i don't know, i see pics of downswings in the reg thread that are far more unlikely. how many studies of that type were made and not published? a few hundred?

i read like half the study in shock while sleepy and they said there would need to be something like 46 unpublished studies for every study done (i think there were nine) with null results to discredit the significance of the overall results

Depends what level of significance they want, someone said the study had a 1% chance of being down to random chance iirc?

In real science we tend to want 5 or 6 orders of magnitude better than that before we say something is "proved"

that one particular study individually had a 1% error rate yes, but there were several other studies noted in this article that all had similarly low error rates

love how you used the term "real science", basically my stubborn conservative approach to those fields, although you probably didn't mean it that way

another question: would that mean that in a dice game where participants guess the number which is going to fall the success of each player is dependent on his precognitive detection skills?

also, wouldn't it turn the whole pokerworld upside down? like all those "feel" players are supported in their mentality, that they call for wrong odds because they feel their flush is going to hit. maybe they just have good precognitive detection skills again.

no, it basically says nothing about being able to predict things like that because they're "neutral" events. the study (as far as i've read) is arguing that precognition applies positively to strong erotic stimuli and and adversely to strong negative stimuli.

This thread has some interesting discussion about this kind of stuff:

If it's true (and it's still highly likely to not be true), why couldn't this be gamed? Have a friend go to the casino with you. Have him put an erotic image to your left after the roulette wheel lands on red, and on the right after the roulette wheel lands on black. Ask people to predict which side the picture will be on. Bet accordingly. Profit.

It was obv. tongue in cheek, but my point still stands:

As the errors on QM are currently equivalent to guessing the number of hairs placed WIDTHWAYS it would take to cross the atlantic to +/- 1 hair's width, supporters of "cognitive prcognition" are going to have to get many orders of magnitude before people start abandoning our current descrptions of physical reality.

How likely something is doesn't matter if it means something much, much, much more likely isn't true.
