During the 1930s a new approach to exploring human consciousness
began at Duke University with Professor J. B. Rhine's experimental
research on extra-sensory perception, or ESP. His findings on
telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition and psychokinesis challenged
conventional disbelief. Rhine's findings and his first popular
book, New Frontiers of the Mind, ignited excitement and
controversy-among not only scientists but the public at large.
Rhine's letters chronicle his efforts to find reliable evidence of
psychic ability, from the seance room to psychic animals and
finally to a university research laboratory. Covering the years
1923-1939, they reveal a gripping story of groundbreaking research,
told in the words of the main player as he worked with his team,
subjects, critics and supporters alike.
This is the ground breaking, scientific work by Dr. J.B. Rhine
Ph.D. from Duke University. Dr. Rhine's experiments involving
telepathy clairvoyance and precognition used specially designed
cards, called Zener cards. Using exact calculations, it is possible
to determine how "improbable" it would be to guess an excess number
of cards correctly. Within 10 years, 33 experiments had been
performed, involving almost one million trials, with protocols
which rigorously excluded possible sensory clues Twenty seven of
the 33 studies produced statistically significant results; an
exceptional record Furthermore, positive results were not
restricted to Rhine's lab. In the years following Rhine's first
publication, 33 independent replication experiments were conducted
at different laboratories. Twenty of these were statistically
significant.

Master magician Harry Houdini and English ghost researcher Harry
Price were true pioneers in both establishing skepticism and
scientific methods in the newly created field of paranormal
research. They set the foundation for future 20th Century
researchers such as J.B. Rhine. Joseph Banks Rhine was a botanist
who later developed an interest in parapsychology and psychology.
Rhine founded the parapsychology lab at Duke University, the
Journal of Parapsychology, and the Foundation for Research on the
Nature of Man. He also initiated the Parapsychological Association.
Rhine also coined the term ESP. I think the reader will find that
1957's Parapsychology: Frontier Science of the Mind is as relevent
today as it was when it first written.
1934. The work reported in this volume is the first fruit of the
policy of naturalization of psychical research within the
universities. This momentous study has three dimensions. Firstly,
there are about three years during which experiments were conducted
until they reached a huge number. Secondly, the cooperation,
observation and critical judgment of many, both within and without
the teaching staff of the psychological department of Duke
University, have been applied to the experiments at various stages.
Finally, the diversity of methods used, isolation of telepathy and
clairvoyance from one another, and acquisition of data to test the
hypotheses were noted.
