“Psi” is the term used by researchers for a variety of
demonstrable but elusive psychic phenomena. This collection of
essays provides a detailed survey of the evidence for psi at the
level of scientific review. Key features of apparent psi phenomena
are reviewed, including precognition and remote perception
(knowledge of future or distant events that cannot be inferred from
present information), presentiment (physiological responses to
stimuli that have not yet occurred), the effects of human emotions
on globally dispersed machines, the possible impact of local
sidereal time on psi performance, and the familiar feeling of
knowing who is calling on the phone. Special attention is given to
those phenomena that make it difficult for scientists to get a
clear understanding of psi. The body of psi research, while complex
and frustrating, is shown to contain sufficiently compelling
positive evidence to convince the rational open-minded observer
that psi is real, and that one or more physical processes probably
underlie observed psi phenomena.
