Hi all,
Back in 2010 the article "Is this evidence that we can see the future?" appeared in the New Scientist. Essentially this is an explanation of the hypothesis that the human mind is able to experience the effect before the cause.
One such noted experiment was as follows:
'In one experiment, students were shown a list of words and then asked to recall words from it, after which they were told to type words that were randomly selected from the same list. Spookily, the students were better at recalling words that they would later type.'
I'd like to see the actual statistical results for this, which would help to make things more clear, but apparently peer reviews have been unable to find flaws in the methodologies (although one actual replication of the experiments seemed inconclusive).
Has this topic been picked up again lately, and whats the current conscensus? I find it hard to get to grips with personally.
