Also worth noting that this can't explain a lot of the parapsychology findings even if true: these pulses don't go back in time like eg Bem's findings, there's no obvious way that they would modulate a radioactive number generator's choices of binary bits (the most credible experimental setup), and they can't physically go far which eliminates all experiments in which subjects are separated by more than a few hundred feet.
(That is: even if parapsychology was 'right' in the sense that something like these electromagnetic waves did occasionally affect cognition and could be used to transmit information in limited circumstances, it was still wrong overall, falling for all sorts of things like Geller's spoon bending, successfully managed to produce many false positives despite the most stringent measures, and can be considered a control group for the scientific method.)
