News Release from Rupert Sheldrake Online
Date: 20th January 2011
From Rupert Sheldrake, London January 20th 2011
My new telephone telepathy test has just been launched in the US, so If you live in the US, please try it! This is the first time that an automated test of this kind has been available in North America. You register online here
www.telepathyexperiment.com/ entering your own mobile telephone number, and the numbers of two friends or family members who have agreed to take part. The computer selects one of them at random, asks her to ring you through the computer system, and when she is on the line you guess who it is before you can actually speak to her. This process is repeated another 5 times. If your callers respond promptly, the whole test takes less than an hour, and you then get feedback at the end telling you your score.
This test has been developed by Gareth Edwards, to whom I am very grateful, and Simon Burton and Mark Early have kindly been testing it out. It may not be entirely glitch-free and if you have a technical problem please report it to Gareth through the contact window on the experiment web site. We do not know if it works in Canada, so if you live in Canada please have a go and let us know.
An older version of this test is available for use in the UK only on my web site at the online experiments portal.
On February 9, I am giving the Perrott-Warrick lecture at Trinity College, Cambridge on "The Evolution of Telepathy". at 17:30. It is free, and open to people who are not members of the University, but space is limited and there is no advance booking. The previous day I am giving a seminar in University College, London on "The Extended Mind" (Feb 8, 17:30, Room LG04, Bedford Way) which is also free and open to anyone interested.
In the summer I will again be on Cortes Island, BC, God willing, and am giving a joint workshop at Hollyhock from August 3-7 with Brother David Steindl-Rast, on "Nature, Science and Spirit". Brother David is a Benedictine monk, an old friend and a very inspiring man. He rarely leaves his hermitage, so this is a rare opportunity to spend some time with him, and I am greatly looking forward to it.
I recently wrote an article about the Crop Circle Making Competition that I helped to organize in 1992, which has just been published in a book called "Michellany", a tribute to my old friend John Michell, who died in 2009. You can find a link to the article on my home page,

This month's trialogue in on homing pigeons, and there is a link to it near the bottom of my home page.
