An interesting little factoid:
The Dr. John Hartwell from Utrecht, The Netherlands, that this article talks about is my former employer. He's not doing paranormal rresearch anymore, he's a half-retired electrical engineer and computer programmer in North Carolina. He's spent the last ten years of his life making e-commerce web sites.
When I read this article, I knew immediately it was MY John Hartwell they were talking about, so I shot him an email asking him his opinion about this.
While he knows most of the names mentioned in this article ("If Dick Bierman built that random number generator, I'm sure it's of the highest quality."), the report of his own research was fairly wanting. He said that while this article described his project in loose terms, it grossly mischaractarized his results.
His project found no significant incidence of subjects having a physical response in advance of the visual stimulus. He had one single subject who appeared to be a dramatic exception to that, but whose results were attributed to chance inside the strict parameters of the experimental hypothesis.
