The Nkisi Project A collaborative research project by Rupert
Sheldrake and Aimee Morgana on the abilities of her African Grey
parrot N'kisi. Aimée Morgana noticed that her language-using
African Grey parrot, N'kisi, often seemed to respond to her
thoughts and intentions in a seemingly telepathic manner. We set
up a series of trials to test whether this apparent telepathic
ability would be expressed in formal tests in which Aimée and
the parrot were in different rooms, on different floors, under
conditions in which the parrot could receive no sensory
information from Aimée or from anyone else. The results were
published in a paper in the Journal of Scientific Exploration

Telepathy The interest caused by this work led to the celebrated
debate at the London RSA with Prof Lewis Wolpert, which is
featured on this website, complete with an online audio tape of
the proceedings. The Telepathy Debate Aimée Morgana's own
account of her work with Nkisi, incl
