The Institute for Precognitive Studies is dedicated to the scientific study of precognition, telepathy and other extra-cognitive phenomena. Under the direction of Dr. Richard L. Dexforth, the Institute serves as a virtual and physical meeting place for the advanced study of precognition throughout the world. We seek to facilitate communication within this research community, to provide a home for sabbatical and collaborative research projects, and to define the scientific ground rules for studying and exploring precognition. The study of precognition is necessarily a multidisciplinary one, and we hope that the independence of an institute like ours can support the breadth of research interests that this important area requires.

We also do our best to understand our place in the world at large. After centuries of misunderstanding and mistreatment, a great debt is owed to precognitives, and so we devote a significant share of our work to projects that will lead to a greater personal and public understanding of precognitive abilities, and of precognitives themselves. We offer regular programs to help the public identify precognitive skills that may have laid dormant or ignored in themselves or others, and to help recognized precognitives hone their skills. We also acknowledge that commercial interest in precognition is inevitable, and thus we sometimes collaborate with businesses who share our interest in precognitive phenomena. Our ongoing project with Exocog is one of these, and we look forward to the establishment of others. We see these collaborations as the most practical way to insure that the precognitives participating in these companies are treated with the utmost care, concern, and respect.

We welcome and appreciate your interest in the Institute. We look forward to a brighter day for precognitives, and hope that our efforts can hasten the arrival of that day.
