The Efficacy of HypnOBEs in Producing Veridical Psi Experiences: A Replication Study.

This study evaluates the efficacy of the hypnOBE paradigm (Tressoldi et al., 2014), which is claimed to (i) hypnotically initiate outof-body states, and (ii) induce veridical (psi) perceptions of extrapersonal space. Twenty-five people were recruited for a two-phase study, all of whom demonstrated a high degree of partial hits in the experimental condition, although only one person was ostensibly able to identify the correct target. Comparisons are made between our study and prior research. We consider the qualitative factors that emerged from our two-phased project and discuss the implications for future research.
