Extra Sensory Perception - Hardcover

by J. B. Rhine (Author), William McDougall (Author)

Extra Sensory Perception is a book written by J.B. Rhine that explores the concept of psychic abilities and the possibility of extrasensory perception (ESP). Rhine, a renowned parapsychologist, presents evidence and research that suggests the existence of psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis. He delves into the history of ESP, its potential physiological and psychological mechanisms, and the scientific methods used to study it. The book also includes case studies and experiments conducted by Rhine and his colleagues at Duke University's Parapsychology Laboratory. Extra Sensory Perception is a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the paranormal that remains relevant and influential in the field of parapsychology.1934. The work reported in this volume is the first fruit of the policy of naturalization of psychical research within the universities. This momentous study has three dimensions. Firstly, there are about three years during which experiments were conducted until they reached a huge number. Secondly, the cooperation, observation and critical judgment of many, both within and without the teaching staff of the psychological department of Duke University, have been applied to the experiments at various stages. Finally, the diversity of methods used, isolation of telepathy and clairvoyance from one another, and acquisition of data to test the hypotheses were noted.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
