WHAT DOES PARAPSYCHOLOGICAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

parapsychological

Parapsychology

Parapsychology is a field of study concerned with the investigation of paranormal and psychic phenomena. Parapsychologists study telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, near-death experiences, reincarnation, apparitional experiences, and other supernatural and paranormal claims. Modern parapsychology is largely conducted by private institutions in several different countries and funded through private donations. Parapsychological research rarely appears in mainstream science journals; most is published in a small number of niche journals. Most scientists regard parapsychology as pseudoscience. Parapsychology has been criticised for continuing investigation despite not having demonstrated conclusive evidence of psychic abilities in more than a century of research.
