"What I would want is evidence of psychic ability and further to study it so that it might be understood and communicated to others. Wouldn't it be wonderful if in addition to finding out legitimate psychics did exist that you could teach this to others the same way we teach grammar to children? :)"
It doesn't need to be taught...it's more a process of unlearning... quieting the chatter of the conceptual mind so that you can 'hear' yourself. Children already have it...but it gets buried by denser energy of the intellect.
Scholarly study will not help you discover or understand these abilities...in fact, they tend to inhibit them. The only way to know is to experience it directly...you won't satisfy your hunger by reading cookbooks!
You might be very interested in reading Zen and the Brain by James Austin, MD....some food for thought!
