This 4-week online course explores the history and evolution of parapsychology as a scientific discipline. Beginning with early psychical research and J.B. and Louisa Rhine’s pioneering studies, we will trace the development of experimental methods and major discoveries in areas such as telepathy, remote viewing, and psychokinesis. The course also examines the field’s integration into mainstream science, including the Parapsychological Association’s affiliation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), as well as ongoing debates and controversies. Finally, we will explore recent trends in implicit psi research and its potential applications in various fields.
