"For decades, physicist Russell Targ has produced some of the most significant scientific research ever conducted on the nature of consciousness. He has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that the mind can function without limitation in space and time, and that this ability is widespread, teachable, and practical" - Larry Dossey, M.D.

Russell Targ received a bachelor's degree in physics from Queens College in 1954.  He did graduate work in physics at Columbia University. As a senior staff scientist at Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, Targ developed airborne laser systems for the detection of wind shear and air turbulence. He has received two N.A.S.A. awards for inventions and contributions to lasers and laser communications.

At the Stanford Research Institute in the 1970s and 1980s, Targ and his colleague Harold E. Puthoff co-founded a 23-year, $25-million program of research into psychic abilities and their operational use for the U.S. intelligence community, including the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and Army Intelligence.   His research in “remote viewing” has been published in Nature, The Proceedings of the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE), and the Proceedings of the American Association the Advancement of Science (AAAS).  In 1983 and 1984 he accepted invitations to present remote-viewing demonstrations and to address the USSR Academy of Science on this research.  Mr. Targ has appeared on many media outlets including CNN and PBS’s Nova, Coast To Coast AM and the Phil Donahue Show.

Russell Targ is author or co-author of nine books including his most recent The Reality of ESP: A Physicist's Proof of Psychic Abilities.  Mr. Targ retired from Lockheed in 1997 and currently teaches remote viewing workshops worldwide.  His website is www.espresearch.com .
