Precognition
The claims the writer was given for Precognition, in the order they were given.

Benjamin Simon considers that if Betty Hill's claim about a recently-discovered star on her star map is true and the map is valid, the only explanation would be that she has precognition.
“If that is true, of course, and if her map is valid, then the only thing she can claim is that she has precognition.”

Precognition is producing information about a target prior to that information actually existing in time and space, such as describing an event before it happens.
“PRECOGNITION: Producing information about a target prior to that information actually existing in time/space (e.g., describing an event before it actually happens).”

A subject in a psi experiment could either be using precognition to predict when a variance from the norm will occur, or could be causing the variance through direct mental intervention, with no formal experiment yet designed to differentiate between the two.
“This means there are two things that can always be happening. A subject can be using precognition to predict when a variance from the norm will occur, or can be causing the variance by direct mental intervention. A formal experiment to differentiate between the two has not yet been designed, at least not one that I'm aware of.”

Diseases for which only a very small percentage of patients will ever get well or recover should be the ones targeted while attempting to prove remote influencing, since even precognitive selection cannot significantly bend the bottom-line statistic for how many patients recover.
“These kinds of diseases should be the ones that are targeted while attempting to prove remote influencing. If you continually and statistically violate the bottom line expectation for getting well, then you are probably remote influencing, since even precognitive selection can't significantly bend that bottom line statistic for how many get well.”

Robert Monroe initially attributed his dream visions to release of material from the unconscious mind before a major event brought the phenomenon strongly to his attention.
“At first, I paid no particular attention to the phenomenon, attributing the dream visions to release of material from the unconscious. A major event brought it strongly to my attention.”

Robert Monroe established a pattern of consistency in his precognitive experiences: a hissing sound plus a valve-opening sensation equals a future event vision.
“To date, a pattern of consistency has been established: H (Hissing sound) + V (Valve-opening sensation) = F (Future event vision).”

Robert Monroe experienced a hissing sound localised in the forebrain preceding his precognitive visions, followed by a sensation of a small rectangular door hinged at one end swinging downward to an angle of about 45 degrees, exposing a round hole.
“There would be a hissing sound, localized in the forebrain, and I would get the sensation of a small rectangular door, hinged at one end, swinging downward to an angle of about 45°. This exposed a perfectly round hole.”

During his precognitive visions, Robert Monroe would see and semi-experience an event or incident like a dream, but retained all of his consciousness and sense awareness, with the dream superimposed directly over outside stimuli, perceiving both readily.
“Immediately thereafter, I would see and semiexperience an event or incident like a dream, except that I retained all of my consciousness and sense awareness. The dream would be superimposed directly over outside stimuli. I could perceive both quite readily.”

Loyd Auerbach considers it more likely, given corroborating witnesses to Lois manifesting visually and Chris's lack of any other psychic perceptions, that Lois was an interacting apparition rather than Chris being a super-psychic accessing information through clairvoyance or retrocognition.
“But since there were other witnesses to Lois actually manifesting visually, a heavier emphasis can legitimately be placed on the former possibility rather than the latter. Add to that Chris’s utter lack of any other psychic perceptions or experiences, and I think we’re left with a likely apparition as opposed to a one-note super-psychic.”

Graham Nichols considers emotional bond or emotional impact between participants to be a key factor in the success of psychic phenomena such as precognition and telepathy.
“i tend to talk about it in terms of maybe emotional impact... when there's a strong bond between the two participants it tends to be more successful in terms of psychic research so I guess I tend to frame it in the sense of emotion or emotional impact”

In Julia Mossbridge's scheme, mental time travel covers precognition and also memory, knowing something about the future that cannot be known by other means.
“Mental time travel is like precognition. And it's also like memory ... precognition is like mental time travel, knowing something about the future that you can't know through other means.”

In Julia Mossbridge's scheme, informational time travel is information being sent back to a person in time without the use of precognition, for example by a device.
“There's informational time travel, which is just getting information sent back to you in time. without using precognition. So like potentially using a device”

Photons emitted by a light source during a fixed on-period behave as if the system already knows how long it will be on, with both the switch-on and the future switch-off acting as boundary conditions shaping the group's behaviour.
“they start to behave as if the system knows it's gonna be on for five minutes. So it's like for the photons, they know that they're in this group, it's called boundary conditions in physics, the boundary condition of the on and the boundary condition of the off and the future are both shaping this group's behavior.”

Examining the first minute of a five-minute light emission allows the total on-duration to be predicted at a relatively high accuracy rate, even when the person holding the light source does not yet know when they will switch it off, because the emission behaves differently from one that will be switched off after two minutes.
“you can then look at the first minute of this five minutes and know that at a relatively high accuracy rate that it's going to be on for five minutes even if the person who's holding the flashlight doesn't know that in five minutes they're going to turn it off because it behaves differently than something that's going to be turned off in two minutes”

Julia Mossbridge has studied precognition at two scales: unconscious physiological responses on the 100-millisecond to seconds scale, and conscious, deliberate precognitive remote viewing on the minutes, days and weeks scale.
“I've gone to the really unconscious physiological scale and doing things at the 100 milliseconds to seconds time scale. And then on the other end, the more conscious, more deliberate precognitive remote viewing, you know, minutes, days, weeks, et cetera, scale. So I've studied both of those.”

A meta-analysis conducted after Daryl Bem's precognition studies found that the more replicable results were the fast, unconscious ones, while the slower studies with a longer gap between the information and its future presentation did not replicate as well.
“the real upshot at a meta-analysis that came after him is that the ones that were more replicable were the ones that were unconscious. So they were the ones that were fast, unconscious, not trying to do things. The slower ones that took more time in between the information and when it was given in the future, they did not replicate as well.”

The conventional way of explaining an averted precognitive event is that the event feeds information back to the earlier moment and the person then moves onto a new timeline in which that event did not happen.
“So we usually think about that scenario as if this B, the missile launch that did happen in North Korea, feeds back to day 1A ... And now you're on a new timeline where that event B didn't happen. It's like it allows you to select a better timeline.”

Julia Mossbridge holds that in an averted precognition the informational substrate already contains the intention behind the event, the giving of the warning, the fact that the person could foil the intention, and the fact that they will foil it, so no timeline is changed.
“the informational substrate knows that there's going to be this missile launch. It gives you this information at the football game. and you prepare to destroy the missile ... The knowledge that there's this intention for the missile launch ... and the knowledge that you will foil that intention.”

Julia Mossbridge holds that under the informational substrate model precognition works with a substrate aware of what needs to happen, rather than only with events that reach physical manifestation in time.
