A network of random event generators around the world, watching whether big shared events (like 9/11) move the collective output away from chance.
The meaning
The project reported significant deviations around major global events. It is the closest thing to a large-scale test of whether shared attention can show up in random data.
The skeptic
Independent analyses (Bancel and others) argue the statistics are shaky and the correlations do not hold up under scrutiny. The results remain contested.
About the research
A Princeton psychologist who extended PEAR into a worldwide network of random event generators.
Key takeaways
- A worldwide network of random event generators, run for over two decades.
- Reported deviations around events like 9/11 and New Year celebrations.
- The largest attempted test of collective mind-matter effects, still contested.
