"Using established scientific methods..."

Translation:

"Using statistical tests that were never meant to be used in the way we're going to use them, we will produce a large number of false positive results to convince people they're psychic".

Lol. Every time somone 'calls' a coin flip, they are psychic. Do that with a big enough room, with enough people, enough times, and you'll have someone guess the right answer to any number of multiple choice questions.

There was a TV programme in the UK about ten years ago that demonstrated this really well. A volunteer was asked to bet on five horse races, with the presenter (Derren Brown - is he famous outside of the UK?) telling them which horse to back in each case. He correctly predicted the winner five times in a row. It was revealed at the end that there were in fact 7776 volunteers, each receiving a different combination of horses. One of them had to win!

Hi there, totally understandable response. However I am going to direct you to a few of the academic journal articles which I based the app upon. I hope you read them

Delightful . Welcome to the forum AIP, I'm glad you decided to come here.

I must ask, what brought you here?

+1

Also, AIP, have you followed The Global Consciousness Project at all?

Same for the "financial" industry ... years ago some sly cats created a bunch ( 100? ) of financial advice services and had them publicly publish their forecasts ... after 10 years, you had a few that were right every time with proven track record of results that could be verified. Just close down the "losers" and keep the winners and you appear to be a financial genius.

The criticism of the app, given that it is based in scientific peer-reviewed research brought me here. And of course I have heard of the GCP work of Dean Radin and Robert Morris.
I'm happy to be here also! I just wanted to clear the air on the app not being based in science. Thank you

Sorry to disagree, but the work of Russell Targ and SRI in the prediction of silver market futures over the course of several weeks in 1982 was a massive success, generating over 200k in profit. I'm not supporting a position here, as much as informing. I can provide the peer-reviewed research if necessary?

Thanks

For what it's worth, I consent to my words being used for your project, AIP. Also, Hogman's criticism could be brought to bear on most any project using statistical analysis - it's psychometric rigour which separates .

How specifically did you find us though? I'm interested, seeing as we're a pretty niche community (and only happen to be discussing your app and project because I have an eclectic morning roundup).
