	Philosophical Critiques: Extranormal Mental States
		In the first instance there is an extrasensory perception of an external or "objective" event (clairvoyance), and in the second instance an extrasensory perception of a mental or "subjective" event (telepathy).
		Extrasensory perception is such an extraordinary phenomenon that scientists, who as a matter of principle refuse to accept anything as a fact which cannot be verified by the senses in some form or other, derided its possibility.
		That clairvoyance and telepathy are extrasensory in the meaning defined, is borne out by a comparison of this type of perception with that experienced through the channels of the ordinary senses.

	Extrasensory perception - The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Extra-sensory perception, or ESP, is the name given to any ability to acquire information by means other than the five canonical senses (taste, sight, touch, smell, and hearing), or any other sense well-known to science (balance, proprioception, etc).
		The notion of extra-sensory perception is a very old one, and in many ancient cultures it was taken for granted that certain people had such powers of perception, be it second sight, or the power to communicate with deities, ancestors, or spirits.
		Among the difficulties having to do with proving the existence or non-existence of extra-sensory perception are that, if ESP exists, it may have a subtle rather than an overt effect, and that the ability to perceive may be altered by the nature of the event being perceived.

		One meaning of sensory perception is perception based on stimulation of receptors.Another menaing is perception based on the having sensations.
		Extrasensory perception, therefore, can mean perception without the pickup of stimulus information or it can mean perception without any awareness of stimulation.
		The theory of sensation-based perception assumes that stimulation and sensation are the same thing and that both are necessary for perception.

		ESP (extrasensory perception) is above and beyond our normal senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
		The existence of ESP (extrasensory perception) and other paranormal powers such as telekinesis, are disputed, though systematic experimental research on these subjects, known collectively as psi, has been ongoing for over a century in parapsychology.

		Extrasensory perception (commonly abbreviated ESP) was a term used by 23rd century psychiatrists to describe the ability of Humans to perform activities that require use of sensing capabilities beyond the five basic senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
		In 2265 Starfleet believed that the ESP capacity in Humans was always quite limited, although it had been proven that some Humans could sometimes sense future happenings, read the backs of playing cards, see through solid objects, and cause fires to start spontaneously.
		At that time Starfleet also had standardized tests to measure the aperception quotient (or "esper rating") of Humans to determine the degree of extrasensory perception present in an individual.

	What is Extrasensory Perception? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		There are a great many writings on both sides of the question of whether extrasensory perception exists.
		Recent discoveries in quantum physics (the study of the physics of sub-atomic particles) and in cosmology (the branch of astronomy that deals with the universe taken as a whole) shed much light on how mind interacts with the universe.
		What is needed is an understandable source that explains those relevant concepts of quantum physics and cosmology which reveal the exact process by which extrasensory perception works.

	Blog #7 02/02/06 Extrasensory Perception
		“ESP” (Extrasensory Perception) is described as a way of communicating with or of being aware of things, people, and events without the use of the common known senses.

		Myers realized that a large number of the reported cases of ESP occurred while percipient were experiencing an altered state of consciousness.

	Astop: "Fact Sheet Extrasensory Perception"
		First, it is the essentially unanimous opinion of psychologists that the existence of ESP has not been shown in any experiment conducted to date.
		It is also important to realize that the existence of an ESP ability in humans or other animals would not be consistent with anything we know about nature, either from the standpoint of physics or from the standpoint of physiology.
		Any amateur magician who is knowledgeable, or any gambler who is effective, can score high in such games using nothing but subtly disguised sensory perception.

	Extrasensory Perception (ESP), Science, The Roots of Consciousness
		Although many of you reading this book, like myself, have few personal doubts that something like extrasensory perception is real, the effort to establish ESP as a scientific fact has been a continuous struggle the outcome of which still remains uncertain.
		The areas of criticism Rhine and Pratt focused on in 1940 included: hypotheses related to improper statistical analysis of the results; hypotheses related to biased selection of experiments reported; hypotheses dealing with errors in the experimental records; hypotheses involving sensory leakage; hypotheses charging experimenter incompetence; and finally hypotheses of a general speculative character.
		ESP is generally divided into telepathy, i.e., extrasensory communication between two minds; clairvoyance, i.e., extrasensory perception at a distance, without the mediation of another mind; and precognition, which is ESP across time into the future.

	ESP (Extrasensory Perception)
		Such perceptions, collectively called PSI phenomena, are grouped in four main categories: telepathy, or mind-to-mind communication; clairvoyance, or the awareness of remote objects, persons, or events; precognition, or the knowledge of events lying in the future; and retrocognition, or the knowledge of past events in the absence of access to information about those events.
		Scientific theory does not recognize modes of perception other than those mediated by the sense organs and other body systems, so ESP by definition lies outside the realm of scientific explanation.
		Claims for the occurrence of ESP therefore remain controversial, although the converse condition also holds, that the existence of ESP cannot positively be disproved.

		With the cautious success that the group has achieved and its urge to grow, it is curious to judge the overall effect it will have on a small and traditional area like the Triangle.
