Santa Barbara Santa Maria San Luis Obispo, CA, October 18, 2026 —
UC Santa Barbara is inviting local adults aged 18 and older to participate in a telepathy study conducted by the university’s META Lab. The research is part of an international collaboration and takes place at UC Santa Barbara.
The study investigates the potential for extrasensory information transfer, according to the information provided about the project. The invitation identifies adults who live locally and meet the minimum age requirement as potential participants. It does not specify how many people the researchers hope to enroll or how participation is arranged.
Details about the study’s procedures, the time commitment, and whether participants will receive compensation were not provided. The available information also does not name the international collaborators or describe how the research is organized across institutions. No findings or conclusions from the study were included.
The invitation does not provide a recruitment timeline, application deadline, or contact information for people interested in participating. It also does not state whether participants must meet requirements beyond being local adults aged 18 or older. As a result, the precise eligibility criteria and steps for joining remain unspecified in the information available.
The project is described as an investigation of the potential for telepathy, or extrasensory information transfer. The description does not explain how that possibility will be tested or what outcomes the researchers will measure. Further details about the research design, oversight, and planned publication of results were not provided.
For now, the stated details establish the study’s location, its connection to UC Santa Barbara’s META Lab and an international research collaboration, and the age and local-residence criteria named in the invitation. Additional information about participation and the study’s methods was not included.
