"We know from our studies with mice and rats, you get 100% improvement in memory in mice and rats that are either aged or normal. A normal mouse will get 100% improvement in memory exactly at the same time they'll get an almost 100% reduction in anxiety."
Radin's biotech company Cognigenics has developed an intranasal RNA interference treatment targeting the 5-HT2A receptor that showed dramatic results in preclinical trials. The treatment improved memory by 100% and nearly eliminated anxiety in both normal and aged mice and rats, with effects lasting 2-3 months. The company is now conducting primate trials before seeking FDA approval for human dementia treatment, with plans to explore cognitive enhancement applications.

About this episode

On this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, host Joe Rogan interviewed Dean Radin, a scientist who has spent decades researching consciousness and psychic phenomena at institutions including Bell Labs, Princeton, and the classified Stargate remote viewing program. Radin revealed previously undisclosed details about his work on Stargate at SRI International under Hal Puthoff, describing the extreme secrecy levels including top secret SCI special access clearances where even the code word was classified. He recounted operational successes including a remote viewer locating a crashed nuclear bomber in Africa that President Carter later publicly confirmed. The conversation covered Radin's groundbreaking genetic research on psychic ability, revealing that people with psychic talents are genetically 'wild type' while non-psychics have mutations in intron sequences that suppress these abilities. His team discovered these suppressing mutations are more prevalent in countries with longer Christian exposure, suggesting the Inquisition systematically eliminated psychic individuals, leaving a visible genetic signature. Radin also discussed his biotech company Cognigenics, which is developing an intranasal RNA treatment that showed 100% memory improvement and near-total anxiety reduction in animal studies, now advancing to primate trials for eventual human dementia treatment with potential cognitive enhancement applications. The episode explored philosophical questions about consciousness, materialism versus idealism, and whether reality is fundamentally mental or physical. Radin shared personal experiences including successfully bending a spoon and an extraordinary four-part synchronicity where he manifested meeting another psi researcher whose lab contained the exact equipment Radin had been drawing on a whiteboard. Throughout, Radin emphasized that while psychic phenomena produce small statistical effects in controlled laboratory settings, real-world applications and historical accounts suggest far greater capabilities exist that science has yet to fully understand or replicate.
