Explore (New York, N.Y.) · Descriptive research synthesis
A synthesis maps brain-imaging and electrophysiology reports associated with ESP tasks. It retains weak and null findings and describes a varied literature rather than a single neural signature.
Method and scope
The review assembled 92 reports or studies across telepathy, hidden-target perception, remote viewing and related tasks. Designs and neural measures were summarised descriptively.
What to keep in mind
The studies were too dissimilar for a formal meta-analysis. Reported brain activity alone does not demonstrate anomalous information transfer; speculative interpretations remain separate.
