meta analysis?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta-analysis

Invented to look at telepathy, and Rhine was definitely a psychologist (though one the field unfairly tries to forget). That being said, I thought Glass was a psychologist but he was actually a statistician, so I suppose the modern form of meta-analysis was, in fact, invented by a statistician. Do psychometricians count as statisticians? If not, then quite a few more things were invented outside of statistics.

Psychology: not just for innumerate touchy feely hippies (just mostly).
