About the study

Thank you for considering participating in our study and the IRVA-IRU Research Lab.

IRVA is now seeking intermediate to advanced remote viewers to participate
in a 3-day research lab, taking place September 30 to October 1, 2025, in
Alamogordo, New Mexico. This event will be held just prior to the 2025 IRVA
Conference, scheduled at the same location from October 2–5.
We have received a Bial Foundation Grant to carry out a collection of 5 studies. The International Remote Viewing Association is the administering body. This is a Pioneering Study on Consciousness, Remote Viewing, and AI/Virtual Reality.


The study will address essential questions about perception, feedback, and the role of new technologies in psi functioning, and will include five primary experiments:

1. AI vs. Real Targets: Comparing viewer accuracy with AI-generated images versus real-world photographic targets.


2. Perception of Written Language: Investigating whether viewers and dreamers can accurately perceive written text embedded within targets.


3. Virtual Reality Targets: Testing whether immersive VR environments enhance participant performance.


4. AI Monitoring vs. Human Assistance: Exploring the effectiveness of AI-guided monitoring compared to human or solo session conditions.


5. Feedback Conditions: Determining whether Feedback and the type of feedback can have a retro-causal effect on remote viewing.

We may also look at timing and precognition.

All of our studies will require remote viewers to complete remote viewing sessions with photographic, video or virtual reality environments as the targets. Viewers will typically have as long as 30 minutes to complete their remote viewing sessions, although timing may vary and if viewers want more time to complete sessions we may be arrange for that.
