Brenda Dunne
Biography
Brenda J. Dunne, MS, is an American developmental psychologist who earned degrees in psychology and humanities from Mundelein College in Chicago (1976) and a MS in Human Development from the University of Chicago (1979). She served as manager of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory for 28 years from 1979, overseeing studies on consciousness influencing physical systems like random event generators and remote perception. While PEAR explored anomalous effects potentially overlapping with UAP research interests, it focused on mind-matter interactions rather than UFOs directly. Key achievements include co-authoring books with Robert G. Jahn: Margins of Reality (1987), Consciousness and the Source of Reality (2009), Quirks of the Quantum Mind (2012), and Molecular Memories. She co-edited Filters and Reflections and Biology: Is Consciousness the Life-Force. Dunne has been a Councilor for the Society for Scientific Exploration since 1986, serving as Education Officer, and is President/Treasurer of the International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL).
