The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was a U.S. government agency responsible for funding and overseeing advanced technological research. It is now known as DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).1
In the early 1970s, ARPA showed interest in psychic phenomena, sending a three-man team to observe Uri Geller at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in early 1973.1
While ARPA's corporate stance was not to pursue further investigations into Geller, one of its team members, psychologist Robert Van de Castle, was reportedly impressed by Geller's abilities.1
