A Hieronymus machine is any of the patented radionics devices invented by electrical engineer Thomas Galen Hieronymus (21 November 1895 – 21 February 1988). [1] Hieronymus received a U.S. Patent for his invention in 1949, which was described in the patent application title as a device for "detection of emanations from materials and measurement of the volumes thereof".
In American science fiction of the 1950s and '60s, psionics was a proposed discipline that applied principles of engineering (especially electronics) to the study (and employment) of paranormal or psychic phenomena, such as extrasensory perception, telepathy and psychokinesis. [1]
Albert Abrams (1863–1924), Photo c. 1900 Radionic instruments. Radionics [1] —also called electromagnetic therapy (EMT) and the Abrams method—is a form of alternative medicine that claims that disease can be diagnosed and treated by applying electromagnetic radiation (EMR), such as radio waves, to the body from an electrically powered device.

The "Hieronymus" in the book is a reference to St. Jerome; in the book's invented history, some of his followers drifted into occult sciences and built the Hieronymus Machine "many centuries ago in a monastery in Spain". [2] Later, though, it was stated to be built by another Hieronymus c. 1000 AD, centuries after the actual St. Jerome. [3]
Symbolic machine learning was applied to learning concepts, rules, heuristics, and problem-solving. Approaches, other than those above, include: Learning from instruction or advice—i.e., taking human instruction, posed as advice, and determining how to operationalize it in specific situations.
Physics-informed neural networks for solving Navier–Stokes equations. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), [1] also referred to as Theory-Trained Neural Networks (TTNs), [2] are a type of universal function approximators that can embed the knowledge of any physical laws that govern a given data-set in the learning process, and can be described by partial differential equations (PDEs).
Joseph Banks Rhine (September 29, 1895 – February 20, 1980), usually known as J. B. Rhine, was an American botanist who founded parapsychology as a branch of psychology, founding the parapsychology lab at Duke University, the Journal of Parapsychology, the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man, and the Parapsychological Association.
Mind machine devices are legally available throughout the United States from many sources. [10] With some exceptions, [12] these devices commonly do not have FDA approval for medical applications in the US. They have been found by a U.S. district court to be Class III medical devices, and consequentially require FDA pre-market approval for all ...
