Kenneth James Batcheldor (27 September 1921 – 9 March 1988) was a British clinical psychologist whose scientific experiments advanced the study of
psychokinesis, building on the work of Michael Faraday to investigate unconscious muscular action as an explanation for table-turning.[1] Batcheldor investigated the mental states that were conducive or inhibitory to the effect, attempting to create a repeatable process by which anyone might produce it.[2] Amongst other techniques, he pioneered the experimental use of infrared video recording to observe the actions of subjects in the dark.[citation needed
