The
Psi Meeting focuses traditionally on Psi Research, aiming
to contribute to the scientific development of this field.
The seventh edition, however, expands this focus to include
related areas, encouraging even more interdisciplinary
perspectives. These areas can include various psychological
approaches such as Anomalistic Psychology (the theme of
this edition), Cognitive Psychology, Social Psychology,
Psychology of Religion, Transpersonal Psychology and Psychopathology,
among others. It can also include Physics, Biology, Anthropology
and History, as well as consciousness study disciplines,
for example Philosophy and Cognitive Neuroscience. The
meeting aims, therefore, to develop the integration of
psi research with other areas, allowing psi researchers
to know these areas better and vice versa.
The Psi Meeting intends to stimulate a cross-cultural
approach, promoting the integration of researchers from
several countries and cultures. It also seeks to spread
the knowledge produced in these areas into society, aiming
at social integration and feedback.
As
such, the following is expected: a) 18
scientific papers; b) 2 round tables
(I. The varieties of human experiences, and II. Psi research
and Anomalistic Psychology); c) 2 guest
speakers: Stanley Krippner (Ph.D.) and
Carlos Alvarado (Ph.D.) from the United
States and d) 4 informal presentations:
Ravil
Sedreev, (B.Sc.) from
Russia; Hideyuki
Kokubo, (B.Sc.) from
Japan; Joan
H. Hageman,
(Ph.D.) from USA; David
Luke (Ph.D.)
from UK and Roger
Nelson, (Ph.D.) from
USA.
Translation
(from English to Portuguese and vice versa) will be provided
for the works and lectures presented in order to minimize
language limitations).
