The Princeton lab that tried to test mind-matter interaction directly: can focused intention nudge the output of a random event generator away from chance?
The meaning
Across decades of experiments and meta-analyses, PEAR reported small but consistent deviations from chance. It is the direct ancestor of this app, through the Psyleron hardware and SyncTXT.
The skeptic
The effects were tiny, independent replications at scale failed to find them, and critics point to subtle design and analysis choices. Mainstream science never accepted the claim.
About the research
Jahn, a Princeton aerospace physicist, and Dunne ran PEAR from 1979 to 2007, testing whether mind can influence random machines.
Key takeaways
- Ran at Princeton from 1979 to 2007.
- Reported small mind-machine effects on random event generators.
- The direct ancestor of Quantum Pings through Psyleron and SyncTXT.
