Book excerpt: This volume is Monograph No. 3 in the AIPR Monograph Series in Parapsychology. Psychic phenomena such as extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis ('mind over matter') have been reportedly experienced by people from all walks of life. But are these phenomena real? And how could they possibly fit into our knowledge of the human brain? In this monograph, Bryan Williams examines some of the latest findings to emerge from efforts that parapsychologists have made to explore how psychic phenomena may be linked to brain functioning. Although they do not yet lead to a fully working theory, these initial findings do point to possible brain correlates that could be a focus for further study using advanced brain wave monitoring and functional neuroimaging techniques.
