Brenda J. Dunne is President and Treasurer of ICRL, and was Laboratory Manager of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory from 1979 to 2007. She holds a Masters degree in developmental psychology from the University of Chicago, but her deeper interests are in the humanities, the history and philosophy of religion, and cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of consciousness that incorporate metaphysical as well as scientific traditions. She also serves as Education Officer of the Society for Scientific Exploration.

[+] Dr. Robert G. Jahn - Director of Research

Robert G. Jahn is Chairman of the Board of ICRL, and was director of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory from its establishment in 1979 until its close in 2007. An applied physicist and aerospace engineer, for 15 years he was Dean of the Princeton University School of Engineering and Applied Science. He has presided over major research programs in advanced aerospace propulsion systems in cooperation with NASA and the U.S. Air Force, for which he was awarded a Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Electric Propulsion. Author of two major textbooks and several hundred publications in various technical fields, he is a recipient of the Curtis W. McGraw Research Award of the American Association of Engineering Education, a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, Vice President of the Society for Scientific Exploration, and for sixteen years was a Director of the Hercules Corporation. In 2006 he received the Edgar Mitchell Award for Noetic Leadership.

[+] John C. Valentino - Chief Executive Officer

John Valentino has been exploring technology and the human mind since childhood. He first became interested in consciousness studies when he heard of the PEAR lab during his senior year of high school. After visiting with Brenda Dunne and Robert Jahn, he postponed his college attendance for a year to work full-time at the lab, where he designed computer software and hardware, conducted experiments and developed novel methods and approaches to analyzing and interpreting REG data.

John's discoveries and enthusiasm for the PEAR work persisted, and he continued his research and development full-time, even while obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree from the Integrated Business and Engineering Honors program at Lehigh University. During his college career, he spent one term as president of the IBE program, was a member of the Tau Beta Pi engineering honors society, and was the recipient of awards and grants for excellence in business and entrepreneurship.

John co-founded Psyleron in 2005 with Herb Mertz, as preliminary findings and results from subjective applications in the real world led the two to believe that there might be tremendous practical applications and benefits of bringing this work to the public. The lab and its staff sanctioned and supported the effort, and Valentino has served as Chief Executive Officer of the company since that time.

[+] Ian Cook

Ian Cook works at Psyleron as a statistician and software developer. He holds a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Stony Brook University, and an M.S. in Statistics from Lehigh University. He has taught mathematics, statistics, and writing, and has developed software and statistical methods for the semiconductors industry.

[+] Adam Curry

Adam Curry became involved with the PEAR lab in 2002. During high school, his observance of a gravity-related anomaly led to his invention of a novel technique and device for short-term earthquake forecasting. He spent several years traveling, researching, and organizing a global forecasting network. He was lauded by the US Congress, the Office of Naval Research, and was the 2002 recipient of the CERES connection prize, for which the MIT Lincoln Laboratory named an asteroid after him. His career as an inventor was diverted by an interest in poetry, and he graduated from the University of Colorado in 2008 with a degree in Creative Writing.

Adam assists with technical writing and hardware development at Psyleron, where he has worked full-time since 2008. His special interests are the scientific implications of mind-world connection, and the application of consciousness research to social and artistic philosophy.

[+] York Dobyns

York Dobyns recieved his Ph.D in theoretical physics from Princeton University. He spent 19 years studying human-machine interaction and remote perception as part of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory. He serves on the Council of the Society for Scientific Exploration and remains active in research on consciousness-related phenomena. He has also published papers on cosmology and on the relation between zero-point energy and the origin of inertia.

At Psyleron, York provides statistical analyses of research data, theoretical modeling of human-machine interactions, and design support for future research projects.

[+] Rachel Sansanelli

Rachel Sansanelli became interested in consciousness studies as an undergraduate at Lehigh where she was pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. She then went on to obtain a Master of Arts degree in Developmental Psychology from Teachers College at Columbia University, where she focused in public policy and participated in a number of large-scale research projects. Over the course of her academic career, she has won a number of research and writing prizes and scholarships. Her research interests cross the lines of Developmental Psychology and Educational Policy. She has worked for the National Center for Children and Famlies, the Appleseed Foundation, and currently holds a position at the National Institute for Early Education Research in addition to working for Psyleron.

Rachel began working at Psyleron as a research assistant in 2005 and subsequently took on the role of Customer Relations Manager. She now works part-time for the organization, assisting with customer inquiries and research.
