Impressed and even somewhat amazed by her success, the student’s thesis adviser, Professor Robert G. Jahn, then dean of the Princeton School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, adopted the study of psychokinesis as one of his research pursuits. In 1979, Jahn founded the PEAR laboratory in order to pursue further experimentation into human-machine interactions...

When the balls were dropped without any human interaction with the experiment, there was a consistent cascading effect in which the center carton received the most balls while those to its left and right received progressively fewer.
