Sensory leakage is a term used to refer to information that transferred to a person by conventional means (means other than Psi) during an experiment into Psi. Carroll, Robert (2006), " [http://skepdic.com/sensoryleakage.html Sensor Leakage] " - Skeptics Dictionary (2007-04-14).]

For example, where the subject in an ESP experiment receive a visual cue - the reflection of a Zener card in the holder's glasses - sensory leakage can be said to have occurred.
