The Sony corporation actually ran a research lab on psychic phenomenon between 1990 and 1998, focusing mainly on remote viewing and Qi energy.
The lab was closed when the lead scientist on the project died.

This lab was kept quiet because they didn't want the the stigma normally associated with this type of research to tarnish the company's public image. However, upon the lab's closure, they did announce that psychic phenomena are real, but unfortunately they couldn't find a way to use it commercially so they were discontinuing the research.

Which is really too bad, psychic television would have kicked major ass.
