert violinist for five years, later switching to engineering after earning an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, as well as both a master's degree in electrical engineering and a doctorate in educational psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

>After his graduation, Radin worked at Bell Labs, and then conducted research at Princeton University, GTE Laboratories, University of Edinburgh, SRI International, Interval Research Corporation, and was a faculty member at University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

 

>Parapsychology

>Radin believes that parapsychology is as repeatable as any science but that it is also, as paraphrased by sociologist Erich Goode, "elusive, subtle and complex", a field of study that is "difficult to replicate" and for which "our understanding of it is incomplete".[

>Radin's paranormal claims have been roundly rejected by (((those in the skeptical and mainstream scientific communities))), some of whom have suggested that he has embraced pseudoscience and that he misunderstands (((the nature of science))).

>Radin has appealed to quantum mechanics as a mechanism, claiming that it can explain the non-locality and backward causality associated with psi phenomena, though such ideas are harshly criticized by (((physicists who study quantum mechanics))) as being pseudoscientific. Radin has written that not all people experience paranormal phenomena (or see ghosts) because they block such signals due to the process of latent inhibition.

They seem to have some open access articles. On the front page:

(looks…questionable)
