as always from Wiki

The word psychic refers to the theoretical ability of perceiving information hidden from the normal senses, through what is described as extrasensory perception, or to those people said to have such abilities. It is also used to refer to theatrical performers who use techniques such as prestidigitation and cold reading to produce the appearance of such abilities. It has also been used to describe the belief of the ability of the mind to influence the world physically and telekinetic powers some claim to demonstrate, such as Uri Geller.

 

The scientific community has rejected all claims of psychic phenomena, and no compelling evidence of psychic phenomena has been found. A study using neuroimaging published in 2008 provides the strongest evidence yet obtained that paranormal mental phenomena do not exist.

In 1988 the U.S. National Academy of Sciences gave a report on the subject that concluded there is "no scientific justification from research conducted over a period of 130 years for the existence of parapsychological phenomena." In 1991 a survey of opinion amongst scientists in the National Academy of Sciences, 96% described themselves as "skeptical" of ESP, although 2% believed in psi and 10% felt that parapsychological research should be encouraged

What seems real to the mind is a tricky thing. They say seeing is believing, but there are cases where it's best not to believe what you see, or hear.

 

Another patient, his face full of desperation told me that a lizard had been living in a hammock in his chest. It had given birth to three small lizards which had crawled up into his head and eaten away his brain. What comfort could I offer him? Could I tell him that all this was a figment of his imagination when he could see the beasts in a thousand colors and dimensions and actually feel their slightest movement? No real experience of the normal person will rival this patient's sensation of reality.

People who study schizophrenia have speculated that the part of our brain which gives us our imagination can be wired a bit differently such that it networks around to our senses. In this way, it becomes impossible to distinguish some sensation (perhaps a voice) that came from outside a person's mind and one that came from inside a person's mind.

 

It sounds just as real. It seems just as real. To the mind, it is just as real. I can't imagine being faced with such a predicament.
