J. B. Rhine

درباره نویسنده

Joseph B. Rhine was a prominent American botanist and parapsychologist, best known for his pioneering work in the study of extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis. He founded the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University, where he conducted experiments that aimed to provide empirical evidence for psychic phenomena. Rhine's innovative approaches to experimentation and his development of the Zener cards became foundational elements in the field of parapsychology, stimulating both interest and skepticism in equal measure.

Throughout his career, Rhine published numerous books and papers that detailed his findings and theories, including titles like 'Parapsychology: Frontier Science of the Mind' and 'Extra Sensory Perception'. His work not only influenced the scientific community but also sparked public fascination with the potential of the human mind. Despite facing criticism from some quarters, Rhine's contributions laid the groundwork for future research in psychic phenomena, and his legacy continues to be felt in both parapsychological inquiry and the broader study of consciousness.
