Overview
Remote perception (commonly called remote viewing) refers to the reported ability to perceive information about a distant or unseen target without using the known senses. We run structured experiments through rvlab, a platform built for this research.
Background
Remote viewing research spans decades. The Stanford Research Institute ran government-funded programs from 1972 to 1995 under contracts with the CIA and DIA (declassified as Project Stargate in 1995). Multiple independent laboratories have reported statistically detectable results using double-blind protocols.
Methodology
Experiments follow the Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) protocol framework with modifications for digital delivery:
- We select targets from a curated pool using true random number generation
- Participants receive no information about the target during the session
- Judges score sessions using both quantitative metrics and independent analyst ranking
- The system timestamps and cryptographically logs all session data
Platform
rvlab handles target management, session recording, blind judging, and statistical analysis. It produces research-grade data suitable for publication.
Status
The platform is live and collecting experimental data.
