Princeton psychic lab finally closing down
“For 28 years, we’ve done what we wanted to do, and there’s no reason to stay and generate more of the same data,” said the laboratory’s founder, Robert G.

Many are sceptical of this PEAR work, in view of papers like the one by the (now retired but eminent) W.H. Jefferys here. It fairly enough concludes "Where data are at the margins of detectability, the solution is to design a better experiment, not more statistics... parapsychological experiments are not having their intended effect of convincing a skeptical scientific world."
