  1. The Daniel Experiment: Sitter Group Contributions with Field RNG and MESA Environmental Recordings.Mike Wilson, Bryan J. Williams, Timothy M. Harte & William J. Roll - 2010 - Journal of Scientific Exploration 24 (4).
    In an effort to further explore ostensible macroscopic psychokinesis (macro-PK) effects like those previously reported by Batcheldor (1966), Bourgeois (1994), Owen and Sparrow (1976), and Ullman (2001) in a sitter group setting, the first author designed and conducted a series of fifteen experimental sessions in which sitters claiming exceptional abilities attempted to generate a pseudo-spirit named "Daniel," to whom physical phenomena were attributed. To explore possible physical correlates of macro-PK, two approaches to measurement were utilized. In the first, sample data (...)

  • Response to May and Spottiswoode on Experimenter Effect as the Explanation for GCP Results.Roger D. Nelson - 2011 - Journal of Scientific Exploration 25 (4).
    I appreciate the opportunity to respond to the article by May and Spottiswoode (hereafter M&S) in which they attempt to identify the source of the anomalous correlations reported by the Global Consciousness Project (GCP). Their aim is to show that the GCP data, like laboratory micro-PK data, can be explained in terms of Decision Augmentation Theory (DAT), and in particular as an experimenter effect. The experimenter they have in mind is Roger Nelson, and while I suppose it is some sort (...)

  • Reply to May and Spottiswoode's "The Global Consciousness Project: Identifying the Source of Psi".Peter Bancel - 2011 - Journal of Scientific Exploration 25 (4).
    I am pleased that May and Spottiswoode have initiated a discussion about the Global Consciousness Project (GCP), and I would like to thank the JSE editors for this opportunity to respond to their paper. May and Spottiswoode (M&S) suggest that the source of the statistical deviations reported by the GCP can be attributed to an experimenter effect and that Decision Augmentation Theory (DAT) can adequately model the GCP results. While I disagree with the analysis, their contribution is particularly welcome since (...)

  • The Global Consciousness Project, Identifying the Source of Psi: A Response to Nelson and Bancel.Edwin C. May & S. James P. Spottiswoode - 2011 - Journal of Scientific Exploration 25 (4).
    First of all we want to express our thanks to the Journal for allowing us to have the “last” word. We put last in quotes because the very good news about this exchange is that the discussion will undoubtedly continue. While it might be possible to respond point by point to Nelson and Bancel’s remarks, we prefer to focus on serious points of disagreement. We will comment upon their responses separately. Before we begin, it is important to recognize that while (...)

  • Leakproofing the Singularity.Roman V. Yampolskiy - 2012 - Journal of Consciousness Studies 19 (1-2):194-214.
    This paper attempts to formalize and to address the ‘leakproofing’ of the Singularity problem presented by David Chalmers. The paper begins with the definition of the Artificial Intelligence Confinement Problem. After analysis of existing solutions and their shortcomings, a protocol is proposed aimed at making a more secure confinement environment which might delay potential negative effect from the technological singularity while allowing humanity to benefit from the superintelligence.

  • What Can Consciousness Anomalies Tell Us About Quantum Mechanics?George Williams - 2016 - Journal of Scientific Exploration 30 (3):326-354.
    In this paper, I explore the link between consciousness and quantum mechanics. Often explanations that invoke consciousness to help explain some of the most perplexing aspects of quantum mechanics are not given serious attention. However, casual dismissal is perhaps unwarranted, given the persistence of the measurement problem, as well as the mysterious nature of consciousness. Using data accumulated from experiments in parapsychology, I examine what anomalous data with respect to consciousness might tell us about various explanations of quantum mechanics. I (...)
