Leonid Leonidovich Vasiliev (1891-1966) was a Russian Soviet parapsychologist and physiologist.〔Rosenthal, Bernice Glatzer. (1997). ''The Occult in Russian and Soviet Culture''. Cornell University. p. 258. ISBN 0-8014-8331-X〕 He worked as a professor of physiology at Leningrad University. He helped establish the first parapsychology laboratory at Leningrad. Vasiliev conducted experiments with subjects into telepathy and reported successful results.〔Research on Telepathy in the Soviet Union. (1962). ''New Scientist''. 22 March. p. 672〕 However, his experiments were never replicated and have been criticized for weak controls.〔Waterfield, Robin. (2003). ''Hidden Depths: The Story of Hypnosis''. Routledge. p. 245. ISBN 0-415-94791-X〕 After Vasiliev's main experiments were completed, his laboratory staff made an official statement declaring "We have not established whether telepathy exists. We want to find out. Then we can say yes or no."〔Neher, Andrew. (2011). ''Paranormal and Transcendental Experience: A Psychological Examination''. Dover. p. 149. ISBN 0-486-26167-0〕 His research was discontinued.〔Soviet Notebook: Crackdown on Parapsychology. (1975). ''New Scientist''. 13 February. p. 397〕 The psychologist C. E. M. Hansel has criticized Vasiliev's experiments, stating that he "made little attempt to control the human factor in his experiments... insufficient information is given in Vasiliev's book about the precise conditions under which his experiments were carried out... The chief weakness lies in the lack of precautions against errors in recording and against the experimenter being affected by what he knows about the experiment."〔Hansel, C. E. M. (1980). ''ESP and Parapsychology: A Critical Reevaluation''. Prometheus Books. pp. 209-2010〕 Vasiliev's book ''Experiments in Mental Suggestion'' was translated into English in 1963 and was popular with Western parapsychologists.〔 ==Publications== *''Mysterious Manifestations of the Human Psyche'' (1959) *''Experiments in Mental Suggestion'' (1963) *''Experiments in Distant Influence'' (1976) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leonid Vasiliev」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
