He is the recent recipient of the prestigious Myers Memorial Medal awarded by the Society for Psychical Research for outstanding contributions. He also serves as editor of the Journal of Scientific Exploration.
Here he presents the history of research on “thoughtography” conducted with the psychokinetically talented subject, Ted Serios, primarily by the Denver psychiatrist, Jule Eisenbud, MD. He notes that thoughtography involves images projected from the mind of a living person, as opposed to “spirit photography” which – if not fraud – represents images of discarnate entities. He emphasizes the many scientific controls employed in this research and maintains that it has withstood the onslaught of skeptical criticism. He notes that Eisenbud analyzed these images in terms of Serios’ unconscious psychodynamics.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

He teaches parapsychology for ministers in training with the Centers for Spiritual Living through the Holmes Institute. He has served as vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, and is the recipient of its Pathfinder Award for outstanding contributions to the field of human consciousness.
