Can humans sense underground water, dream the future, attract metal objects to their bodies, as some believe…? What does science have to say about such claims of extraordinary abilities?
This month, PubSci is delighted to welcome the wonderful Professor Chris French.
His day job is exploring psychological explanations for the experiences that people report as paranormal , and Chris is the absolute expert in his field. He’s written books on cognitive and anomalistic psychology, edited collections of articles, appeared on TV and radio, written dozens of articles for the Guardian newspaper and appeared as an expert witness in court.
This Wednesday he’ll not just be talking about that, he’ll explain how claims of paranormal ability, from dowsing to clairvoyance, are tested… and what happened when Chris and his team at Goldsmiths, University of London, tested them under controlled conditions.
Were they sincerely deluded, were they charlatans, or were some able to demonstrate their incredible abilities? Come to this month’s PubSci and find out!
