Extrasensory Perception is a 1934 book written by parapsychologist Joseph Banks Rhine, which discusses his research work at Duke University. Extrasensory perception is the ability to acquire information shielded from the senses, and the book was "of such a scope and of such promise as to revolutionize psychical research and to make its title literally a household phrase".[1] The book received worldwide attention and became the focus of criticism and controversy when some objections were raised about the validity of Rhine's work. In response, Rhine published Extrasensory Perception after Sixty Years in 1940 with a number of colleagues, to address the objections raised.[1]
