Dean Radin is Senior Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, California, and Laboratory Director of the Consciousness Research Laboratory. He also serves as Adjunct Professor at Sonoma State University and is on the Distinguished Consulting Faculty at Saybrook Graduate School in San Francisco.
Dr. Radin earned a BSEE with honors, magna cum laude, in electrical engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and an MS in electrical engineering and PhD in experimental psychology from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. Early in his career he was a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories and later a Principal Scientist at GTE Laboratories, where for a decade he was engaged in R&D on advanced telecommunications products, systems and devices. Radin’s principal research interests have focused on extended capacities of the mind, especially those suggesting deep forms of connectedness among humans and the environment. For the past 25 years, he has investigated “psychic” phenomena such as distant healing, telepathy, precognition, and mind-matter interactions at Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, University of Nevada, and SRI International, the latter as a visiting scientist on a formerly classified US government program. Before joining the research staff at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, he was in charge of a psi research program at Interval Research Corporation (funded by Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen), and he co-founded the Boundary Institute, a nonprofit research lab studying the boundaries between physics and consciousness.
Radin has served four times as President of the AAAS-affiliated Parapsychological Association (PA), an international organization of scientists and scholars interested in psychic and related phenomena, and is President for 2005-2006. The AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) is the largest mainstream scientific organization in the world. He is a referee for many scientific journals, and serves on the editorial boards for the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Journal of Scientific Exploration, Journal of the International Society of Life Information Science, and Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine. His research awards include the Parapsychological Association’s Outstanding Achievement Award and the Rhine Research Center’s Alexander Imich Award for advances in experimental parapsychology. He earned three R&D Awards from GTE Laboratories and Bell Labs, and he has been supported by grants from the Richard Hodgson Memorial Fund (Harvard University), the Bial Foundation (Portugal), the Parapsychology Foundation (New York), the Society for Psychical Research (London), the Swedish Society for Psychical Research (Stockholm), the Institut für Grenzgebiete der Psychologie und Psychohygiene (Germany), the Bigelow Foundation (Las Vegas), and the Samueli Institute for Information Biology (Alexandria, Virginia).
Radin’s research has been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, New York Times Magazine, Psychology Today, Life, New Scientist, and the Wall Street Journal, and he has appeared on television programs including The Nature of Things (CBC), History’s Mysteries (History Channel), Closer to Truth (PBS), Thinking Allowed (PBS), NOVA (PBS), 20/20 (ABC), Life After Life (HBO), The Unexplained (A&E), Good Morning America (ABC), Discovery Magazine, Discovery Health, Daily Planet, Science Daily (Discovery Channel), and Unsolved Mysteries (NBC). He also appeared in a special features interview on the DVD version of the movie, Suspect Zero, and is a featured scientist in the 2006 movie, What the Bleep Do We Know: Down the Rabbit Hole. Radin has presented over a hundred invited lectures to scientific and popular audiences around the world, is author and co-author of nearly 250 journal articles and technical reports, and the author of the best-selling book, The Conscious Universe (1997, HarperCollins).
