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.
Extra-Sensory Perception (ca. 1934)

5.0 out of 5 stars
The most definitive work from Duke University in telepathy,
By Laura K Harris (http://www.psychiceducation.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Extra Sensory Perception (Paperback)
This book is great for anyone with a strong science background or understanding. It will be a little dry to read for others, but is none the less the best book describing telepathy and precognition research ever done. A must read for anyone interested in teaching, testing, or developing psychic abilities.

The defining work in the field,
By
This review is from: Extra Sensory Perception (Paperback)
In this work, J. B. Rhine explores the various research done (at the time of the initial writing) on extra-sensory perception and concludes that there is such a thing.
The work is important because it is cited by a wide range of others including Dr Carl Jung in "Synchronicity." Most other reasonably respectable research into similar topics has been derivative of Rhines. Anyone interested in this field either to debunk or advocate it should read this work. Highly recommended.

Fascinating Pioneer Work.,
By
This review is from: Extra Sensory Perception (Paperback)
J.B. Rhine was one of the orginal scientific investigators of psychic phenomenon, and just about everyone who has followed has walked in Rhine's footsteps. I found this book fascinating!
