A Novosibirsk toxicologist, Dr S. V. Speransky, discovered a form of telepathy between starving and normally nourished mice. He observed that impulses from hungry mice were transmitted in such a manner that the non-starving mice acted as if they, themselves, were famished. The most complete account of the Speransky experiment appeared in "Parapsychology in the USSR" (Part IID), translated by Larissa Vilenskaya from the researcher's original manuscript. As a toxicologist, Speransky's primary interest was the impact of poisons on living organisms; the mind-to-mind reaction among the mice was encountered acciden- tally.
