A rigorous three-way comparison of human, artificial, and null agents on quantum random number generator influence. Participate: Experiment 4 The Consciousness Detection Problem How do you know if something is conscious? We don’t really know and have difficulty even pinning down a definition of consciousness. Personally, I lean more towards idealism than physicalism where I…

It’s been over a month since my last post, and a lot has shifted for me. When I built out Experiments 1 and 2, I thought the major challenges in validating psi research lay in experimental setup. I believed experimenters choosing which parts of data to analyze, dropping data points, data not being encrypted to…

Resonance with Randomness The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) lab famously asked whether human intention could bias the outputs of random machines. Their studies collected millions of trials and reported tiny but statistically significant deviations. But follow-up replications by other labs—sometimes using PEAR’s own equipment and protocols—found no such effect. So why revisit a test…

Revisiting Zener Cards In Sealed Envelopes The Zener card test is famous mostly for its flaws. Five symbols, shuffled and guessed, were meant to probe psychic perception. But critics never ran out of ways to explain away results: the cards were bent, the experimenter smirked, the shuffles weren’t perfect, the reporting was selective. Our version…
