etäsenseeraukseen

Etäsenseeraukseen, known in English as remote viewing, is a purported psychic ability to acquire information about a distant or unseen target by means of extrasensory perception. Proponents claim that remote viewers can perceive and describe locations, people, or events that are not accessible through ordinary sensory channels. This phenomenon is often associated with parapsychology and has been explored in various research projects, some of which were initiated by government agencies seeking to understand its potential applications.

The process of remote viewing typically involves a viewer being given a cue, such as a set of coordinates or a drawing, which is intended to link them to the target. The viewer then attempts to describe their perceptions, which may include visual imagery, sounds, smells, or feelings. These descriptions are often recorded and later compared to the actual target to assess accuracy. Skeptics, however, attribute the apparent successes of remote viewing to factors such as vague descriptions, subjective interpretation, and confirmation bias. Scientific research into remote viewing has yielded controversial results, with some studies suggesting effects beyond chance, while others have found no convincing evidence of its existence. The scientific community generally regards remote viewing as a pseudoscience, lacking robust empirical support and a coherent theoretical framework. Despite this, interest in remote viewing persists, and it continues to be a topic of discussion in popular culture and fringe scientific circles.
