William tiller intention experiment

William Tiller was a professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford University. During his retirement he carried out experiments appearing to show that psychic energy can directly influence chemical and biological systems.

William Tiller was born in Toronto, Canada in September He gained a BSc in engineering physics in from the University of Toronto, followed by an MSc and PhD from the same university in and respectively. He was employed for nine years at Westinghouse Research Laboratories the scientific arm of Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he built a world-class research group investigating the behaviour of cooled materials.

He then accepted a full professorship appointment something unprecedented at the time in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University, a position he held until During his retirement he pursued a long-standing interest in the deeper connections between consciousness and reality. He published several books and more than a hundred scientific papers, and established a foundation to promote research and collaboration between psychoenergetics researchers and their organizations.

From the late s to mids, Tiller and colleagues developed a novel research program investigating the effect of stored mental intention on chemical and biological processes. Tiller arranged for small groups of meditators to try to transmit specific intentions to small physical devices that would show up in a later experiment. This was an electronic circuit designed to produce random voltage spikes; the noise was influenced or 'imprinted' by human intention and stored in the memory of the device.

Testing at Stanford University found that pH fell by over 0. Five years later, Tiller and Dibble, collaborating with two other researchers, replicated and extended the imprinted device effect on acidity profiles and found hitherto undiscovered influences on reaction kinetics, suggesting new mechanisms of action. Working with Michael Kohane, Tiller probed the interplay of electromagnetic fields and imprinted intention on the growth and metabolism of 10, fly larvae of the genus Drosophila Melanogaster.

Groups of larvae placed next to imprinted devices and exposed to EM fields gave growth and metabolism rates intermittent between EM exposed and non-exposed groups, suggesting a partial protective effect from intention. In a study reported in , Tiller and Dibble reported an extension of the basic imprinted device protocol.
