Making Sense of PSI

Psychical research will not attain scientific respectability until it has some agreed theoretical basis. But the subject impinges on many disciplines, so various levels of explanation have been proposed – physical, biological, psychological, philosophical and mystical. A full theory of psi must surely involve all of these. In this Study Day leading representatives of each of these fields, all sharing an interest in an interdisciplinary approach to the subject, addressed these issues and discussed whether such an all-embracing theory of psi is conceivable....

Sessions included Theories of psi from physics and beyond, A philosophical framework for theories of psi, Perspectives from mysticism, Observership, biology, meaning and psi, Many worlds and the ontology of psi. Among the speakers was Nobel Laureate Prof. Brian Josephson. The ended with a general discussion, including audience participation.

A short report on the day appears on Roy Stemman's Paranormal Review
