Abstract
Does telepathy – a purported means of communication unmediated by the ordinary senses – exist? Experimental evidence, meta-analyses and debates suggesting an affirmative answer can be found in a growing number of mainstream journals, and a physical basis for telepathy appears to be increasingly plausible based upon considerations of quantum holism and advancements in quantum information processing. Future neuroscience models of conscious and unconscious perception may be obliged to take into account a common human experience once dismissed as mere superstition.
