The mind lamp

"The Mind Lamp" is a light-emitting diode lamp that changes its color between white,
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple and magenta.
The American manufacturing company Psyleron claims that the desired shade,
after some training, a person can cause an effort of will.

The most surprising is the principle of action, which is based on probability.
quantum electron tunneling and simple statistical calculations,
that is, no magic, although the result is ambiguous for strict science.
But as a funny geeky gift is fine :)



In fact, there are already serial board games with mind reading .
And laboratory experiments are not considered. Yes, but there is only one difference.
In all previous examples, some kind of brain fixation technology is used.
processes (biocurrents, blood flow in the cortex, and so on): EEG sensors, magnetic
tomography or other types of scanners. Instrument readings are interpreted by computer
and then - the matter of technology. This is what is now called "reading of thought."

But in “Mind Lamp” there is nothing like that. No brainwave sensors are analyzing,
No chips thought "patterns" do not decipher. Lamp itself
it is designed so that only “thought” can influence its work (according to the authors' idea).

Lamp history

It all began with relatively simple experiments in the 80s, in which scientists tried to identify
the effect of thought on material objects. And seemingly revealed, although the statement
this may cause outrage and mistrust on the part of adherents of "strict science".
In principle, this also causes only a smile at me :)

To test this, scientists at Princeton built a specific pinball. Or rather,
This unit was called the "Random Mechanical Cascade" (Random Mechanical Cascade).
Nine thousand plastic balls spilled on top of a matrix of 330 rods,
which made the balls bounce right and left. Down below this set
19 baskets were placed in which all the balls fell.

Since after a ball falls exactly on the rod, the probability of its rebound to the right and
to the left is 50%, after passing several rows each ball fell into that
or another basket completely unpredictable way. But that - one. And for thousands
balls, in general, the laws of the theory of probability already existed: the entire population
distributed among the baskets by Gaussians.



But here an observer was introduced into the experiment, who looks at the cascade and mentally wants to hit
balls rather to the right than to the left (or, on the contrary, to the left rather than the right). And what?

After conducting 3393 experiments with 25 observers, Princeton scientists found that the curves
the distribution of the balls does indeed shift, although not always very little. But the shift
this, as shown by rigorous calculations, was still more substantial than it could follow
from "pure chance".

In the following experiments, "specialists" from Princeton used random generators
events based on quantum electron tunneling. This process carries
probabilistic in nature and therefore serves as a basic source of "uncertainty"
in a special electronic circuit, that is, "first-class" white noise, translatable
scheme in a set of completely random numbers.

According to science, the probability of tunneling constantly fluctuates around the value of 0.5,
but in practice, it turned out that the experimenter’s mental desire to shift the curve
up or down corrected chaotic tunneling processes in one direction or another,
and again by an amount that exceeded the possible shift “by sheer chance”.





How did the communication between the experimenter’s brain and the quantum
electron tunneling - Princeton scientists have not figured out. Modestly
characterizing this phenomenon as “unknown interaction”, the authors of the experiments
let's move on.

One can only dreamily argue that a certain transformation of information
in the form of signals in neurons it affects, say, entropy in a given area
space, and this influence, in turn, slightly changes the probability of random
processes described by quantum laws.

At the moment, it is believed that the asymmetry of the results shows
the properties of the microworld itself, and in the macrocosm this difference is simply smoothed out,
although this does not explain the results of the experiment with balls.

Lamp description

Based on these experiments, the “Mind Lamp” was invented.
