Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This study looks at the research that the Soviet Union carried out into psychic phenomena, a subject that many Western scientists dismissed. Its authors, Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder, base their account on archival evidence that had only lately become available to outsiders. The result is a picture of laboratory experiments, state-funded inquiries and researchers who tried to measure mental powers with the tools of physics and biology. Readers get a view of how a closed scientific system approached telepathy and related claims during the Cold War, and of the debates that followed between believers and doubters.
