Rethinking Extrasensory Perception

Do pathologists have extrasensory perception?

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...

Extrasensory Perception and the Brain Hemispheres: Where Does the Issue Stand Now?

For over a century, evidence has been gathered to indicate that the two cerebral hemispheres of the human brain each tend to have their own behavioral specializations. An issue that has long been of interest to parapsychologists is whether the ostensibly anomalous behavioral phenomenon of “extrasensory perception” (ESP), in which a person seems to obtain veridical information about other people...

A Bayes factor meta-analysis of recent extrasensory perception experiments: comment on Storm, Tressoldi, and Di Risio (2010).

Psi phenomena, such as mental telepathy, precognition, and clairvoyance, have garnered much recent attention. We reassess the evidence for psi effects from Storm, Tressoldi, and Di Risio's (2010) meta-analysis. Our analysis differs from Storm et al.'s in that we rely on Bayes factors, a Bayesian approach for stating the evidence from data for competing theoretical positions. In contrast to more...

Extrasensory electroencephalographic induction between identical twins.

Alpha rhythms have been elicited in one of a pair of identical twins as a result of evoking these rhythms in a conventional manner solely in the other.
