A publication for the hard questions about the mind
What The Immeasurable is, and how we handle evidence on the mind, intuition and psychic claims.
The Immeasurable sits where neuroscience, psychology and engineering meet the questions people have always asked about knowing: hunches, gut feelings, flashes of insight, and claims of perception beyond the ordinary senses.
We take those questions seriously, which means taking the evidence seriously. We report what careful research shows, including when it shows nothing at all.
Our editorial standards
- Primary sources first. Claims are cited to peer-reviewed research, and we list full references at the end of every essay.
- Replication over novelty. One striking study is a lead, not a conclusion. We look for independent replications and meta-analyses.
- Effect sizes, not just p-values. We say how big an effect is, not only whether it was “significant”.
- Pre-registration matters. We give more weight to studies that declared their methods before collecting data.
- Steelman, then test. We present the strongest version of a claim before weighing it, especially for psi research.
- Corrections in the open. When we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change on the page.
Evidence ratings
Every essay opens with a rating for its central claim:
- Well established: replicated across independent labs and methods.
- Promising: supported, but replication or scope is still limited.
- Contested: credible researchers disagree; results conflict.
- Not supported: rigorous tests have not borne the claim out.
