•The implication was that the ganzfeld method had revealed real evidence for telepathy. • But there was a crucial flaw in this argument - one routinely overlooked in more conventional areas of science. •After this, many researchers switched to autogazfeld tests - an automated variant of the technique which used computers to perform many of the key tasks such as the random selection of images. • By minimising human involvement, the idea was to minimise the risk of flawed results. •虽然结果没有之前确凿，但是依然 很令人印象深刻。 •Though less compelling than before, the outcome was still impressive. • Defenders of telepathy point out that demanding impressive evidence from every study ignores one basic statistical fact: it takes large samples to detect small effects. •...change in attitude of mainstream scientists: most still totally reject the very idea of telepathy. • But there was a crucial flaw in this argument - one routinely overlooked in more conventional areas of science. •The problem stems at least in part from the lack of any plausible mechanism for telepathy. •This has prompted some researchers to argue that the future lies not in collecting more evidence for telepathy, but in probing possible mechanisms. •Some work has begun already, with researcher trying to identify people who are particularly successful in autogazfeld trails. • Perhaps more test like these will eventually give the researchers the evidence they are seeking and strengthen the case for the existence of telepathy.
