MYSTERY WIRE — Does psychic ability run in families? A scientific team spent years trying to find out if psychic traits are genetic and are passed down from one generation to the next.
“Every culture in the world has folklore, about families where people seem to be psychic,” said Dr. Dean Radin, one of the world’s premier investigators of psychic abilities and Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). “So that would suggest that there is an element of the talent that is able to be inherited. That in turn suggests that there are genetics involved.”
Along with his work at IONS, Dr. Radin is also an Associated Distinguished Professor of Integral and Transpersonal Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). He has degrees from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Radin has been researching consciousness for more than 30 years, even while working on advanced research and development at AT&T Bell Laboratories and GTE Laboratories.

During those years and earlier, the U.S. government funded programs to investigate and exploit psychic abilities, including the CIA’s work on creating psychic spies known as remote viewers.
Other governments did the same, notably Russia and China. Researchers came to believe that most humans have some level of psychic ability and that a small number of individuals qualify as psychic superstars.
Dr. Radin and his colleagues set out to see if these abilities are stronger in some family bloodlines. The team was genuinely surprised by what they found.
“What we originally thought is that we would find that there would be differences in a positive direction and a sense we’d find mutations in the psychics as compared to the controls. But actually, it’s the other way around,” Dr. Radin told Mystery Wire. “There are also variants out there, there are mutations. And so the subset that we found in our control group, who never reported any psychic abilities, and no one in their family ever did, they are the mutants.”
The study began with 3,000 people being interviewed and asked about their personal psychic experiences. Out of the original 3,000 people only 13 “were reasonably sure” they had psychic abilities while 13 said they absolutely did not. “As it turned out, the 13 people we ended up with were all women,” according to Dr. Radin. “It was very difficult to find 13 women who’d never recorded anything psychic, or that no one in her family did. That’s what took a long time. So for each of the individuals, we got their DNA, ran the full genome, and then did a variety of bioinformatics type tests on it to compare the DNA and find out are there any differences? Well, as it turned out, we found some differences.”
