'''Roger D. Nelson''' is the director of the [[Global Consciousness Project]] (GCP), an international, multi-laboratory collaboration founded in 1997 which aimed to study [[collective consciousness]].<ref>https://archived.parapsych.org/members/r_d_nelson.html</ref> From 1980 to 2002, he was Coordinator of Research at the [[Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research]] (PEAR) laboratory at Princeton University.<ref>http://noosphere.princeton.edu/bio.html</ref> His professional focus was the study of [[consciousness]] and [[intention]] and the role of the mind in the physical world. His work integrates [[science]] and [[spirituality]] {{Citation needed|date=July 2017}}, including research that is directly focused on numinous communal experiences.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040831000916/http://www.princeton.edu/~rdnelson/ Roger Nelson at Princeton University (archived)]</ref> |

Building on years of laboratory experiments studying the effects of human intention on sensitive engineering equipment {{Citation needed|date=July 2017}}, Nelson began using [[random event generator]] (REG) technology in the field to study effects of special states of [[egregore|group consciousness]].<ref>https://archived.parapsych.org/members/r_d_nelson.html</ref> This led to the GCP, a globally distributed network of REGs around the world sending data continuously over the Internet to a server in Princeton, NJ. The network is designed to register indications of a hypothesized global consciousness responding to major world events such as 9/11/2001, the beginnings of wars, or New Year's Eve. |

Nelson's professional degrees are in experimental [[cognitive psychology]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040831000916/http://www.princeton.edu/~rdnelson/ Roger Nelson at Princeton University (archived)]</ref> Until his retirement in 2002, he served as the coordinator of experimental work in the [[Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab]] (PEAR), directed by [[Robert Jahn]] in the department of [[Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering]], School of Engineering/Applied Science, [[Princeton University]].<ref>http://noosphere.princeton.edu/bio.html</ref> |
