Information, Consciousness, and Health
Abstract
A 16-year empirical assessment of anomalous human/machine interactions provides strong evidence that consciousness can add information to otherwise random digital strings. A parallel program of remote perception studies establishes the inverse process: the anomalous acquisition of information about distant physical targets. Remarkably, neither of these extraordinary capabilities shows any dependence on either the distance or the time separating the participant from the target. The relevance of these consciousness abilities to human health follows from recognition that physiology entails myriad subtle information processes, all of which involve some degree of randomicity in their normal functions, and thus may be similarly influenced by conscious volition.

By the mid-nineties, some halfway through the span of the PEAR program, the epistemological relevance of our work to human healthcare issues had become increasingly clear, and allusions to that had already been made in a number of oral and written presentations. Our first dedicated publication on this connection appeared in Alternative Therapies by invitation of its editor Dr. Larry Dossey. It is reproduced here to summarize the logical argument for the relevance of mind/matter studies to mind/body applications.
