Introduction – Extrasensory Perception (ESP) is also called as sixth sense and is a purported paranormal ability that allows the acquisition of information with no use of physical senses. It is also defined as an awareness of the world, which occurs via several mechanisms other than the known senses including foreseeing or predicting the future, mind reading, sensing when a far-off friend or family member is in trouble or any difficulty, and many other phenomena more commonly linked to illusion artists than with science.  

Human beings have five senses such as smell, touch, hearing, sight, and taste. However, some individuals believe that extrasensory perception is the sixth sense of human beings. But there is no scientific proof or evidence for extra senses.

Psychologists use extrasensory perception to explain imagined or hypothetical sixth senses. The word ‘’extrasensory perception’’ was adopted by J.B. Rhine, an American botanist at Duke University for denoting psychic abilities such as empathy, intuition, clairvoyance, psychometry, and many more. Second sight is a form of extrasensory perception in which an individual supposedly observes information as a form of a vision about future actions or events before they occur or events at distant locations.
