Yeah..... no. No breakthroughs. Utts is still one of the few scientists who publishes in scientific journals and who believes psi has been established. I have no doubt she is a fine statistician and is entirely correct that the data she is working with statistically supports psi. Unfortunately, the quality of the data (actually, meta-data) she's working with is suspect (see Ray Hyman).
I don't think we'll be treated to any breakthroughs until the quality of the science and the data is such that it can be published outside of the insular world of psi researchers. Creating a valid protocol and conducting such research is fairly straightforward, so one wonders why we don't see psi research regularly published in the literature after all this time if psi is real.

It's not organized enough yet. Every researcher has to more or less start from near zero and re-invent the wheel, so to speak. So we only make so much progress, and fail to build on it. from generation to generation.

Parapsychology is the study of psychology and other attributes combined. Those attributes could be anything that is quantitative and adjacent to a psychological matter. So your question is so broad that is needs to be narrowed down in order to come to a specific answer.

It seems to me that the most interesting area is near-death experience. There have been two large-scale studies of NDE published in peer-reviewed journals, that of van Lommel in The Lancet (2001) and that of Parnia in Resuscitation (2014). Van Lommel has said that NDE research indicates out-of-body experience. Parnia does not dismiss the idea but says it has not been proved.
I want to emphasize that the NDE controversy is a discussion among people with expert knowledge, people who read and assess articles in medical journals.
The effects of blood gases - oxygen and CO2 - is critical in the NDE controversy. It has been demonstrated that I am alone at Y! Answers in taking an interest in this topic.
To each his own.
As for Dr. NG's comment that "oxygen is cool," that depends on the room temperature, or that of the patient.
I will not discuss the question further.

I doubt it because Secular Humanists and other anti Christian groups don't want the masses to believe in God ghosts demons or Jesus - especially Jesus
they are OK with yoga and meditation - both which are to facilitate demons
we are ruled over by evil people

Hi Doctor, are you part of medicine, or surgery in general?
Well, take care of what is the most important on a human level, although in America science is a little more advanced thanks to scientific collaborators of other nations that are in America, therefore, in America are well received, because, in America science is well paid!
That said, let me say a few more things, why are you interested in parapsychology?
Am I wrong, or is it a disbeliever on paranormal phenomena !?
Therefore, an illustrious doctor, you have before a person who, without offense to anyone, has wisdom on paranormal phenomena, and let me say, do not believe the Hoaxes of the alleged science about paranormal phenomena, because he knows nothing, and is vain!
As I have said so many times, the only people who can know about phenomena are the Mediums, the Sensitives, the Spiritists, the magicians, and whoever exercises the Mediumship!
Because such people consult the spirits of demons, and if there is anything supernatural about the people I mentioned to them, it is by virtue of the power of the demons that it is transmitted to them.
Now, in your opinion, how does an esoteric person in the capacity of alleged scientist say that they have contact with demons?
Therefore, the truth will never be revealed by anyone, as they fear the worst of the people who follow them on parapsychology!
Tell me Doctor, I have lived my direct experiences with these entities, even if, in past time and in the present, God has protected me from these entities, and I am grateful to him for his Divine intervention.
Best regards, Robert!

Okay, thank you for your kind attention, but, even if we are in a virtual web, I have no reason to say lies, towards a reality, lived by me!
