His father was Joseph Woolley, the Archdeacon of Suffolk.[2] He studied anatomy and physiology at King's College, Cambridge. He obtained his M.D. from Cambridge University in 1912. In 1902 he was elected a member of The Physiological Society and he published papers in the Journal of Physiology (1907-1915). He worked as a lecturer at St Thomas's Hospital.[2] Woolley was a council member and the Honorary Research Officer of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR).[4][3] He resigned from the SPR in 1932.[4] In February 1927, with the co-operation of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Woolley who was at the time the Research Officer for the SPR, arranged a telepathy experiment in which radio listeners were asked to take part. The experiment involved 'agents' thinking about five selected objects in an office at Tavistock Square, whilst listeners on the radio were asked to identify the objects from the BBC studio at Savoy Hill. 24, 659 answers were received. The results revealed no evidence for telepathy.[5][6][7] Woolley was a friend of English novelist E. M. Forster and went on holiday with him to Italy in the 1900s.[8][9][10] Selected publications
