Welcome to the International Remote Viewing Association
IRVA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the responsible use and development of remote viewing.
We are an independently formed member organization of scientists, remote viewing professionals, students, and other interested persons.
For more information, read the Letter of Invitation from Russell Targ, President Emeritus of
IRVA.
Remote viewing
is a novel perceptual discipline for gaining information not available
to the ordinary physical senses. Used extensively by so-called "psychic spies" during the Cold War for classified military projects, it has
a long history both as an intelligence gathering tool and as the subject of research and applications in the civilian world. Remote viewing
has now taken a long step into the public domain with the formation of a professional association to educate, research, propose standards,
test performance, and promote public awareness of this unique human mental capacity.

Announcing IRVA 2012 Call For Papers
The IRVA 2012 Remote Viewing Conference seeks to provide a
forum for the presentation and discussion of remote viewing. Our aim is to enrich the issues
and contribute to the understanding of remote viewing with empirical research and an overall perspective.
We solicit submissions in any area that explores issues relevant to remote viewing or related fields. Appropriate topics include
remote viewing history, philosophy, theory, practice, training techniques, research, etc. Innovative contributions that do
not fit within these parameters will also be considered if they may be of interest to conference attendees.
The conference will be held June 15-17, 2012, at the Green Valley Ranch in Las Vegas, Nevada.
