21st Century Introductory Courses in Parapsychology, Paraphysics, and Extrasensory Perception

Online, May 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The University of Alternative Studies offers higher education degree programs in a variety of Psychical Studies. Recently, the University launched a Bachelor of Science degree program in Telepathic Studies. Today, the University of Alternative Studies is announcing that it is now offering individual courses. These courses include a 21st century Introduction to Parapsychology, Introduction to Paraphysics, and Introduction to Extrasensory Perception (ESP). Tuition fees for these courses are reduced for a limited time only to only $24.95 per course. The University's mission is to publicly stimulate interest in psychical research and practical applications of psychic ability. The University is achieving this via affordable tuition, innovative concepts, open enrollment, and through degree program proceeds donations to parapsychological research efforts.

The University's Introduction to Parapsychology involves Quantum Modeling and Cognitive Approaches to Psychical Phenomena. Topics addresses include:

(1) The psychological aspects of how and when human beings are able to utilize psi through promising models including models involving quantum mechanical approaches to cognition, and memory models. Such models of psi manifestation attempt to explain how extrasensory information enters the central nervous system or information processing center, and how the system deals with that information. In regards to psychokinesis, such models attempt to explain what manner of information processing is taking place, and what the requirements for the information to be transmitted into the environment are. (2) Biological utilization of non-local communication, the reverse direction problem, the binding problem, the human brain and neuro-quantum interactions, and rain stimulation via circumcerebral magnetic fields. (3) The question whether a quantum-like approach is actually more advantageous over classical approaches, and address quantum mechanical principles, properties and features resulting cognitive effects related to content sensitivity, association, the human lexicon, and psychological function in general. (4) Quantum-like mental entanglement, how this new quantum mechanical approach is shedding light on an array of anomalous experimental results composed over the greater portion of a century, pseudo-sensory models, memory models involving memory theory and associated phenomenology, receptive psi processes, memory and psi processes, the first sight model, psi requirements, and the part played by the default mode network.

The University's Introduction to Paraphysics involves both Classical and Quantum Modeling Approaches to Psychical Phenomena. Topics addresses include:

(1) Both classical and quantum mechanical modeling approaches to psi phenomena including those pertaining to the role of psi phenomena such as the psi-mediated instrumental response (PMIR) and relative need-serving qualities of psi, psychokinesis as a primary psi process, and psi as a product of evolution via Darwinian theory. (2) Classical models including electromagnetic models, energy field models, and the zero-point field model. (3) Associations of psi phenomena with quantum theory, and new approaches to such phenomena via quantum mechanical modeling. (4) An elaboration on the essential role of quantum information theory in regards to psi phenomena, the view of computational living systems, the macroscopic challenge for quantum computation and psychical research, the quantum efficiency of psi, and the non-local communicative nature of psi. (5) The part played by Nature in regards to the mediation of psi via the professor of Psychical Studies own hypothesis addressing Nature as an experient accessible universal information processing and storage system with features of four dimensionalism. (6) Geomagnetic entanglement, permanent and seemingly macroscopic entanglement, and quantum non-local communication in regards to psi.

And finally, the University's Introduction to Extrasensory Perception involves a Quantum Mechanical Approach to ESP Phenomenology. Topics addresses include:

(1) The psychical influence of information via an experients influence over the biological basis of consciousness and the mental process by which we perceive, act, learn, and remember (Telepathy), the influence of our objective environment (Clairvoyance), the stages of sensory processing i.e. sensation and perception, sensory systems, and sensory modalities, and the four stages of extrasensory perception including the sensory anticipation of the event, subliminal registration of the sensation, experience of a collection of sensations that the brain attempts to construe, and the attributed understanding of the experience. (2) A biophoton model in regards to ESP involving ultra weak biophoton (bio-light) emissions (light from within and emanating from human beings capable of cooperation and communication throughout the entire mind and body), biophotonic processes and effects, the measurement utilization for indicating cellular and overall health, emissions as a by-product of cellular metabolism and an overall regulating field, and the "master conductor" role of DNA as the most fundamental source of biophoton emissions capable of emitting a wide range of frequency-based communication at the quantum level internal and possibly external to the body. (3) Additive and subtractive extrasensory information, changes in direction of orientation, or intention, requirement of uncertainty, metaphorical and fragmentation issues, our extension beyond space-time, the bimodal nature of psi, psi-unconducive states (e.g. disinterest, distraction, anxiety, and conscious work), and psi-conducive states (e.g. uncertainty, confusion, and disorientation). (4) Predispositions to psychical experiences including intention, extraversion, motivation, creativity, innovation, and experiential skills. (5) The phenomenological approach to extrasensory including telepathy vs. clairvoyance, temporal features, general extrasensory perception, realistic and unrealistic dreams, intuitive impressions, and hallucinations.

The estimated course completion time is 2 weeks + for each course. Courses involve only one exam, and while some prerequisites are suggested, they are not mandatory. A certificate of course completion is submitted to all graduates of individual courses, and individual courses credits can be transferred to a relative degree program if the student chooses to further their educational advancement post course completion. In addition, the University is continually looking for like-minded individuals and organizations who would like to become a part of the University and aid them in their mission.
