Ricardo Musso and Argentine experimental parapsychology

Record summary

Ricardo Musso was a prominent Argentine psychologist and parapsychology advocate whose work helped organize experimental and theoretical discussion of ESP and psychokinesis in Buenos Aires during the mid-century period. His publications and institutional activity are a lead for comparing Latin American reception of Rhine-style methods, statistical evidence and the psychology of anomalous belief. The precise boundaries of his organizations and individual experiments need documentary verification, and favorable interpretations should be distinguished from replication results, skeptical critiques and ordinary sensory or procedural explanations.
