Daryl Bem, Patrizio Tressoldi, Thomas Rabeyron and Michael Duggan's Feeling the Future, published in F1000Research in 2015, is a peer-reviewed meta-analysis of experiments on precognition, reporting a small but statistically significant combined effect across the studies it pools. Its strength is that F1000Research publishes with open post-publication peer review, so the reviews and the data underlying the analysis are publicly visible alongside the article itself. Its limit is that Bem's original 2011 experiments on this same effect have not survived independent, pre-registered replication attempts by other researchers, and mainstream psychology treats the pooled effect as most likely explained by methodological artifacts rather than genuine precognition, so this meta-analysis should be presented as the authors' own contested defense of the effect, not as an established finding.
