Who is the intended audience?
This FAQ was written as a general introduction to parapsychology for individuals ranging from advanced high-school students to professionals with little or no background in parapsychology. Writing for such a broad audience is a challenge, because gaining an appreciation of parapsychology today requires at least a passing knowledge of a wide range of topics, including statistics, experimental design, quantum mechanical theory, the sociology and philosophy of science, history of parapsychology, and the scientific literature on parapsychology.

Therefore, the approach in this FAQ is to clarify the complex topic of parapsychology without glossing over important points and without “dumbing down” the basic content. For a few particularly tricky issues that we do wish to cover here, we’ve included sections labeled Technical Note. We are
This FAQ was written as a general introduction to parapsychology for individuals ranging from high-school students to scientists with little or no background in parapsychology. Writing for such a broad audience is a challenge because gaining an appreciation for the science underlying modern parapsychology requires at least a passing knowledge of statistics, experimental design, modern physics, sociology and philosophy of science, history of parapsychology, and the scientific literature on parapsychology.
