The [Sylvania Corporation](/organizations/sylvania-corporation/) was an American manufacturer of lighting products, televisions, and other electronic equipment. In the context of the *Remote Viewers* narrative, [Russell Targ](/people/russell-targ/) worked at the research laboratories of Sylvania Corporation before joining [Hal Puthoff](/people/hal-puthoff/) at [SRI](/organizations/stanford-research-institute/) to lead the remote viewing research program. This background in electronics and technology contributed to his approach to studying psi phenomena.[^1]
