See all- Let's Discuss... Telepathy and the supernatural mindThe Mad Hatter Hotel, Southwark, London
Throughout history, stories appear of unbelievable powers, like telepathy, telekinesis and teleportation.
This topic is inspired by The Telepathy Tapes, a podcast looking through claims of families with nonverbal autistic children who they claim are telepathic. These modern accounts raise fascinating questions about human consciousness, the unexplored capacities of the mind, and taboos in scientific research.
Can these mystical powers be real?
Should they be empirically investigated?
Where did these ideas and the belief in them come from?
What drives our enduring fascination with such phenomena?
