Summary
Meta-analysis of free-response (mainly ganzfeld) parapsychology studies, reporting a small but statistically significant effect.

Linked claims
Often subsumed under remote viewing in modern parapsychology. As an everyday claim, very poorly supported.
The CIA's declassified Stargate program ran for two decades and reported above-chance results. The official 1995 review judged the operational utility insufficient.
Decades of ganzfeld and card studies report small effects at meta-analytic level. Critics argue methodological flaws explain them.

Core pro-remote-viewing evaluation from the Stargate review period; should be paired with Hyman's evaluation to show the interpretive split.
A central pro-psi anchor for ganzfeld/free-response claims, especially telepathy-style information transfer under sensory-reduction conditions.
Major reference for the sceptical / cognitive-explanation side of psi-style claims.
Pairs directly with the Storm et al. meta-analysis — the classic skeptical reply in the same journal issue.
The classic skeptical replication counterpoint to Bem and Honorton, useful for keeping ganzfeld pages from presenting a one-sided meta-analytic story.
Essential counterweight to Utts' positive assessment of the Stargate / remote-viewing evidence; the two reports should be read together.
