Star Gate is the largest funded program in the history of psi research receiving about [...] million in funding from 1972 to 1995. Researchers from SRI International, and later at Science Applications International Corporation, in association with various U.S. intelligence agencies participated in this program.
Using the remote viewing method, research focused on understanding the applicability and nature of psi in general but mostly upon informational psi. Volume 1: Remote Viewing (1972-1984) and Volume 2: Remote Viewing (1985-1995) include all aspects of RV including laboratory trials and several operational results. Volume 3 focuses on laboratory investigations on psychokinesis. Volume 4: Operational Remote Viewing: Government Memorandums and Reports includes an analysis of the applied remote viewing program and a selection of documents that provide a narrative on the behind the scenes activities of Star Gate.
In a total of 504 separate missions from 1972 to 1995, remote viewing produced actionable intelligence prompting 89% of the customers to return with additional missions. The Star Gate data indicate that
informational psi is a scientifically valid phenomenon. These data have led to the development of a physics and neuroscience based testable model for the underlying mechanism, which considers informational psi as a normal, albeit atypical, phenomenon.
The Star Gate data found insufficient evidence to support the causal psi (psychokinesis) hypothesis.

Über den Autor
Edwin C. May, Ph.D. (Nuclear Physics), is a leading figure in anomalous cognition research, and has authored more than 500 research and technical papers in this area. He was with the U.S. government's psi research program, Star Gate, from late 1975 to 1995, and was the research director from 1985 to 1995, at SRI International and SAIC. He is the president of the Laboratories for Fundamental Research in Palo Alto, California. Sonali Bhatt Marwaha, Ph.D. (Psychology), is a research associate with the Laboratories for Fundamental Research. Her interests include a synthesis of the cognitive sciences and anomalous cognition research which can lead to theoretical developments in the field.
