超心理學於1969年被「美國科學促進會」接納為正式會員,目前超心理學所研究的「功能人眼」科學實驗有透視功能、內視功能、遙視功能。透視功能方面,中國大陸的北京大學生命科學學院陳守良教授研究最早,成果豐碩,確認許多小孩均具有「透視潛能」。臺灣則有李嗣涔教授十餘年研究,在一次偶然的實驗意外中,發現了「信息場」(俗稱靈界)的存在,測試後的證據顯示這個信息場,並非大腦的幻覺,而且因人的修為高低而有不同的所見。同時也啟發現代人去理解兩千多年來東、西方宗教所主張的「靈異世界」。有鑑於臺灣積極的「透視潛能」研究,美國亞利桑納大學心理系格瑞.史瓦茲(Gary Schwartz)教授,自2006年起,與李嗣涔教授、崔玖教授開始一個「身心靈」大型合作計畫。超心理學「遙視功能」科學研究,除了部份功能人的案例外,美國中央情報局(CIA)為應對挑戰蘇聯也進行過超能力「遙視功能」的開發,美國研究結果,發現的確有成功能力,但不穩定;成功率勉強達到1/4,到1996年劃了一個句號。至於超心理學許多功能人的「內視功能」現象,科學家至今仍無法理解其中原因,而最有能力解答這個問題的非佛教莫屬。佛教經典揭示,眾生與諸佛其實都同樣具備無量德能。只要徹底地捨棄妄想、分別、執著與真心相應,自性本有的神奇功能就會自然顯現出來,達到隨心轉物自在無礙。「功能人眼」中具有「微視」功能者全球各地並不少見,但並未受到超心理學的重視與研究。說明超心理學的「功能人眼」科學實驗尚有許多「仍待努力」的空間。
Parapsychology was recognized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1969. The "functional human eye" science experiments of parapsychology researched currently include perspective function, inward vision function, and remote vision function. Professor Sou-liang Chen from School of Life Sciences, Peking University is the first researching the perspective function. He had fruitful results and found many children with "perspective potential". Processor Si-chen Lee from Taiwan has also researched on this field for over ten years. He incidentally discovered the "message field" (commonly known as spirit world) in an experiment accident. The experimental evidence showed that the message field was not a cerebral illusion, and a person could see it differently depending on the person's practice. He also inspires modern people to understand the "spirit world" advocated by western and eastern religions in the past two thousand years. Responding to the active researches on the "perspective potential" in Taiwan, Professor Gray Schwartz from Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, US, started a large-scale cooperation project called "body, mind, and spirit" with Professor Si-chen Lee and Professor Jiu Cui from 2006. As far as the "remote vision function" science research of parapsychology, besides some individual psychic cases, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has proceeded on some "remote vision function" super power development in order to respond to the challenges of the Soviet Union. The research of the US discovered some successful super power, but these were not stable. The successful rate reluctantly reached 1/4, and the development was ended in 1996. As far as the "inward vision function" phenomenon of many individual psychics in parapsychology, scientists still cannot understand the reason inside it. Buddhism is the most capable one for answering this question. Buddhist scriptures reveal that all human beings and Buddha have boundless virtue power. As long as the delusion and differentiation are completely abandoned and the persistence works in concert with sincerity, the original miracle power will naturally show to freely move objects as wish. Many cases in the world showed that the "functional human eye" contains the "micro vision" function, but these cases did not receive the attention. This explains that the "functional human eye" science experiment of parapsychology still has room to grow.
