Recent Trends in Chinese Research on Somatic Science

Parapsychological research (somatic science) in China has undergone a dramatic development for the past two decades, but psi still remains controversial among scientists. The criticism has been intensified ever since 1995 to the point that all research is accused of being 'pseudo science'. But some serious scientists are pointing out the only way to cease the debate is to go through well controlled, formal, authentic, scientific experimentation. They appeal for coordinated proof from verification tests. Points to be tested must include exceptional human functions and qigong 'waiqi' (external or emitted qi). These tests are now ready to be run.
