Remote viewing

Brown's remote viewing findings have been dismissed by some other scientists, such as his colleague Scott O. Lilienfeld, and he has refused to subject his ideas and his claimed psychic powers to independent scientific testing on what Lilienfeld describes as "curious" grounds.[1] By contractual agreement with the university, Brown is not permitted to mention his affiliation with Emory during interviews about remote viewing.[2]

Among other assertions, Brown says he has conversed with Jesus Christ about various topics.[2]

Other training

Brown learned the basic Transcendental Meditation and an advanced technique called the TM-Sidhi program in 1991. He engaged in Yogic Flying at the Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa in 1992.[3]
