Contributions to the Society for Psychical Research:
Myers was a founding member of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) and a key figure in its early development. He contributed numerous articles and reports to the SPR's journal *Proceedings*, focusing on topics such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and mediumship.
Significance:
Myers' work, particularly "Human Personality," is considered foundational to the field of parapsychology. His ideas about the "subliminal self" and the potential for survival of consciousness after death continue to be debated and explored. While his work has been criticized by some for its lack of scientific rigor, it remains an important landmark in the history of the study of consciousness and the afterlife.
