About
The LMU Micro-PK Project
This project investigates the relationship between mind and matter by studying observational effects on quantum state reductions. Located at LMU Munich, the project is conducted under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Markus Maier and Dr. Moritz Dechamps.
Micro-Psychokinesis
The studies within this project utilize a paradigm known as Micro-Psychokinesis (Micro-PK). Micro-PK refers to the mental influence on inanimate, probabilistic systems, such as quantum random number generators (qRNGs), with effects detectable through statistical means (Varvoglis & Bancel, 2015).
The Lab Report
This website provides a continuously updated overview of all Micro-PK experiments conducted at the lab, along with their results. This initiative aims to counteract biases associated with selective publication of results (see e.g., Rothstein et al., 2005) by promoting transparency and reproducibility.
For each study, the main results (including distinctions between experimental and control conditions where applicable) and outcomes of the ‘change of evidence’ analyses are presented. Additionally, the report offers meta-analytical assessments of both conventional effect measures and change of evidence measures alongside a discussion of the results.
Included Studies
This report includes all studies conducted at the LMU Lab that explore a general and universal Micro-PK effect. Excluded are case studies of individuals or studies on related psi effects such as precognition. Detailed information on each study, along with relevant data and resources, can be found in the experiments section.
Versions
The report is regularly updated to include new studies and results. The current version includes all studies conducted from the beginning of the project in 2016 until 04 May 2020.
