My issue of Science News arrived this afternoon and reports on a new
controversy regarding psi experiments. The latest meta-analysis (where
multiple studies are combined to get more data) was not able to show
a statistically significant effect, unlike an earlier meta-analysis.
The controversy is now over which studies to include, which should not
be included, why some studies show much higher results than others, etc.
It is quite a mess.
