About Me
I am free-lance researcher in parapsychology since seventies. I was educated as technical degree (retired) and I gave hundreds of courses and lectures on parapsychology, history of parapsychology and recommended books. During the period 1990-2004 have been Editor in Chief of the Revista Argentina de Psicologia Paranormal. I published articles on the history of parapsychology and biography of psychics and mediums. My areas of interest are ESP under ganzfeld stimulation, hypnosis, and other states of consciousness. I was member of the American Society for Psychical Research until 2007 (now closed). I have received four grants from BIAL Foundation to develop parapsychological research, particularly on the ganzfeld and psicomanteum techniques (see list of articles), International Journal of Parapsychology, Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, and others for which I had published more than fifty book reviews. I am currently serving as Book Review editor in the E-Bulletin Psi.
