The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar [[Frederic William Henry Myers|Fredric W. H. Myers]], a founder of the [[Society for Psychical Research]], and has remained more popular than the more-correct expression ''[[Thought transference|thought-transference]]''. Many studies seeking to detect, understand, and utilize telepathy have been done within this field. The scientific community does not regard telepathy as a real phenomenon as actual telepathy has never been demonstrated to a greater degree than pure chance under controlled experimental conditions. | + | == See also == |
