Rupert posted a link to the original subtitled German documentary about Pam Smart and Jaytee... dogs that know when their owners are coming home... Sheldrake's paper here.
Cool, will have to look this over.
My understanding is the data was ultimately inconclusive, though as I recall Wiseman apparently BSed his experiments?
You might want to read Wiseman's paper rather than the peanut gallery's commentary.

Hahahaha. So the posters here are now just the "peanut gallery"?
The real Arouet seems pretty harsh!
...all the debate seems to accomplish is to distinguish people on the basis of whether or not the lines figure 4 look like they are rising over time...
Ah, you've just outed yourself as a Psuedoskeptic. Welcome to the Dark Side. :)The lines in Fig. 4 are rising, so if there is any polarization of opinion as you suggest, it must be for some other reason.
If you wanted to avoid showing bias, you might have also posted the link to Sheldrake's comments on Wiseman. Just to help people decide, here's the page with the links to the WIseman paper that you urged us to read.
Nonetheless, this subject has had pages and pages of posts in the past and is and will remain polarised. So anyone new to it can follow the links, watch the videos and make up their own minds.
I'm going to check out that Wiseman paper when I get around to it, thanks. I lost respect for the guy on the way he handeled the Bem "replications", especially in light of the new paper that came out. Just curious to see if a similar style comes through here too ... would say a lot about the guy at that point.
