We report an independent replication of a micropsychokinesis experiment. This is the fifth and largely independent replication of an experiment involving human intention operating on a random number generator. We assume that any "influence" of consciousness on a random number generator is not a direct, causal influence, but due to as yet poorly understood systemic correlations. We also introduced a new analytical, nonparametric strategy. We correlated physical variables, arising from the physical setup of the experiment, with psychological variables derived from operator behavior, in a 45 ϫ 45 matrix (i.e., 2,025 cells). We compared the number of significant correlations in the experiment with a control matrix, as well as with chance expectation, Editor's Note.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
