Research brief

A global experiment needs curiosity and restraint.

PSIGames is inspired by peer-reviewed psi, remote-viewing, telepathy, and precognition research. The app is designed around blind targets, delayed reveal, chance baselines, and visible caveats because the field is controversial and replication is the point.

Remote-viewing protocols entered mainstream journals.

Targ and Puthoff published sensory-shielded information-transfer experiments in Nature in 1974. PSIGames treats that work as a historical protocol reference, not as settled proof.

Ganzfeld telepathy remains one of the central psi paradigms.

Free-response and Ganzfeld studies shaped modern sender-receiver protocols. Meta-analyses report positive effects, while critics emphasize file-drawer, methodology, and replication concerns.

Precognition research triggered useful replication pressure.

Bem reported anomalous retroactive effects in 2011. Subsequent failures to replicate and Bayesian critiques are part of the reason PSIGames keeps claims narrow and logs protocol details.

Presentiment research motivates pre-registered style logs.

Mossbridge, Tressoldi, and Utts reviewed predictive physiological anticipation studies. The topic is controversial, so the app reports hit rates, confidence, and chance baselines rather than certainty.

Sensory leakage is the failure mode to design against.

The strongest skeptical critiques of remote-viewing work focus on cues, leakage, judging bias, and flexible analysis. PSIGames starts every trial with a blind code and delayed target reveal.

What the game measuresForced-choice hits, written impressions, confidence, timing, and repeated signal stability against a fixed chance baseline.
What remains openWhether above-chance results survive larger samples, stricter controls, independent replication, and better preregistration.
What we will not claimNo diagnosis, no psychic certification, no medical or financial advice, and no claim that one good score proves anything paranormal.
