Extrasensory perception in animals

There have been numerous studies to determine whether animals possess extrasensory perceptions, or animal psi; Joseph Banks Rhine coined the term anpsi to refer to psychic abilities in animals.

Case studies

The parapsychologist Helmut Schmidt and the biologist Remy Chauvin both have claimed that extrasensory perception can be found in animals due to the results of experiments they carried out. Chauvin did experiments with rats and his results were 58% over the chance level, there was no obvious explanation for the animal's behavior and he concluded that the rats are most likely to have used a form of extrasensory perception.^[1]
