  • In this course we explore whether laboratory investigations of psychic phenomena can be considered legitimate science. Through in-class discussion we examine historical examples of how new scientific paradigms have been developed in various disciplines and current examples in the field of parapsychology. We investigate the scientific method from the inside, developing and carrying out new experiments to test the phenomena. The results of several previous class experiments have gone on to be published.
  • See the abstract and video of a course project presented at Society for Scientific Exploration Conference
  • Discussion of student research projects in psi, and the field in general (podcast and transcription
  • See a previous year’s student projects.
