Do psychic abilities have a genetic component?

Hello everyone,

The Institue of Noetic Sciences (IONS), an American non-profit parapsychological research institute founded by former astronaut Edgar Mitchell, is starting a first-ever study on the genetics of psychic ability and we are inviting those interested in the field to participate.

Do psychic abilities have a genetic component?  Help us find out.

If you are a healthy adult and have access to your genetic data through a direct-to-consumer company like 23andMe or Ancestry.com, you may be able to participate. 

The purpose of this study is to learn whether reported psychic abilities are associated with specific genes or genetic networks.

     1. Completing an online survey asking about questions related to psychic ability. It should take about 20 minutes.
     2. Attaching a file with the genetic raw data you received from the direct-to-consumer company. All study activities will take about 30 minutes.
