As originally published in 1979, Mind at Large documents a ground-breaking advance in para psychological research. It presents the astonishing findings of two symposia sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This Studies in Consciousness edition reprints that material in full, and adds a 1982 paper by Professor Robert Jahn, formerly dean of Princeton's engineering school, and head of Princeton University Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory (PEAR).

Together, these papers by the pioneers in psychical research contain strong and convincing scientific data for the existence of psychic abilities. The papers were startling in 1979. That many find them less so today is a measure of how far our society has come in recognizing the scientific validity of such previously unbelievable phenomena. That others continue to find them startling—even impossible—is a measure of how far we have yet to go.
