The authors seek to establish the existence of extraordinary
bio-perception. We conduced non-visual color recognition experiments
using color papers, color sponges and LEDs on psychic persons T. I. and
M. A., and produced efficient and interesting results. In particular,
tests using seventeen different color papers, five different colors
sponges and three different monochromatic papers produced very
significant data that offers proof for the existence of non-visual
color recognition. We also observed the tendency of errors of color
recognition. Furthermore, we found that it was more difficult for
psychic person T.I. to detect differences in colors of LED than paper
or sponge.
