Preface : * "Extra-Sensory Perception", by J. B. Rhine, [1934], p. 1 PREFACE THERE has been considerable deliberation prior to the publication of this work on perception-without-the-senses. It is three years since it was begun, and more than two years since the results began to be so striking as to move...
Introduction : * "Extra-Sensory Perception", by J. B. Rhine, [1934], p. ix INTRODUCTION "By" Dr. Walter Franklin Prince My acquaintance with the author of this book dates from 1926. I early learned that he was keen to discover the indicia of deception within the field of psychic research, and at the same time...
Part I. General Introduction. Appendix : * "Extra-Sensory Perception", by J. B. Rhine, [1934], APPENDIX TO CHAPTER 2 Mathematics Of Probability Used In Evaluation From the beginning of the scientific period of parapsychology, the subject has had the aid of mathematical methods in its technique of evaluation. Professor Richet first...
Foreword : * "Extra-Sensory Perception", by J. B. Rhine, [1934], p. v FOREWORD "By" Professor William MacDougall THE work reported in this volume is the first fruit of the policy of naturalization of "psychical research" within the universities. It goes far to justify that policy; to show, first, th...
Part Iii. Explanation And Discussion. Appendix : * "Extra-Sensory Perception", by J. B. Rhine, [1934], APPENDIX TO CHAPTER 15 Suggestions To Those Who May Care To Repeat These Experiments 1 It is hoped that others will repeat these experiments or, better still perform more advanced ones. Much depends upon the conditions of the tests...
Part Ii. The Experimental Results. Chapter : * "Extra-Sensory Perception", by J. B. Rhine, [1934], CHAPTER 8 Five Other Major Subjects It will be convenient to complete the presentation of the other five principal subjects as something of a single unit of contribution, partly in the interest of economizing space and partly because they have...

Stuart Mr. Stuart rose to prominence as a subject after Linzmayer but as an investigator he antedated Linzmayer's best work. The experiments made by Stuart with other subjects have been reported in detail already in Chapter...

From The Viewpoint Of General Parapsychology No branch of science can have a central and stable body of knowledge until it has established inner relationships between its own phenomena. There have been frequent and persistent...

If it is correct to assume some energetic causal relationship between the percipient and the agent or card, as, I think, our scientific logic requires, then the percipient is...

Part Ii. The Experimental Results. Chapter. Part 04 : * "Extra-Sensory Perception", by J. B. Rhine, [1934], p. 59 CHAPTER 5 A. J. Linzmayer Mr. Linzmayer was our first really striking subject, and it is perhaps only natural that we should especially appreciate him and his work. Also he has been very patient and co-operative in this work over a period...
Part Iii. Explanation And Discussion. Chapter. Part 04 : * "Extra-Sensory Perception", by J. B. Rhine, [1934], CHAPTER 12 The Psychological Conditions And Bearings Of The Results In the more restricted psychological field there has arisen as yet no special hypothesis for the explanation of the E.S.P. type of phenomena, excepting those already dealt with...
Part I. General Introduction. Chapter 2 : * "Extra-Sensory Perception", by J. B. Rhine, [1934], CHAPTER 2 Historical Background The evidence reported for Extra-Sensory Perception is very varied in character, especially if we include the less experimental and more complex types of phenomena. First of all in importance is the divisi...

One of the questions...
