Parapsychology is the study of alleged psychic phenomena (extrasensory perception, telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis (also called telekinesis), and psychometry) and other paranormal claims, for example, those related to near-death experiences, synchronicity, apparitional experiences, etc. [1] Criticized as being a pseudoscience, the majority of mainstream scientists reject it.
Telekinesis (from Ancient Greek τηλε- 'far off' and -κίνησις 'motion' [1]) is a purported psychic ability allowing an individual to influence a physical system without physical interaction. [2] [3] Experiments to prove the existence of telekinesis have historically been criticized for lack of proper controls and repeatability.

The receiver is then required to receive information from the sender.
