Tests & Results
This subcategory of Experimental Parapsychology includes articles describing different kinds of experimental tests and the findings that have resulted from them.

Creative Participants in the Ganzfeld
Successful ESP experiments with dance, drama and music students of New York’s Juilliard School.
Creery Telepathy Experiments

Decline Effect in Psi Research
Review of the 'decline effect’ in psi testing, a falling off in participants' performance over time.

Experimental Parapsychology
Overview of efforts to apply experimental methods to the study of psi experiences, from the 1870s to today.
Experimenter Effects in Psi Research
Parapsychologists have come to believe that experimenters play a major role in influencing the outcome of psi tests.

Maimonides Dream Telepathy Research
This article describes ESP dreaming experiments carried out in a New York sleep laboratory.
Meta-Analysis in Parapsychology
Meta-analysis is a statistical procedure that combines studies in a particular area of research to provide more robust findings
Metal-Bending Research
Survey of research into claims that cutlery and other metal objects can potentially be bent by mind force alone.
N’kisi (pet telepathy)
Successful telepathy experiment carried out with an African Grey parrot which had been taught to speak several words.

An unconscious form of precognition that can be demonstrated with techniques commonly used in research on psychophysiology.
Psychokinesis Research (Overview)
Research on PK has progressed from early tests with dice to random number generators, field studies, and quantum experiments.
Psychometry
Clairvoyance facilitated by holding an object, which enables a psychic to describe key incidents associated with it.
Remote Viewing
An experimental form of clairvoyance, in which a suitably trained person attempts to visualise the topography of a distant scene.
Sheep-Goat Effect
In experimental tests, participants who believe in psi (sheep) score positively while those who do not believe (goats) score at chance.
