The
Rhine Research Center Institute for Parapsychology, named after its founder
Joseph Banks Rhine, is a
parapsychology research unit that "aims to improve the human condition by creating a scientific understanding of those abilities and sensitivities that appear to transcend the ordinary limits of space and time." It is the successor to the
Parapsychology Laboratory at
Duke University and Rhine's later laboratory, the
Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man. Duke University severed its affiliation with the Parapsychology Laboratory during the 1960s after Rhine retired. The Rhine Research Center continues to conduct parapsychology research today, but has expanded doing related mind/body health research.
