The Koestler Parapsychology Unit

The Koestler Parapsychology Unit is a research center at the University of Edinburgh dedicated to studying phenomena often called "paranormal", such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and psychokinesis. Its goal is to investigate these claims scientifically, using rigorous methods to determine whether such abilities exist and how they might work. The unit aims to understand these phenomena better, contributing to psychological and scientific knowledge, while maintaining critical evaluation and openness to evidence. Their work helps clarify the boundaries between established science and what remains unexplained, fostering a balanced approach to understanding extraordinary claims.
