The Taboo of Parapsychology

Dr. Dean Radin, Chief Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences

14-Nov-13 15:00

The Taboo of Parapsychology

Psychic phenomena, also known as psi or parapsychology, is the study of consciousness with respect to telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, near-death experiences, reincarnation and apparitional experiences. We speak to Dr. Dean Radin from the Institute of Noetic Sciences about the science of parapsychology and the sceptism that surrounds it. Dr. Radin is a four time former president of the Parapsychological Association, and for 15 years he has conducted experimental studies of psychic phenomena in appointments at Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, University of Nevada, and SRI International, including a classified programme investigating clairvoyance for the U.S. government.

Dr. Dean Radin will be in Malaysia from 3-4 December 2013 to speak at the Leadership International Summit Asia by The Iclif Leadership and Governance Centre. For more info, log in to iclif.org/LESA.
