2. But this of course has nothing to do with an operator s ability to produce anomalous REG effects in the first place There may be an additional concern related to the experimenter s consciousness interfering with the REG This may be a real phenomenon but it seems that intention is the deciding factor In the same way that an REG will behave like a truly random device when no person is intending to affect it so the experimenter s consciousness should not affect an experimental REG if the experimenter does not intend to What are Mean P Values and Z Scores These standard statistical metrics relate experimental results to those expected by chance and the magnitude of this deviation if any Specifically mean is the sum of all the values in a set of data divided by the number of values in the data set Z score relates the distance an experimental outcome falls from the mean in standard deviations 90 In the context of REG research Mean indicates the consciousness induced deviation from the expected Mean scenario i e without an operator present and the related z score measures this in standard deviations A p value represents the probability that the result would occur by chance given that there is no effect by an operator How can I be sure that consciousness is the agent and not some other factor such as electromagnetic interference or temperature fluctuations This was one of the primary initial concerns of
