Excerpt from Experiments in Psychical Research: At Leland Stanford Junior University Science is human experience tested and set in order. It involves not alone the experience of the individual, but so far as may be, the accumulated or recorded experience of the race, of which the experience of the individual furnishes the basis of understanding. To enter the category of science, the data on which generalized results are based must be fully tested in order to eliminate personal equations whatever their form or origin. In the investigation of the varied phenomena embraced under the term of "Psychical Research," as in any other department of knowledge, the Scientific Method is the sole instrument on which we can depend. To every apparent fact we must apply the tests of science: observation, experiment, logic, and instruments of precision. That the phenomena in this field are peculiarly baffling affords no ground for discouragement. By the methods of precision they arc reducible to scientific order, and we may be sure that in this field as in any other we can safely follow wherever Truth shall lead. Genuine knowledge can never run counter to sound principles in human life. But in this difficult borderland of psychology in which subjective and objective mental conditions are closely intertangled, the investigator finds it well to be cautious. Obvious explanations arc seldom the true ones, and generalizations hastily drawn from them may check the growth of knowledge. In this field, perhaps above all others, the use of the "method of intuition" as an instrument of precision is sadly out of place. One supreme test of safety in generalization is the articulation of supposed facts with the knowledge already tested and organized by science. The work in Psychical Research at Stanford University has rested from the first on "the solid ground of nature." At the present stage, its methods seem more important than its results, although the latter, while not sensational, are unquestionably substantial.

An in-depth history of psychical research and spiritualism, accompanied by period illustrations. Is spiritualism a religion or a racket? How does it differ from psychical research? What went on in the world of séances, mediums, and the scientists who investigated them in the early decades of the twentieth century? This fascinating account, first published in the 1930s, brings to life an era when spiritualists gripped the public imagination and researchers fought to determine what was and wasn't real. Fifty Years of Psychical Research is part of The Paranormal, a series that resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... we have found that the empirical central measures derived under all these varying conditions, do not deviate from the theoretical central measures farther than theory prescribes. Both theoretical probability and the formulae derived therefrom which are applicable to central measures have received confirmation. The Infinitesimal Probabil1ty. When considering the application of mental habit to experiments on thought-transference we noticed the unsatisfactory nature of the conditions of experiment which permitted the unreckoned influence of common associations, resulting from "psychical communism," 103 and observed that the infinitesimally probable upon which reliance is placed may in reality be highly probable. Again, when considering Venn's statement that any given highly improbable event (e. g., the production of Milton's "Paradise Lost," by recording the letters drawn at random from a bag) must certainly occur if the trials are only kept up long enough, and his counter-assertion, to the claim that any given empirical event may be one of the occurrences which theory prescribes, "it is inconceivably unlikely that it should be one," we reserved for separate consideration the "infinitesimal probability." 184 It is now time to see what we can make of it. We have found that the distribution of frequency values derived from empirical chance events agrees, within the limits prescribed by the law, with the law of chances, and that when the empirical value under consideration is the occurrence of a least probable or a highly improbable event, or is a central measure, the empirical value falls within the prescribed limits in the theoretical distribution, also in accordance with the law of chances. If the...

By now, parapsychology should have become an accepted scientific field of research. However, there is great resistance to parapsychological research despite the strength of evidence in favor of conducting it. This collection of essays focuses on the future of the psychical research field. One essay speculates about a kind of future when psychic phenomena are studied in every university. Another identifies 10 areas of potential difficulty facing parapsychology. Other essays indicate areas where conclusions may need re-examination and refinement and presents possibilities for innovative approaches to future study. Some of the areas of study covered include altered states of consciousness, ESP, Meta-Analysis, the theory of psychopraxia, and sociological and phenomenological issues.

Scholars from around the world collaborate to explain the history of parapsychology, the study of extrasensory perception (ESP), and the arguments of skeptics and supporters in this fascinating collection. This two-volume set introduces ESP—also known as anomalous cognition—and psychokinesis, addressing the history, research, philosophy, and scientific theories surrounding the phenomena. With contributions from leading research scientists from within the field of parapsychology and other areas of study, this reference addresses the fundamental questions that the evidence of ESP evokes; examines parapsychology research from all over the world; and explores the controversies, skepticism, and contemporary criticism disparaging the field. Written for a multidisciplinary audience ranging from physicists to psychologists to lay persons, the volumes present the scientific validity of the field. Volume 1 addresses the historical, philosophical, skeptical, and research viewpoints; volume 2 lays out the current theories on ESP. Chapters reveal how strict scientific protocols and state-of-the-art technologies enable scientists—at sites such as Harvard and Cornell universities to their international counterparts in Amsterdam, Austria, and Asia—to pinpoint and investigate ESP abilities. Appendices include a glossary of key terms in parapsychology, ESP research protocol, ESP research organizations, skeptic associations, and recommended reading.
