We are entering an age of scientific discovery that is beginning to chip away at longstanding ideas about how time works. But more than 30 years ago portions of the IC became aware of the science supporting precognition -- the often under-developed human capacity to retrieve accurate information about events not determined or revealed until after the information is already retrieved. An idea not yet mainstreamed in polite scientific circles largely due to taboo, scientific progress related to the nature of precognition and what it tells us about the future continues to be pursued quietly by mainstream scientists and others. In this talk, Dr. Mossbridge will speak to what she has learned in her 15+ years straddling mainstream cognitive neuroscience, edge science, and technology in her research on precognition. She will aslo give recommendations for a new IC-based program to train analysts in precognition, with the twin goals of: 1) improving analysts' capacity to think clearly without bias, and 2) screening for highly skilled precogs who might provide operational FUTINT as we move forward into what has been called the unknown.
Here are some links:
* Dr. Mossbridge gave an
introductory/preview lecture with Carmen Medina and answered questions related to this topic in a popular Fireside Chat in September 2021.
* A special issue of Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research and Practice was devoted to precognition in 2018 in response to Dr. Mossbridge's initiation of a review of the topic.
Here is one article in that issue.
* Here's an
engaging lay audience article about mental, informational, and physical time travel, written by Dr. Mossbridge
* Dr. Mossbridge wrote a textbook about consciousness published by
American Psychological Association Books (2017) -- in it, she describes a novel approach to understanding time -- and together the authors describe a new approach to thinking about consciousness without assuming it follows the rules of physical reality.
