Russell Targ is a physicist and author who has devoted much of his professional career to the research of the human capacity for psychic ability. In 1972, he co-founded the Stanford Research Institute's federally-funded program that investigated psychic abilities in humans. The program provided invaluable information and techniques to various government intelligence agencies, including the DIA, the CIA, NASA, and Army Intelligence. In his ten years with the program, Targ co-published his findings in some of the most prestigious scientific journals. He is the co-author, with Jane Katra, of five books about psychic abilities, two of which are: Miracles of Mind: Exploring Non-local Consciousness & Spiritual Healing, and The Heart of the Mind: How to Experience God Without Belief (both New World Library.).Targ was ... quite active in the development of the laser and its various applications, having written over fifty articles on advanced laser research. He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and has received two NASA awards for inventions and contributions in laser and laser communications.

Russell Targ is a physicist and author who was a pioneer in the development of the laser, and cofounder of the Stanford Research Institute's investigation into psychic abilities in the 1970s and 1980s. He is co-author of Mind Reach: Scientists Look at Psychic Abilities and The Mind Race: Understanding and Using Psychic Abilities. Targ recently retired from Lockheed Martin as a senior staff scientist, where he developed laser technology for peaceful applications.

More recently Russell Targ has gone into the book publishing business. He has arranged to republish a collection of seminal books on psychic phenomena. In his research he came to find that hundreds (or more) books had been published in the late 1800's of researchers studying psychic phenomena. It's curious why that effort stopped, but the books they left behind proved to be invaluable in Russell Targs work to develop Remote Viewing.

``What Bobby's accused of is playing chess 12 years ago in Yugoslavia,'' said Russell Targ, a former Stanford laser physicist whose late wife was Fischer's sister. ``It looks like it's a distraction from the war and the economy. Let's arrest Bobby Fischer. That will take people's minds off their troubles.''

This taped program features Russell Targ, one of the physicists responsible for top-secret, government-funded explorations of remote viewing at the Stanford Research Institute in the 1970's and 80's. In the intervening decades, the United States government has declassified much of the work and Russell has gone on to author five books that explore the evidence and the implications for these psychic abilities.
