Courtney brown was taught remote viewing by Ed Dames. He then developed his own RV methodology based on this teaching called 'SRV' Scientific remote Viewing.

Courtney Brown, Ph.D., founded The Farsight Institute in 1995. When the Institute began teaching Scientific Remote Viewing in March of 1996, Dr. Brown was the only course facilitator. Later, as new facilitators and advanced remote viewers finished their training, Dr. Brown spent more time assisting in the research and development of new remote viewing protocols while continuing his administrative responsibilities of farsight.

Courtney Brown has written five books, two of which are on the subject of remote viewing. His book, Cosmic Voyage: A Scientific Discovery of Extraterrestrials Visiting Earth, describes his first investigation using remote viewing as a data gathering technique. His second book on the subject of remote viewing, Cosmic Explorers: Scientific Remote Viewing, Extraterrestrials, and a Message for Mankind (Dutton), continues much of the substantive content of Cosmic Voyage, but it also contains an entire text explaining the mechanics of Scientific Remote Viewing.

Infamous for the Hale-Bopp RV sessions, which detailed aliens within/ following the Hale Bopp Comet etc, etc.

Cult may have based suicide on Brown's UFO theories

"A statement from the University reinforced its dissociation from Brown's theories on UFOs and remote viewing. "Courtney Brown's comments about the Hale-Bopp comet are evidently based on his work at the Farsight Institute, which has no relationship with an d receives no support from Emory University. He has assured us that he has kept his activities at the Institute completely separate from his teaching at Emory." ¶ The University's statement also placed Emory in direct opposition to Brown's work with Farsight, saying, "The University completely disagrees with the content of Courtney Brown's non-Emory activities." ¶ University President William M. Chace, however, said he did not believe Brown bears any responsibility for the California suicides."

My True Confessions: An objective eye turned toward the past - Article critical of Brown's Remote Viewing techniques, by a former associate. - By Prudence Calabrese - Published: 2/9/98

"Several months ago, I restructured the Farsight® web site, and placed a prominent disclaimer at the top of each of the session pages, stating that the sessions were not done under proper controls, and that the data therein was suspect.... I was told by Dr. Brown to replace that disclaimer with one that merely stated that we were retargeting things using more refined methods, but that we had not viewed anything contradictory to what we had presented. I felt, from a scientific standpoint, given the types of controls and checks that are standard procedure in both experimental and observational sciences, that this was misleading the public. I stated so, but as an employee, I had to follow the order.
