'''[[Parapsychology]]''' is the study of alleged [[paranormal]] psychological phenomena. Phenomena studied include [[extra-sensory perception]], [[psychokinesis]], and [[Life after death|survival of consciousness]] after death; parapsychologists call these phenomena ''[[Psi (parapsychology)|psi]]'', a neutral term non-suggestive of what causes the phenomena or experiences.<ref>Thouless, R. H. (1942). "Experiments on paranormal guessing". ''British Journal of Psychology'', ''33'', 15–27.</ref> Parapsychology is a [[fringe science]] because it involves research that does not fit within [[Scientific modelling|standard theoretical models]] accepted by [[Scientific consensus|mainstream science]]. So far, none of the paranormal phenomena studied by parapsychology have been proved to exist.
