The Global Consciousness Project Meaningful Correlations in Random Data

The Global Consciousness Project could form the basis for an interesting arts project, the site includes 'EEG tapestries', with data gathered at the time of major traumas, earthquakes, train crashes etc and tries to prove a linked consciousness and impact on random number generation...

Subtle interactions link us with each other and the Earth

"When human consciousness becomes coherent and synchronized, the behavior of random systems may change. Quantum event based random number generators (RNGs) produce completely unpredictable sequences of zeroes and ones. But when a great event synchronizes the feelings of millions of people, our network of RNGs becomes subtly structured. The probability is less than one in a billion that the effect is due to chance. The evidence suggests an emerging noosphere, or the unifying field of consciousness described by sages in all cultures.

The Global Consciousness Project is an international, multidisciplinary collaboration of scientists and engineers. We collect data continuously from a global network of physical random number generators located in 70 host sites around the world. The data are transmitted to a central archive which now contains more than 12 years of random data in parallel sequences of synchronized 200-bit trials every second"
