  26. Are you sure this is not the institute for PARApsychological Research?
  27. The titles and your description of her "work" suggest that she knows
  28. little if anything about the area of psychology called "psychophysics".
  29. May I recommend that you also post this to sci.skeptic, if you haven't
  30. already.  I'm sure someone there, perhaps even Martin Gardner, could
  31. clarify this person's approach.
