=== Psychic Abilities in Science and Parapsychology ===
The study of psychic abilities falls primarily under the field of [[Parapsychology]], a branch of psychology that investigates paranormal phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and other extrasensory experiences. Parapsychology seeks to understand the mechanisms behind these phenomena and to determine whether they can be scientifically validated.

* '''Scientific Investigations''': Various experiments have been conducted to test the validity of psychic claims, with mixed results. While some studies suggest the possibility of real psychic phenomena, others attribute the results to statistical anomalies, psychological effects, or fraud. As a result, psychic abilities remain controversial within the scientific community.

* '''Criticism''': Many scientists and skeptics argue that there is no reliable evidence to support the existence of psychic abilities. They often cite the lack of reproducible results and the potential for cognitive biases, such as the placebo effect and confirmation bias, in studies of psychic phenomena.
