From Intuition to ESP |
Articles, evidence and stories involving the apparent ability of human beings to gather or receive information in ways that are not explained by the 5 commonly accepted sensory modalities.
Collectively, telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition are known as extrasensory perception (ESP), as they all involve information gathering.

Telepathy |
Telepathy is the transmission of information from mind to mind, after we have ruled out ordinary physical means like talking to one another or sign language, and ruled out inference from physically known data.

|
Clairvoyance |
Clairvoyance is the direct extrasensory perception of information about the physical world, without the intervention of another mind which already knows the information by ordinary sensory means, The classical card test studies involved a percipient giving impressions of the order of a deck of randomized cards when no living human knew what the order of that deck was. Many studies showed enough hits to establish clairvoyance. The information transmission rate is about the same as in telepathy studies.3 Both telepathy and clairvoyance seem unaffected by physical factors like spatial distance or physical shielding.

Precognition |
Precognition is the prediction of the future when the future is determined in a random way, such that inference from present knowledge would not be helpful. The classic experimental design is to ask a percipient to predict the order of a target deck of cards, but the cards will be randomly shuffled at some future date, Precognition of this sort has been successful at intervals of up to a year. Curiously the average information transfer rate is much lower than in present-time telepathy or clairvoyance studies

Psychokinesis |
Psychokinesis (PK) is is one of the four well known psychic phenomenon. It is popularly called "mind over matter. Classic tests involved wishing or willing which way machine thrown dice would turn up, although the target object is now usually an electronic random number generator. The frequency of PK appearance is about the same as precognition.
