A couple of the sites I checked above seem to have the brain wave method of detection. I've seen shows where this is claimed to exist. But, skeptics point that you can easily manipulate data.
The one that I kind of followed that had the greatest interest to me was the tapping of the subconscious mind, where the dream state was analyzed during rest, then during full consciousness they looked for repetition of patterns. Some people seemed to make sporadic decisions that went against what could be assumed to be expected, with better than average outcome.
They were given a choice of several courses of action, and it seemed they would spontaneously follow something out of the norm, on a hunch. They then got reward with something that should have been unpredictable.
This awareness through dreams is often indicated throughout time. Biblical references are given for enlightenment through dreams. And, many interpreters abound on the Inet even.
It's interesting, as dreams are not well understood, and why things happen the way they do in the subconscious state. That some could make better decisions, and certain patterns become prominent in mental activity that were similar to a prior state, is quite interesting. I think.

hmmm... I don't know much about the dreams or subconscious roots of psi. I take the opposite approach, to try and be totally 'aware'. It doesn't really enable me to say I have psi, but for me awareness seems to enable me to sometimes appear like I have psi, like sometimes the phone rings and I'll tell my wife its so and so, and sure enough I guessed it right. But, being 'aware' I intuitively deduce who it is (I'm not always right!) based on the fact that certain people tend to call at certain times after a certain period of time with no phone calls. In a sense, I am aware of disparate facts but that awareness gives me a strong intuition.
Hopefully that makes sense
For more information on 'awareness' look up on a web search the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurthi. He's not my guru or anything but has some good ideas.
In the meantime I'll look into to this concept of dreams and subconsious. Lastly I sucked at the psi tests on the sites I listed in my previous posts.
