Dark Cognition

"David Vernon's book Dark Cognition is an impressive overview of research in parapsychology. There could be no better guide to the basic issues in this field and the scientific literature on these subjects. Not only does Vernon masterfully summarise and discuss what is known, but just as importantly, points out what is not known. The questions at the end of each chapter should lead to many thoughtful discussions. I strongly recommend this book."- Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, biologist and author of The Science Delusion.

"Dark Cognition is an accurate and comprehensive overview of the scientific evidence, scholarly debates, and implications of psychic phenomena. Anyone interested in this perennially fascinating and controversial topic will benefit by studying David Vernon's book."- Dean Radin, PhD, Chief Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences.

"Dark Cognition brings together some of the main research areas within the field of parapsychology. The book covers an interesting range of topics, addressing many issues with a seriousness and clarity that makes them accessible to the non-specialist. David Vernon makes a good job of showing how important these findings are for any theory of consciousness." -Renaud Evrard, Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of Lorraine and President of the Parapsychological Association.

"As a serious, thorough and fair-minded presentation of psi, Dark Cognition should prove a formidable resource in persuading a new generation of open-minded students to reject the old paradigm and adopt a new one." - Michael Prescott, reviewed in Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, 2021, 86(2)
