Abstract

In order to understand the apparent psi conducive experimenter factors at work in ganzfeld research, it is first necessary to understand what other factors may also come into play that could be considered "psi conducive." Included in these factors are physical variables, participant characteristics, and the social setting of the ganzfeld, as well as successful techniques used by experimenters to enhance the performance level of their participants. This report presents an exploration of the characteristics and variables indicated by past ganzfeld research to contribute to the success of the ganzfeld technique.
