The term psi denotes anomalous processes of information or energy transfer, processes such
as telepathy or other forms of extrasensory perception that are currently unexplained in
terms of known physical or biological mechanisms. The term is purely descriptive: It neither
implies that such anomalous phenomena are paranormal nor connotes anything about their
underlying mechanisms. (Daryl Bem and Charles Honorton in Psychological Bulletin, 1994)
