The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab

The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Lab, founded in 1979 at Princeton University, studied unexplained effects of human intention on physical systems, like random number generators. Researchers aimed to determine whether focused mental effort could influence outcomes beyond chance. Despite rigorous experiments, consistent evidence remains elusive. The lab's work contributed to understanding human consciousness and its potential interactions with physical processes, sparking ongoing scientific curiosity about mind-matter relationships within the boundaries of scientific scrutiny.
