Stephan Schwartz Pt.6

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Stephan Schwartz, Research Associate, of Cognitive Sciences Laboratory of the Laboratories for Fundamental Research, is one of the world’s experts on the practical applications of remote viewing and other aspects of extraordinary human functioning. For almost twenty years he was the research director and chairman of the Mobius Society. The laboratory carried out research into remote viewing, creativity, therapeutic intent, and other areas of human performance.

Stephan is the Editor of “The Schwartz Report,” an international daily web publication. He is a former Special Assistant for Research and Analysis to the Chief of Naval Operations, Editor of Seapower Magazine, and staffer of National Geographic Society. He is a founder of the Society for Anthropology of Consciousness, the International Remote Viewing Association, and the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine, and is a member of the Parapsychology Association.

Schwartz discussed his work on non-locality, consciousness and remote viewing. Evidence shows that some part of our consciousness exists outside of time/space, he said, and all consciousness is interconnected and interdependent. This connectivity allows for morphogenic fields to be created, he added.

It was Edgar Cayce’s “distant viewing” of the Dead Sea Scrolls (before their discovery) that first got Schwartz interested in remote viewing. As developed in the 1970s, remote viewing, which he described as a kind of “mental yoga,” provides information that can be independently validated. Moments of religious ecstasy, genius, and remote viewing are all similar experiences, but they are modulated by their context and intention, he explained.

Using Twin and Adoption Studies – Publication Bias

Monday, February 15th, 2010

View the full Interactive Tutorial at:
http://www.phgfoundation.org/tutorials/twinAdoption/3.html

Publication bias is an issue to consider when discussing any published research. Publication bias arises from the tendency of researchers and editors to publish studies with positive findings over those with negative findings. Published twin and adoption studies may not be truly representative of all valid studies undertaken. It is important to recognize that publication bias is not a disadvantage of the study design itself but rather the reviewers assessment of research and its publication potential.

Advantages and disadvantages of twin studies

Although this is a relatively inexpensive, uncomplicated type of study to perform, identifying suitable sets of twins is not always easy. The zygosity of twins is not normally recorded on birth certificates or in medical records. In many cases genetic tests will be needed to confirm a particular twin pairs zygosity. Studies are also likely to be based on small numbers of twins. Twin studies may not be applicable to the rest of the population as twins are at greater risk of complications during pregnancy and shortly after birth compared with singletons. These studies are also complicated by the fact that twins are more likely to share the same environment than other siblings and monozygotic twins are known to share their environment to a greater extent than dizygotic twins.
