From the speaker: The World Wide Web allows for the pool of human knowledge to be accessed remotely for maximum dissemination of information and for researchers worldwide to share ideas and collaborate (Berners-Lee et al, 1994). This has presented opportunities and challenges for parapsychology including the application of digital technologies in research design; recruitment of study participants; promoting work more broadly e.g., via professional websites or social media profiles; disseminating and discussing developments in psychical research. However, there is a dearth of literature examining how parapsychology intersects with cyberpsychology: the study of how humans and computers interact. How both research disciplines interrelate, in the context of science communication, and current and future technological and societal implications, has been scarcely examined. In this talk, I will explore some of the areas in which parapsychology potentially intersects with cyberpsychology. Potential shared concerns and scope for overlap in future theoretical and empirical developments are discussed.
