Ray Hyman

1972-01-01year known, day not recorded

University of Oregon psychologist commissioned by an Air Force-funded ARPA program to evaluate Uri Geller at SRI in the 1970s; concluded Geller was fraudulent, costing Puthoff and Targ their government contract to study him. Two decades later, served on the CIA-commissioned 1995 panel that concluded remote viewing had never produced actionable intelligence.

An editorial classification, the same kind of field as cat - it rests on no page and does not claim to.

    Caveat REWORDED 30 August 2026. "Found it fraudulent" is an accusation of FRAUD against a living scientist, recorded in this map's own voice with no source a reader can open. Fraud alleges intent to deceive; what Hyman is known to have argued is that the protocols were inadequate. The sentence now says what kind of criticism it was and leaves the accusation of dishonesty out, because this project holds nothing that would support it.
