The Science of Extrasensory Perception: A Meta-Analysis of Parapsychological Research

Abstract

This meta-analysis reviews the scientific evidence for extrasensory perception (ESP) across various parapsychological studies. By aggregating data from multiple experiments on telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition, the study evaluates the statistical significance of reported effects. The findings suggest that while some studies show positive results, methodological issues and replication failures challenge the scientific acceptance of ESP. The paper calls for more rigorous research designs and interdisciplinary collaboration.
