ESP Research Lab Closes After 28 Years, broadcast by NPR in 2007, is news coverage of the closure of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory, the university program that had spent nearly three decades studying claimed mind-over-machine effects. As mainstream news reporting, it is a reliable secondary account of the closure itself and of the mainstream scientific skepticism toward the lab's claimed results that the story documents. It is not the underlying PEAR research or its critics' technical rebuttals, both of which need their own separate scholarly sourcing.
