The Telepathy Tapes is a podcast that explores the origins of consciousness and the unexplained abilities of ESP through science, verifiable experience, formal testing, and human story. In Season One, non-speaking individuals with autism reveal striking telepathic abilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about the mind. In Season Two, the lens widens to extraordinary experiences that invite us to rethink reality itself. From near death experiences to telepathic communication with animals, energy healing to plant intelligence, and the origins of creativity to sudden savant abilities -- each episode offers a rare glimpse into the vast terrain of consciousness beyond the brain.

In 2011, Daryl Bem published 'Feeling the future: Experimental evidence for anomalous retroactive influences on cognition and affect' (DOI: 10.1037/a0021524). PDF

Presentiment is a feeling that anticipates the future. When you show someone an erotic picture, their skin-conductance goes up more than if you show them a bland picture. In a presentiment study, they are shown random pictures, and it's found that their skin-conductance goes up a moment before the erotic picture appears. Feeling the Future.

It's a paper about replicability, meta-analyses, whether the scientific method can be trusted.

They say publication bias is a big problem, and for that reason we see absurd results in the literature. Like the way meta-analyses of ganzfeld studies show find a 32% rate of correctly guessing 'transmitted' images, instead of the 25% rate you'd get from chance.

To show how the published literature is different from real experimental results (to prove their point about publication bias), they do eight ganzfeld studies.... and get a 32% hit-rate.
