RESUMO
The study of mediumship and the phenomenon of Anomalous Information Reception (AIR) has the potential to produce new evidence about the mind and its relationship with the brain. This study investigated the occurrence of AIR in an allegedly mediumistic procedure. To control leakage of information, the medium was filmed and remained under supervision throughout all procedures. The hit rate of the items of information generated was analyzed as well as signs of fraud (such as cold reading, deduction and the use of generalization) and the information disclosed to the medium. The medium produced 57 items of information, of which six were not recognized, four had been disclosed, six could have been deduced, 11 may be regarded as generic and 30 were correct, were not disclosed or were very unlikely to have been deduced, obtained by cold reading or considered generic. The result is highly indicative of the occurrence of AIR.
