The potential role of consciousness in the collapse of random physical systems: a quantitative biophysical investigation of cognitive intention
Decades of research into the anomalous phenomenon of consciousness-correlated collapse of random systems has supported the contention that human intention appears capable of eliciting significant deviations within these external systems. The following series of experiments was conducted in order to identify potential physical factors which might play a role in the consciousness-correlated effects on a random event generator device. Transcerebral application of a specific physiologically-patterned electromagnetic field was found to enhance the occurrence of this consciousness-mediated interaction. Furthermore, immersing the test area in electromagnetic ‘noise’ appears to interfere with the apparent effects of intention. Subsequent analyses were conducted in order to examine the potential contributions of gravitational sources on this phenomenon. Cerebral biophoton emission was also examined which determined that biophotons are related to the output of a proximal random event generator within both time and frequency domains. This initial series of experiments revealed a seemingly integral temporal component in this form of experiment which occurs at approximately 2 minutes into the test phase. Finally, space weather factors were examined for potential associations with the random event generator phenomenon which revealed a number of significant relationships that may contribute to this process. An artificial neural network was then constructed in order to predict values of geomagnetic activity for future experiments. These results may be among the first to quantitatively identify the probable energies and physical parameters associated with successful consciousness-mediated non-local interaction with an external system.Master of Arts (MA) in Human Developmen
Biometeorology: review and analysis with regard to traumatic brain Injury acquisition in professional football, as well as traditional and digital economic markets
This research explores Biometeorology, which is the relationship between the
environment and human behavior. Previous research has indicated that meteorological events
such as lunar cycles, solar activity, temperature, and humidity have been extensively documented
to affect human psychophysiology through systemic variation. The purpose of this document is
to explore the effects of environmental factors on typical everyday aggregate behaviors in
distinct, unique and separate investigations that relate to participation in sporting events and
economic activities in order to determine if these naturally occurring influences are genuine. For
example, local weather related and extra-terrestrial phenomena were collected during timestamped Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) acquisition in the National Football league (NFL) for 645
concussed players from 2012-2015. Components of the Earth’s geomagnetic field were also
documented in relation to global search tendencies for highly emotional states in addition to
stock market indices. Furthermore, solar and lunar cycles were recorded during the monumental
rise in the cryptocurrency market in order to identify if these cyclical background patterns
systemically altered interest in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) or influenced their price
index in-and-of-itself. The results indicate that intrinsic capacities of the game of football
inherently impacted injury severity and return to play considerations. TBI’s did however, vary as
a function of geo-coordination and were most pronounced in the Northwest U.S. Injury severity
was also found to be greatest during increased geomagnetic intensities. Lunar contributions also
appeared to play a central role in injury acquisition insofar as TBI player height weight and
injury severity were predicted by solar and geomagnetic variables of interest during the full
moon. Aggregate search behavior on the Internet of Things (IoT) was found to correlate with
magnetic variability, geomagnetic intensity as well as Dow Jones price movement and trading
volume. Finally, traditional technical analysis indicators closely followed cryptocurrency price. However, Bitcoins Aroon up and down was found to cycle with the Moon, while Ethereum’s
Heiken Ashi displayed a relationship with the Sun. Internet interest in Ethereum was found to
have significant associations with the Earth’s geomagnetic field, the Sun and the Moon which
was enhanced during specific alignments of these heavenly bodies. In summary, seemingly
random events and aggregate group behaviors are intimately associated with external
interconnected dynamics.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Human Studie
Regulating Irrational Exuberance and Anxiety in Securities Markets
This paper analyzes the regulatory implications of irrational exuberance and anxiety in securities markets. U.S. federal securities laws mandate the disclosure of certain information, but regulate only the cognitive form and content of that information. An important and unstudied question is how to regulate securities markets where some investors respond not only cognitively to the form and content of information, but also emotionally to the form and content of information. This paper investigates that question when some investors feel exuberance or anxiety that is unjustified by cognitive processing of the available information. This paper develops the implications for mandatory securities disclosure of irrational exuberance and anxiety
