The concept of paranormal perception is viewed with scientific skepticism in mainstream academic circles in both Brazil and the USA, though it remains popular in spiritualist, New Age, and esoteric communities.

The term is primarily used in parapsychology research, psychology discussions, and popular culture rather than in everyday conversation.
