We had a feeling this was going to happen: New research suggests that precognition might actually exist.

Scientists conducted an experiment in which they asked subjects to describe images and how they felt about them. Typically, if you show people a negative word before showing them a picture of something pleasant, they will have a harder time saying something nice about the second picture. (This is called priming.)

However, over the course of eight years of research, Cornell University psychologist Daryl Bem discovered that in doing the process backwards -- showing the picture, getting a response and then showing the "priming" word, people sometimes had a harder time saying positive things about the image if they were about to be shown a negative word. It's like their brains sensed what was coming.

Technically, the frequency with which this happened was only slightly higher than random chance, but the methodology used was sound enough and the results noteworthy enough that other researchers are already attempting to replicate the results or respond to the study, even though it has yet to be published, because secretly all scientists want to be Dr. Venkman.
