Sciences Cutting Edge 83With results such as this, Swann’s psychic ability began toflower and the concept of remote viewing drew that much nearer.“I went to the ASPR two or three days a week for manymonths and tried to identify an endless series of targets—while strapped into a chair with my brain waves being monitoredon an EEG machine by Janet Mitchell. At first I was notvery good at this kind of ‘perceiving,’ but as the months woreon, I got better at it,” Swann later explained. 20It was during this work for Dr. Schmeidler and Dr. Osis thatthe term remote viewing was first used by Swann and Mitchell.“It was coined to identify a particular kind of experiment—nota particular kind of psi ability,” Swann later wrote. 21The experiments revolved around out-of-body experiencesthat, in earlier times, had been called clairvoyance,ecsomatic experiences, bi-location, or astral projection.Swann recalled:Janet Mitchell and I devised a playing-around experimentin which I would try to “see” the weatherconditions in distant cities. Since some kind of feedbackwas absolutely necessary to determine whatwas “seen,” after my distant weather impressionshad been given and recorded, Janet, or someone else,could immediately telephone the weather informationnumber in the distant city and find out what theweather was doing. The cities we were to play aroundwith “seeing” were selected by third parties. So unlessI had somehow memorized all of the weather conditionsin a large number of cities, it is reasonable toconclude that a “distant seeing” had taken place if theresponse was fed back as correct. 22
