Hi Paul and Miles I've highlighted one part of Paul's interesting reply as I think he may be in danger of missing the point... Budden's view surely is that the vast majority of us will not be affected by growing exposure to electro magnetic radiation. It is only a very small minority - his 'hypersensitive individuals' that may be. That's partly why the Psychic Research Foundation set out to establish baselines of paranormal experiences within a given geographic area (see www.psychc-research.org and follow links to 'surveys' for more information). Our work here has only been partly succesful - and our methodology has been criticised. Some of that criticism is valid and we need to refine methods, possibly link up with others conducting similar work, and explore other avenues of research and funding. As Paul implies. resources and funding - and energy(!) - are limiting factors. Whilst there is enormous funding for research into (in the UK for example) the physical effects of increased use of mobile phones, there is nothing for investigation of much harder to pin down psychological impacts. Interesting in an environment where at least there is little scientific disagreement that incidences of schizophrenia are on the increase... Patrick Bannon Psychic Research Foundation PS - also interested in talk of a library or archive - the Foundation has collected a lot of visual material over recent years. Many of the images are clearly faked but often presented by subjects in good faith - a clear example of individuals' affected by bizarre and disturbing experiences, desperately trying to find 'real world' - or 'hardware-based' explanations for them > From: "jp_hailey" <jp_hailey@...> > Reply-To: mysterylights@yahoogroups.com > Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2005 19:55:51 -0000 > To: mysterylights@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [mysterylights] Re: Anomaly Archives in Austin, Texas needs On-Site > Assistant Curator > > Whether Budden is right that people are sensitive to Electromagnetic > radiation, I think is missing a point.
