Clinical Trials: One of the most important medical inventions in the last 100 years

source: Oxford BRC    2016年7月14日
Professor Sallie Lamb, Co-Director of the Oxford Clinical Trials Research Unit at the University of Oxford, talks about the history of clinical trials, and explains important concepts such as randomisation, masking and minimisation of bias. Professor Lamb describes how trials have progressed the management of nearly all medical conditions, and what challenges remain. She discusses the range of ethical dilemmas raised by clinical trials, and the difficulties of operationalising large experiments involving many hundreds and sometimes thousands of people.

Cass R. Sunstein: "The World According to Star Wars" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google    2016年7月28日
Cass R. Sunstein, the Harvard legal scholar, former White House advisor, and co-author of “Nudge”, explores the lessons of Star Wars as they relate to childhood, fathers, the Dark Side, rebellion, and redemption. As it turns out, Lucas’s galaxy also has a lot to teach us about constitutional law, economics, and political uprisings in our own. Ultimately, Sunstein argues, Star Wars is about the freedom of choice and our never-ending ability to make the right decision when the chips are down.

Researching Anomalous Cognition with Edwin C. May

source: New Thinking Allowed    2016年7月7日
Edwin C. May, PhD, was involved in the military intelligence psychic spying program, popularly referred to as Stargate, for over twenty years. During the last decade, he was the director of research for that program. In this context, he produced over a hundred scientific publications. His academic training was in experimental nuclear physics. He is coauthor of ESP Wars: East and West and also Anomalous Cognition: Remote Viewing Research and Theory. He is the coeditor of a two volume anthology titled Extrasensory Perception: Support, Skepticism, and Science.
Here he explains why he felt the need to coin the term, “anomalous cognition,” to refer to phenomena previously known as extrasensory perception, clairvoyance, or remote viewing. He then describes a variety of research questions that concerned him – such as how to find the most talented subjects and under what conditions did they best perform. His research suggests that about one percent of the population is capable of highly accurate and relatively consistent remote viewing performance.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness exploration. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
