“Precognition Research” explores the controversial field of precognition, investigating whether humans can predict random future events through rigorous scientific inquiry. It examines laboratory experiments designed to test precognitive abilities, emphasizing methodological rigor and statistical scrutiny. One intriguing area explored is how experimental design can impact results. Statistical analysis plays a crucial role, distinguishing genuine effects from chance, and the book highlights how subtle cognitive biases can influence outcomes. The book delves into specific experimental designs, such as those using random number generators, and the statistical methods employed, including meta-analyses. It provides a comprehensive, objective overview, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions about the evidence for or against future prediction. Ultimately, the text navigates the complexities of this field, aiming to clarify the potential for human precognitive abilities.
