"little consensus was realized other than the need for better direct experimental data."
"experimenters not present for the perception process."
Perception ranged from "a few cryptic descriptions at one extreme to lengthy impressionistic views."
Not bothering to read all the text, the first set of experimental analysis shows a correlation of under 20%. That is not overwhelming positive evidence, in my view point. Plus the rigorousness of the experimentation is open to question, unfortunately, and there is precious little given in terms of the actual experimentation which was made. Quite obviously because of the time span of the data collected, experimental procedure must have been changed or been modified over the years. Such questions are not addressed nor completely described.
I can not believe this came out of Princeton, and perhaps that's why the papers have not been published in any major scholarly scientific journal, like Nature or the Lancet.
