About

The only endowed parapsychology research unit within a UK university, established at the University of Edinburgh following a bequest from author Arthur Koestler. The KPU conducts academic research on anomalous cognition including ESP, psychokinesis, and anomalous experiences, publishing in peer-reviewed journals and contributing to the international parapsychology literature. Its university affiliation provides institutional credibility rarely available to parapsychology programs and ensures a research standard governed by academic norms. The KPU maintains close ties with the Society for Psychical Research and is a key node in the UK academic parapsychology network.
