Brenda's Biography from The Galileo Commission Website (https://galileocommission.org/brenda-dunne)

Brenda Dunne, President and Treasurer of ICRL, was Laboratory Manager of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory from its inception in 1979 until its closing in 2007. With Robert Jahn, she is a co-author of three major textbooks on consciousness-related anomalies. Although she holds a Masters degree in developmental psychology from the University of Chicago, her deeper interests are in the humanities, the history and philosophy of religion, and cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of consciousness that incorporate metaphysical as well as scientific traditions. She also serves as Education Officer of the Society for Scientific Exploration.

Brenda is a very down to Earth, fun but focused lady who I must say was a pleasure to engage in discussion. In this episode we talk about the PEAR lab, set up with the aim of gathering data on how consciousness can make changes to results by means of intention alone. We look at some of the experiments done, their results, and what they imply. We also dig in to the skeptical arguments against such phenomena and why they should or should not be considered reasonable.
