  2. Study of Psi: Parapsychology, ‘the controversial science’ • Controversial because of the topic: • Anomalous correlations between minds and/or matter (telepathy, precognition,psychokinesis…. ) • Science because of the method: • Initially Case studies (natural observations) • Empirical (lab) studies • Theory ->hypothesis ->testing ->new theory-> etc.etc. • Role of the experimenter-psi special

  3. Emotion and Psi • Case Studies • Reported cases always are emotional • But: Reporting bias • False memories • Incorrect perception • Empirical research • Manipulation of emotionality of material (Bem, Radin) • Correlation with spontaneous emotional events (Nelson) • Altered states of Consciousness and emotion regulation (Schmidt)

  4. Most controversial • A-causal or retro-causal phenomena • Effects preceding ‘cause’ e.g. emotional events: Bem & Radin • NOT in conflict with physics • The physics of consciousness?
