Researcher Dan Graboi describes the complexities of psi perception and the scientific challenges of studying consciousness. A central focus of the conversation is the “naming problem” in remote viewing and telepathy—how the act of labeling an impression can interfere with recognizing the actual target. They explore how psi impressions often come through in fragmented, low-resolution forms that make identification difficult. Dan shares examples from his own experiments.
