Parapsychology/"psychic research" is presently not having sufficient number of man hours devoted to it. Yet, this field of endeavor can be a significant part of mainstream science. Via a conceptual overlap in subject matter, even laboratories connected with experimental psychology, physical anthropology, etc. could (via the enabling technology of brain imaging) locate the neuroanatomical basis for the generation or reception of parapsychological (psychical) energies.

To the biologist, the electric eel might be a fruitful model in psychic research. These fish can locate objects without the benefits of ordinary senses. [Clairvoyance] They can effect distant objects -- prey or predator alike. [Psychokinesis] The electric eels can communicate via a non-visual, non-olfactory, non-tactile and a non-auditory means. [Telepathy]
The enabling technology of brain imaging (fMRI and the 256 channel EEG) holds out the hope that the anatomic originators of *psi* energy generation and reception might be located. (After all, neuronal cell populations active as ordinary events transpire are routinely scrutinized via brain imaging technology in university neuroscience departments.)
For those who are unacquainted with the study of evoked potentials via eletroencephalography, a few links are recommended.
The typical research lab uses some variants of the items displayed here and here. A nice primer on the ideas and procedures used in a "brain localization" procedure is described here. In any event, Neuro-Kinetik recognizes the utility of single event EEG recordings [as might obtain in epileptology], as well as the statistically strong methodology of averaging over many trials.

The main obstacle to locating the neuroanatomic correlates of "psychical" activity (via imaging) is the lack of intent. (Secondarily, there is the the cost of experimentation.) Should one wish to show that anomalous capabilities are developmentally available in the general population, subjects who can exhibit such unambiguous and large effects can easily be located.

The research costs for a project to locate the neuroanatomic receptors/effectors for parapsychological energies are essentially on an organizational scale.

(An organization that deals with the possible action of these "psychic" energies [but encourages clinical research only] is National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. They work with [among other things] "traditional Chinese medicine", wherein the concept of an internally generated biological energy, that can be transferred externally [qi] is widely used. )

Also of interest to Neuro-Kinetik is the U.S. Air Force Teleportation Physics Study: specially Section Five which deals with biologically caused events. [Incidentally: If the Teleportation Physics Study link does not work, just paste "http://www.fas.org/sgp/eprint/teleport.pdf" into a Google search, and click on the retrieved link... This seems to work every time.]

Some of the research subjects that would be nice to investigate include: "the girl with the X-ray eyes", the chinese "magnetic family" [similar to Liew Thow Lin (the head of an other magnetic family in Malaysia)], people with some "fire immunity", and a woman who makes her living, by becoming "unliftable".

Thus, when the above mentioned research is completed, a link in the causative chain for biologically generated psi mechanisms will be located. [Eventually, to yield a new, manipulable energy.]

Meanwhile, to raise funds for this endeavor, Neuro-Kinetik has decided on the non-profit charity organization approach.
