PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Ganzfeld experiment

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 ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Psionics

Psionics is a term used to describe the practice of using a variety of 'psychic abilities'. Theories on how these abilities work vary greatly, but one of the more common ones involves the manipulation of an unknown energy type known as psi energy. However, it really depends on the community or school of thought. Some would consider the manipulation of any energy type psionics. Some do not even rec ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Daryl Bem

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.

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Parapsychology

Parapsychology is the study of the evidence of mental awareness or influence of external objects without interaction from known physical means. Most objects of study fall within the realm of "mind-to-mind" influence (such as extra-sensory perception and telepathy), "mind-to-environment" influence (such as psychokinesis) and "environment-to-mind" (such as hauntings). The premiere professional organization, the Parapsychological Association (PA), is a member in good standing of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Psychokinesis

Psychokinesis (literally "mind-movement") or PK is the more commonly used term today for what in the past was known as telekinesis (literally "distant-movement"). It refers to the psi ability to influence the behavior of matter by mental intention (or possibly some other aspect of mental activity) alone. As of 2004 the term remote influencing is becoming widely used for certain kinds of psychokinesis. Psychokinesis - Psychokinetic events. There have been anecdotal reports of such appare ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Pyrokinesis

Pyrokinesis is the postulated or fictional psi ability to excite the atoms within an object, possibly creating enough energy to ignite the object. Pyrokinesis would be a minor form of psychokinesis, similar to poltergeist activity. Stephen King's story Firestarter prominently features use of pyrokinesis. In fantastic science fiction and superhero comic books, a pyrokinetic is a person capable of generating flames from thin air, not requiring the consumption of oxygen or combustible objects to maintain the flames. Pyrokin ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance is defined as a form of extra-sensory perception whereby a person perceives distant objects, persons, or events, including "seeing" through opaque objects and the detection of types of energy not normally perceptible to humans (i.e. radio waves). Typically, such perception is reported in visual terms, but may also include auditory impressions (sometimes called clairaudience) or kinesthetic impressions. The term clairvoyance is often used broadly to refer to all forms of ESP where a person receives informatio ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Telepathy

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 ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Remote viewing

Remote viewing (RV) is a procedure developed by parapsychologists at the Stanford Research Institute to perform clairvoyance under controlled conditions. Somewhat similar to astral projection, the phenomenon involves a belief in the projection of consciousness to remote locations, and is considered a pseudoscience by mainstream scientists.

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Precognition

Precognition is a form of extra-sensory perception which allows a "percipient" to perceive information about future places or events before they happen (as opposed to merely predicting them based on deductive reasoning and current knowledge). A related term, presentiment is used to refer to information about future events which may not present itself in conscious form but rather in the form of emotions or feelings at the autonomic level. These terms are considered by some to be s ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Dowsing

Dowsing is a controversial practice which proponents claim empowers them to find water, metals, gem stones, and hidden objects by carrying or waving a stick or other apparatus over a piece of land and watching for any movement. Repeated tests under controlled conditions have not supported this claim. Dowsers (sometimes known as diviners) may also use a forked branch of a tree, bent pieces of metal or plastic wire, or a small pendulum. Some people use no pointing device at all. Dowsing - Claims made. Most do ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Basics of quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics is a physical science dealing with the behaviour of matter and electromagnetic waves on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. Since all matter is made of atoms, quantum mechanics is also important in understanding how large objects such as stars and galaxies and even the Big Bang can be analyzed and explained. Quantum mechanical departures from classical physics are most often encountered at small length scales, very low or very high energies, or extremely low temperatures. Quantum mechanics is the basis of mod ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - Apollo moon landing hoax accusations

Proponents of the Apollo moon landing hoax accusations allege that the Apollo Moon Landings never took place, and were faked by NASA with possible CIA support. According to a 1999 Gallup poll, about 6 percent of the population of the U.S. has doubts that the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon. "Although, if taken literally, 6 percent translates into millions of individuals," Gallup said of this, "it is not unusual to find about that many people in the typical poll agreeing with almost any question that is asked of them -- so the best inter ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia - New Age

The term New Age describes a broad movement of late twentieth century and contemporary Western culture, characterised by an individual eclectic approach to spiritual exploration. Collectively, New Age has some attributes of an emergent religion, but is currently a loose network of spiritual teachers, healers, and seekers. The movement is most visible where its ideas are traded—for example in specialist bookshops, music stores, and New Age fairs. The name "New Age" also refers to the market segment in which its goods and servi ...

PSI Phenomena: Encyclopedia II - Parapsychology - Other objections to parapsychology

There are a variety of other objections to parapsychology as well. Psi Phenomena as a Violation of the Laws of Physics or Nature Some critics claim that the existence of psi phenomena would violate "the known laws of physics", and some of these critics believe that this is reason enough that such phenomena should not be studied. Parapsychologists respond that "laws of nature" are simply summaries of existing scientific knowledge and do get revised from time to time during the course of scientific progress, in ...
