Science, Pseudoscience and Psychic Phenomena
We often hear people described as psychic, whether it's serious or a joking reference to some sort of uncanny knowledge. But what is the scientific view of psychics? Is there any scientific basis for psychic tests and extrasensory claims?

Let's start with the definition of a psychic. A psychic is someone who can sense things that fall outside what we know and can interpret through our senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Consequently, psychics are typically seen as having a sixth sense or extrasensory perception.

Psychic abilities are very varied and may include:

  • Precognition, the ability to predict future events
  • psychometry, the ability to work out something about a person by being in contact with an object belonging to him or her
  • sensitivity to spiritual, supernatural or non-physical events. Mediums are reputed to be sensitive to spirits of the dead, for instance.
