Sensory leakage is a term used to refer to information that transferred to a person by conventional means (means other than Psi) during an experiment into Psi. [1]

For example, where the subject in an ESP experiment receive a visual cue - the reflection of a Zener card in the holder's glasses - sensory leakage can be said to have occurred.

Sensory leakage is the opposite of Anomalous cognition.
