His research interests have been quite varied but have reflected four main strands concerning: factors affecting paranormal belief and experience; the nature and practice of mediumship; individual differences and situational factors that might affect experimental PK performance; and especially the supposed role of altered states of consciousness in the occurrence of extrasensory perception. This research has been supported by grant income of over £600,000 from a variety of sources including: the Perrott-Warrick Fund, Cambridge; the Bial Foundation, Porto; the Society for Psychical Research, London; the Institut für Grenzgebiete der Psychologie und Psychohygeine, Freiburg; the Parapsychology Foundation, New York; the Parapsychological Association, Columbus, OH; and the Confederation of Healing Organisations, UK.
