Paul H. Smith, PhD, served as president of the International Remote Viewing Association an organization of which he is a founder. A former Army intelligence officer, he served for seven years as part of the military’s top-secret remote viewing program. He is author of Reading the Enemy’s Mind and The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing. He currently serves as president and chief trainer for Remote Viewing Instructional Services. His website is https://rviewer.com/

Here he describes the experimental protocols that distinguish remote viewing from other types of psychic tasks. He notes that while there are many approaches to remote viewing, ideally the protocols should remain constant. However, in practice, remote viewers are often experimenting with the protocols and pushing the accepted boundaries.
