William G. Braud
William G. Braud (November 26, 1942 – May 13, 2012) was an American psychologist and parapsychologist.
Braud obtained his Ph.D. in experimental psychology from the University of Iowa.[1] He was director of research in parapsychology at the Mind Science Foundation.[2] He taught at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (1992–2010).[3]
During the 1970s and early 1980s he conducted a series of experiments to test for psychokinetic influences upon living systems.[4] Braud with Charles Honorton were the first to modify the ganzfeld procedure for parapsychological use.[5]
