Do pathologists have extrasensory perception?

Do we have independent visual streams for perception and action?

The perception-action model proposes that vision-for-perception and vision-for-action are based on anatomically distinct and functionally independent streams within the visual cortex. This idea can account for diverse experimental findings, and has been hugely influential over the past two decades. The model itself comprises a set of core contrasts between the functional properties of the two v...

Colour perception in pathologists: the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test.

The value of many histological stains depends on the ability of the observer to differentiate colour. This ability was assessed in 30 histopathologists and cytopathologists of varying experience using the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test. As a group, the pathologists performed better than a reference population. Twenty eight subjects showed a wide ranging ability to differentiate colour: none wa...

The Relationships among Performance on a Prototype Indicator of Perceptual Defence/vigilance, Personality, and Extrasensory Perception

Two experiments compare pe~orlnance on a prototype indicator of perceptual defencelvtgilance with performance on other related measures of individual differences. On the basis of theoretical expectations and empirical findings, participants’ performance on the prototype indicator of perceptual defencelvigilance was predicted to relate to the personality factor of Neuroticism, and to performance...

How to have a fever of unknown origin.

Comment The results of this study show that the likelihood of this particular group of pathologists or pathologists in general being capable of divining the sex or star sign of a patient, even with recourse to the perception of light, is no greater than chance. From this it is reasonable to deduce that pathologists do not possess extrasensory perception, at least as far as medical practice is c...
