REG Intention Experiments

Light and Mind REG Intro Video
The Houston, Texas chapter of the Institute of Noetic Sciences purchased a Psyleron Random Events Generator to conduct experiments in consciousness - to see if "mind over matter" is something measurable.
My four minute intro video shows a quick field test - a husband and wife attempting to influence the REG machine's random output (sorry the video camera wasn't zoomed in while the event took place - in future tests we'll be sure to get the camera closer to the computer screen!) We were standing behind and just to the right of the camera, and using our thoughts to "will" the line to move down. Similar results were obtained in other beginning "tests" with the machine - as we had fun getting acquainted with the device.
This group on the Intention Experiment site is for interested people all around the world to join in when we do group REG experiments. We'll announce an exact time and give you more instructions. We aren't sure how distance will effect this small REG unit, but the more people who participate the better.
The Psyleron device was developed after 28 years of research in the PEAR labs at Princeton University. It's calibrated and suitable for scientific research. Here is a link to the Psyleron website for a quick Psyleron Overview
Here's what Psyleron says about the REG machine:
"What is a REG?
REG stands for Random Event Generator. It is a device used in the scientific study of consciousness-related phenomena, particularly because mind-matter effects have often been observed in its data, and because it makes statistical calculations very straight-forward. It is also an electronic device, which allows it to be interfaced with computers, for computerized applications and data collection.
It is useful to think of the REG as an electronic coin flipper. Just as a flipped coin will land in a random heads or tails position, so will the REG produce a random binary outcome—although instead of heads or tails, it produces a 1 or a 0. Each 1 or 0 is referred to as an event; hence Random Event Generator. Unlike a coin flipper, however, the REG is a quantum mechanical device: not affected by normal external physical forces, and fundamentally random.
REGs are used for studying consciousness-related phenomena because all of these factors make them superior to other devices or methods. Their true randomness eliminates the concern that experimental outcomes might be predicted, instead of effected by consciousness. Their binary nature allows users to deal with known statistical distributions, and to measure any "anomalous" change in the distribution with simple statistical techniques. Results from trials can be seen in real-time with computers, then stored and graphed in many different ways.
How Does it Work?
The Psyleron REG-1 measures quantum events. According to modern physics, it is fundamentally impossible to predict the outcome of quantum events, even with knowledge of past outcomes. While the REG-1 does output non-quantum 1s and 0s, these are representations of quantum events, extrapolated by quantum tunneling into binary outcomes. So when the output of a REG-1 is examined statistically, these binary events are seen to behave in perfectly random ways, with an equal ratio of 1s to 0s. In other words, the REG is an extremely refined and reliable scientific tool.
The mind, however, seems able to affect the outcome of the Random Event Generator. As rigorously demonstrated by twenty-eight years of Princeton studies, when a person or persons attempt to influence the REG to produce more 1s or 0s, by "willpower" alone they are able to achieve such an effect. A statistically significant increase in 1s or 0s is observed, generally according to their intent.
The mechanism by which this works is still unknown, though it has been the subject of speculation. Some contend that quantum mechanics can explain the phenomenon; others that a more complicated and less understood process is occurring. In any case, what's at issue is nothing less than the nature of reality, and the role of consciousness within it."
