I remember reading a while back in the FAQ's of psipog.net that these were valid tests, so I decided to go for them a gain. Now I have quite an interesting experience with it IMO.

I was working with the bell curve one as the topic title suggests
(http://www.fourmilab.ch/rpkp/experiments/bellcurve/)
I was using the strategy I had used a while back to try and influnence the bit stream, by focusing on "1" as that was my intended hit. At first I was seeing some good results that I thought I would take screens on to possibly show here.

Fig 1: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/XenoHunter/Bellcurve1.jpg

Well in order to show the screen I had to save it first, so I had opened up paint and had minimized the RPK window. As I was pasting it and preparing to save, I noticed a weird consistent pressure in my head, that seemed to envelop my brain. Out of pure curiosity I opened the RPK window back up and low and behold, my 1 hit rate had shot off the chart.

Im wondering if anyone else here has had similar experiences. Im going to try to run a recorded test and see if I can get similar results so I can see the graph they give. Oh and I am sorry if this was not the correct place to post this Smile

EDIT: After doing a recorded experiment(with average results) I found something out. 1 isnt left, 0 is. My guess is that my brain had focused on 1=left so I must have somehow influenced the 0 but stream while assuming with my concious mind that it was the "1" bit stream I had been getting succses in.

I've lost my edge in Micro-Psychokinesis, need to practice again.

I dont even know wether to truly consider that "good", as I have never had other peoples results to compare it to. And I dont really consider myself that good in Micro PK either.

EDIT: Ive also noticed I cant seem to train my mind to the 1=right, 0=left. I guess I could stick with what works and interperet 1 as left, but id rather do it right Smile Oh well, I guess I have to build myself up to it.

I am about to do this expirement a few times, but let me first say O_O... I started looking at the first paragraph, kinda of understanding what to do. I decided to try and influence the bell curve at the left first, and I was amazed at how well I seemed to be able to control it. (I now see where you got the screenshots by the way) At first I thought that that wasn't randomly generated and was just a looping image. I when I was about to quit and read more of what it said, it even scrolled to even more of the graph Very Happy

I just ran the demo experiment and I was still doing extremely well, I didnt let it go past the right side and after a while I was able to get it to start progressing even more to the left. I stopped doing it so I could finish typing this message Smile. This is the first time I've done, or even heard, of this experiment.


UPDATE: I was just trying to make the same bell curve mentioned in the first paragraph. I decided I was going to make it go to the right this time. I was having a little bit more trouble, but I was doing it. I didn't have it very far past the middle when I finished, but when I switched tabs on my window I had the same page open and it was in the middle of the next screen Very Happy. I kinda just gawked at it for a second and then closed it Razz.

yeah. I came across this when i was still really skeptical about PK. So I started and it steadily going to the left. I was not really impressed. I thought "well, it's probably jsut fixed to make you think you can do it." INSTANTLY it droped to the right, all the way to the right. I was in shock!! thats when i became a full fledged psion. lol I like those things cause when your in dout they help boost confidence that it is real. What is the link?? I lost it, and would like to try agian

Its ok, we all have moments like that Smile
But I can see how you missed it, due to the parentheses, it doesnt hyperlink it.

I like working with the bell curve, it gives the most direct feedback IMO

Edit: I took some pics with my camera, I got pretty far on the graph with the "1" bit's.

On the third pic, I almost got it to an even narrower line. Out of curiosity, whats the farthest all have you gotten? At least an approximation anyway.

very nice Smile

Ill take pictures of my results later tonight when im more relaxed, I can't seem to do it very well right now Sad. When I concentrate on it it goes haywire, I can't control which way it goes Razz, but when I don't conecentrate on it It stays pretty close to the center. When I decided that I just couldn't do it at all, It went back to an even struggle between left and right >_<... So then once I realized that I could kind of control it it started working a little bit again Smile.

I couldn't get it at all the other night, my mind was'nt very relaxed, no matter how hard I tried. I am getting some results tonight though. I might actually post some screenshots tonight even Smile. Sometimes it seems that it is a lot easier to make the bar go one way than the other. Like, I'll try pushing the bar to the right and I'm getting little results, but then I try the other way and it goes half way across the screen. Other times it doesn't matter which way I go.

hey, I was trying the pendulum thing on there, after reading this, and then reading the feeding your sub-c happiness thread. So I was listening to music, and getting sorta hyped and then I told the pendulum to do wide swings then looked at my psi wheel and started trying to make it move as a distraction...all of the sudden it spins which i lost quickly, but then I glance at the pendulum. It was flying left and right off the screen...it was cool. My conclusion... music helps if you like it. maybe relax and such.

Oh man. I had some sweet scores on that thing.

I loved the clock one, though.

That one was fun to manipulate.

Edit: Uh, dude? I think the real test's farther down on the page. The one at the top edge of the page is just a random thingy.

They are both real -_- If you read my first post in this thread the first one I manuipulating was the bell curve at the top of the page, I thought it wasn't the actually thing, just a looping image, but I tried it anyway and it worked Smile.
