Improving this Page

edit

I am working on improving this page and would be interested in any sources the community would find relevant to the topic. Primarily, I would like to add more information about the scientists and writers involved with SRI. For example, Ray Hyman is not mentioned in this article at all. Hyman is probably best known by the public at large for his work in the case of Uri Geller alongside such names as James Randi and Paul Kurtz, and he has written extensively on the methodologies employed by parapsychology researchers, including those at SRI. I am also interested in adding some specifics of the methodology of the research, preferably those contained in specific journal articles or papers published by the scientists associated with SRI.

I've added a ref to Ray Hyman's 1986 paper, which responded to Jahn's supporting review, and puts the entire field in a historical context. It's well worth reading, if you have access. jxm (talk) 00:59, 9 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Proposed Rearranging

edit

The current section ordering is confusing. For example, it seems like Replication and Controversy could be merged and moved closer to the RV material. Perhaps a better arrangement would be to group the various experimental material first, and then chronologically describe the publication history and associated controversies. If there are no objections, I'll tackle that shortly. Thoughts? jxm (talk) 21:25, 9 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I definitely agree and did some rearranging on that.VaDawn (talk) 03:40, 12 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
