telepathy, direct transference of thought from one person (sender or agent) to
another (receiver or percipient) without using the usual sensory channels of
communication, hence a form of extrasensory perception (ESP). While the
existence of telepathy has not yet been proved, some parapsychological research
studies have produced favourable results using such techniques as card guessing
with a special deck of five sets of five cards. The agent may simply think of a
random order of the five card symbols while the percipient tries to think of the
order on which the agent is concentrating. In a general ESP test the sender
concentrates on the face of one card at a time while the receiver tries to think
of the symbol. Both subjects are, of course, separated by a screen or some
greater obstacle or distance. Scores significantly above chance are extremely
rare, particularly as testing methods have become more rigorous.

J.B. Rhine, in full Joseph Banks Rhine, (born September 29, 1895, Waterloo,
Pennsylvania, U.S.—died February 20, 1980, Hillsborough, North Carolina),
American parapsychologist who was credited with coining the term extrasensory
perception (ESP) in the course of researching such phenomena as mental
telepathy, precognition, and clairvoyance.



Rhine initially studied to be a botanist but became fascinated with "psychic
occurrences." In 1930, with psychologist William McDougall, he helped to
establish the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University, Durham, North
Carolina. There Rhine held some 90,000 experiments, using a wide variety of
human subjects. In 1934 his book Extra-Sensory Perception created a sensation
with the general public but was greeted with skepticism by the scientific
community. His New Frontiers of the Mind (1937) further explained his
experiments. Rhine left Duke in 1965 and formed his own research centre, the
Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man. That same year Rhine and McDougall
cofounded the Journal of Parapsychology.
