Telepathy, from the , Retrieved December 19 , 2006 The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Fredric W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society For Psychical Research , specifically to replace the earlier expression ''thought-transference''. A person who is able to make use of telepathy is said to be able to read the minds of others. Telepathy, along with Telekinesis forms the main branches of Psi research. TELEPATHY IN PARAPSYCHOLOGY See Also: Scientific investigation of telepathy Within the field of , Retrieved December 19 , 2006 Various experiments have been used to test for telepathic abilities. Among the most well known are the use of Zener Card s and the Ganzfeld Experiment . s''']]Zener cards are cards marked with five distinctive symbols. When using them, one individual is designated the "sender" and another the "receiver". The sender must select a random card and visualize the symbol on it, while the receiver must attempt to determine that symbol using Psi. Statistically, the receiver has a 20% chance of randomly guessing the correct symbol, so in order to demonstrate telepathy, they must repeatedly score a success rate that is significantly higher than 20%.2 If not conducted properly, this method can be vulnerable to Sensory Leakage and Card Counting . When using the Ganzfeld experiment to test for telepathy, one individual is designated the receiver and is placed inside a controlled environment where they are Deprived Of Sensory Input , and another is designated the sender and is placed in a separate location. The receiver is then required to receive information from the sender. The exact nature of the information may vary between experiments. ''The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena'' by Dean I. Radin Harper Edge, ISBN 0-06-251502-0 Types of telepathy Parapsychology describes several different forms of telepathy, including latent telepathy and precognitive telepathy. Latent Telepathy, formerly known as "deferred telepathy", Rennie, John (1845), "Test for Telepathy", Scientific American ,V3#1 (1847-09-25) is described as being the transfer of information, through Psi, with an observable time-lag between transmission and receipt. Precognitive Telepathy is described as being the transfer of information, through Psi, about the future state of an individual's mind. TECHNOLOGICALLY ENABLED TELEPATHY |
