During each four-minute telepathy test, participants are divided into two equal groups of senders and receivers – with the senders trying to mentally transmit an image, while receivers attempt to imagine what the other group is visualizing. The receivers select two images from a set of nine cards – after which the groups switch roles, and then repeat the process again for a total of three rounds during each real-time telepathy challenge. A new test begins every ten minutes, and users can participate as often as they want.

Many people have experienced a moment of telepathy when thinking about a loved one – who then happens to contact them at the same time. Studies using EEG analysis report that family and friends will naturally synchronize their brain waves when they're together, and even when located far apart. By utilizing simultaneous sensory stimulation – including binaural music and dynamic haptics, the True ESP app induces brain wave entrainment between large groups of study participants spread around the world.

Recent studies show that binaural music at 400–600 Hz, and with a 10% horizontal shift between audio channels can induce neural synchrony in the brain. True ESP features phase-coherent binaural soundtracks at specific frequencies to induce brain wave entrainment between study participants during live telepathy tests. To enhance telepathic accuracy between users, entrancing binaural music is also generated at frequencies up to 800 Hz for promoting high-gamma neural synchrony as well.

Imagine the sensation of touching a cello as it resonates – activating tactile neurons in the fingertips which send a cascade of impulses that have powerful effects on our brain waves. Emerging research in neuroscience shows that that haptic stimulation at gamma frequencies can induce neural entrainment in people located thousands of miles apart. The free True ESP app supercharges the iPhone's haptic engine to produce high-fidelity resonance patterns that feel like touching a musical instrument.

From live scoreboards to rich infographics, participants can view the results of telepathy tests using interactive tools that track progress and help identify areas for improvement. Users can also compare their performance with the results of other participants to gain a better understanding of relative strengths and weaknesses. The True ESP app also features an on-demand practice mode utilizing virtual participants to help users optimize testing strategies to enhance telepathic accuracy.

Telepathy scores are presented as odds-to-one above chance, providing an intuitive and meaningful way to convey test results. This allows participants to easily understand the probability of correct selections, and it helps users appreciate the magnitude of their telepathy results relative to chance. A live scoreboard showcases the leading participants from around the world, displaying real-time performance results and fostering a sense of national pride during regional telepathy challenges.
