The ganzfeld ("total field") experiment uses audio and visual sensory deprivation to test for extra-sensory perception (ESP). There are claims that this experiment yields results that deviate significantly from randomness, and represent some of the strongest experimental evidence for psi phenomena to date. As with all purported psi phenomena, these claims are highly controversial within science in general and even within parapsychology. The debate is well-documented in parapsychology journals and in articles such as thos ...

Ganzfeld:

A technique for investigating ESP in which the person experiences an absence of patterned stimulation. This generally involves the subject wearing halved table-tennis balls over the eyes while listening to hiss (white noise) through headphones.

"Ganzfeld" or "total (sensory) field" experiments aim to reduce such cognitive or environmental noise through a mild form of sensory deprivation. This is done by covering the subject's eyes with a translucent mask of ping-pong ball halves, placing headphones over the subject's ears and playing a mild white noise through them, and having the subject relax on a couch or waterbed. Sometimes additional relaxation exercises are incorporated. Once the subject has been immersed in the ganzfeld for some minutes, then the subject, acting as "r ...

This article is about a method of interrogation. For therapeutic uses, see Isolation tank Sensory deprivation is the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses. Simple devices such as blindfolds and earmuffs can cut off sight and hearing, while more complex devices can also cut off the sense of smell, touch, taste, thermoception (heat-sense), and 'gravity'. Sensory deprivation has been used in various alternative medicines and in psychological experiments ...

Daryl J. Bem is a noted social psychologist at Cornell University, USA, and the originator of the self-perception theory of attitude change. Bem received a BA from Reed College in physics in 1960. He later dropped out of graduate study in physics at MIT to pursue social psychology, for which he earned a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1964. He has also carried out research on Psi phenomena (a technical term for "ESP"), group decision making, handwriting analysis, sexual ori ...

Telepathy, from the Greek τηλε, tele, "distant", and πάθεια, patheia, "feeling", is the claimed innate ability of humans and other creatures to communicate information from one mind to another, without the use of extra tools such as speech or body language. Considered a form of extra-sensory perception or anomalous cognition, telepathy is often connected to various paranormal phenomena ...

Claims have been made that over many such trials conducted in many labs around the world, the average hit rate has been closer to 35% rather than the 25% expected by null hypothesis. Such a result would be highly significant statistically. In 1982, Charles Honorton presented a meta-analysis of the studies to date at a meeting of the Parapsychological Association, concluding that this was sufficient to establish the existence of psi phenomena. Prominent critic and skeptic Ray Hyman disagreed. This led to separate meta-analyses by each ...

The ganzfeld experiments are among the most recent in parapsychology for testing the existence of and affecting factors of telepathy, the ability to communicate information from one person's mind to that of another without resorting to normal means. After the initial success of the forced-choice card-guessing telepathy experiments of J. B. Rhine and his associates, researchers noted a "decline effect" where the accuracy of card guessing would decrease over time for a given subject, which some parapsychologists attributed to boredom. S ...

In 1978 in the European Court of Human Rights trial "Ireland v. the United Kingdom" the facts were not in dispute and the court published the following in their judgement: These methods, sometimes termed "disorientation" or "sensory deprivation" techniques, were not used in any cases other than the fourteen so indicated above. It emerges from the Commission's establishment of the facts that the techniques consisted of: (a) wall-standing: forcing the detainees to remain for periods of some hours in a ...

Ganzfeld experiments have received widespread attention in recent times, and some believe they provide strong experimental evidence. Other experiments have been conducted by controversial biologist Rupert Sheldrake, who claims strong results. These include experiments into: The 'sense of being stared at', in which the subject guesses whether or not he/she is being stared at by another person Whether a subject can tell who is phoning them before picking up the receiver Whether dogs can tell wh ...

Very few anecdotal accounts of telepathy have been noted in many ancient cultures since historical records have been kept. In the Bible, some prophets appear to have the ability to see into the future (precognition). This seems to be a common claim from ancient and primitive people. But the sending and receiving of messages from individual to individual by mind alone is never mentioned at all. As with all psi phenomena, there is wide disagreement and controversy within the sciences, even within ...

Telepathy proponents point generally to controversially scientific concepts such as psychology and quantum mechanics, as areas of research that are considered to be deeply based in the scientific method, but have equally problematic and unexplainable links to the exclusively physical description of reality.

In seeking and proposing a scientific explanation, some telepathy proponents have claimed there to be connections between scientific quantum theory as a basis for telepath ...
