Radin has conducted parapsychological research in several areas, drawing the personal conclusion that psychic phenomena exist. However, Radin’s research has failed to capture the attention of mainstream science and the scientific community as a whole, who support mainstream models incompatible with, and often contradictory to, Radin’s conclusions. Some of this research includes: Random number generators and world events: Events which capture the attention of many people may affect random number generators.[9] Other publications report analytical studies on how lunar cycles may affect psi and winning at gambling casinos. Winnings on slot machines rise 2% during a full-moon.[10] Presentiment experiments: Experimental tests of presentiment effects in the autonomic and central nervous system.[11] Remote Healing: Subjects constructed clay dolls of themselves. His research showed that the subjects’ blood and nerve activity increases when a “healer” 100 yards (91 m) away massaged the dolls.[12]Radin also tested Umbanda mediums in Brazil, who attempted to send healing thoughts to American subjects at UNLV. These healing thoughts were not only sent to specific individuals but also back in time.[13] Psychokinesis: In 2000 Radin attended a spoon bending party. To his surprise the spoon he was holding started to bend. The bowl momentarily felt like putty. Using one finger and thumb he easily pinched the end of the bowl over, nearly bending the bowl to half its length. Dean had decided in advance that the only bend he might find interesting would be of the bowl of a spoon, because to do this without tools and/or leverage is beyond the capability of most people, including himself. The silver-plated soup spoon he held bent as he had previously desired. [14] Kinesiology: Radin ran double-blind and triple-blind trials with 58 adults using vials of sugar and sand and a dynamometer, which measures a hand’s grip strength. The results seemed to show that people’s muscle strength decreased significantly when they held vials of sugar.[15] Robotics: Subjects attempt to manipulate a robotic arm to pick up an M & M. Unobserved, the robotic arm can complete the job in 25 steps. With a human’s mental attention to the task, the job can be done in two steps.[16] Psychics: The best psychic averages about 3 in 10, like the best baseball hitters .300,” says Radin. The rest of us bat about 1 or 2 in 10.” [17] Remote viewing and future machines: While Dean Radin was at the Conscious Research Laboratory, University of Nevada, Las Vegas he worked with remote viewer Joseph McMoneagle. Radin conceptualized a future machine that as yet did not exist. McMoneagle used his remote viewing into the future in an effort to obtain information concerning this machine to produce patentable ideas.[18] Radin wrote that the probable reality of remote viewing was scientifically established by the US government’s Stargate Project.[19] Historical: About the famous Indian rope trick Radin, says,” There are all these classic cases of the fakirs throwing the rope in the air and the little boy climbs up to the top and disappears and all kinds of magical things happen. All the Easterners see it and will swear up and down that they saw it, whereas the Westerners see nothing. They were watching the fakir just stand there with his arms folded and the little boy standing there and the rope is on the ground and nothing happened.” Radin’s explanation is the fakir “melted minds.”[20] Radin also has a positive interest in using remote viewing for psychic archaeology, his preferred name now being “intuitive archaeology

Thirteen species coming from the genus Panaeolus contain the compound psilocybin. These psychoactive species include Panaeolus cyanescens and Panaeolus subbalteatus. The bluing species of this genus are sometimes segregated into a separate genus called Copelandia.

In the year 1954, R. Gordon Wasson returned to Huatla, this time with the photographer A. Richardson, with the intent to finish his study of the magic mushrooms.
