anomalous cognition

Anomalous cognition is a term coined by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) to refer to ESP, including telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition and remote viewing. SAIC also refers to psychokinesis as anomalous perturbation.

SAIC claims their terminology is neutral. It also sounds more scientific and looks better on grant applications.
