The [[Duke University Parapsychology Laboratory]] was a research unit founded in 1930 by [[J. B. Rhine]], a botanist who sought to bring scientific rigor to the study of psychic phenomena. Rhine, frustrated by the theatrical displays of séance mediums, aimed to banish "mediumistic monkeying-about" and instead focused on controlled experiments, such as card-guessing and dice-throwing, to generate statistical evidence for psi.[^1]
