Nelson began using random event generator (REG) technology in the field to study effects of special states of group consciousness. [ 7 ] In an extension of the laboratory research utilizing hardware Random Event Generators (REG) [ 8 ] called FieldREG, investigators examined the outputs of REGs in the field before, during and after highly ...
McFadden's view of free will is deterministic. Neurons generate patterns in the EM field, which in turn modulate the firing of particular neurons. There is only conscious agency in the sense that the field or its download to neurons is conscious, but the processes of the brain themselves are driven by deterministic electromagnetic interactions.
I attended the Buttonwood Gathering in New York, hosted by The Economist -- a fantastic meeting of the minds, with talks given by David Einhorn, Larry Summers, Robert Rubin, Mohamed El-Erian, and ...
While a monkey is used as a mechanism for the thought experiment, it would be unlikely to ever write Hamlet, according to researchers.. The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare.
In technology-assisted SDI, participants use software to generate a random sequence of words that they will imagine a configurable number of seconds (usually 5–10 seconds) apart. [9] Sequences of words may be delivered through text-to-speech technology. [9] In self-directed SDI, participants think of a word between 5-12 letters.
Blockhead is a theoretical computer system invented as part of a thought experiment by philosopher Ned Block, which appeared in a paper titled "Psychologism and Behaviorism". Block did not personally name the computer in the paper.

Physicists use the Boltzmann brain thought experiment as a reductio ad absurdum argument for evaluating competing scientific theories. In contrast to brain in a vat thought experiments, which are about perception and thought, Boltzmann brains are used in cosmology to test our assumptions about thermodynamics and the development of the universe.
