Dr. Jane Katra holds a Ph.D. in Public Health from the University of Oregon where she taught in the 1980’s. Dr. Katra has also practiced as a spiritual healer since 1974, after receiving instructions during a near‑death experience.

Dr. Katra has given positive data in experiments of remote viewing and precognition; as well as of psychokinesis where she has influenced the path of photons in the double-slit experiment, the GSR and EEGs of people at a distance, and the randomness of moving dots on a computer monitor.
