Im a researcher (experimental physics) with interest in exotic fields.
I will launch soon a personal project I have been developing in the last 3 years: openMMIND project (open-source Man-to-Machine Interaction based on raNDom phenomena measurement), which comprises an open platform for serious scientific research, collaboration, data sharing and possibly useful tools to take advantage from telekinesis, for everyone.
The first phase of the project consists in a simple video game that reads true random numbers generated by hardware in modern intel CPUs. In this way, the player might become immersed in the game influencing it through the random number generator. Since all data is saved in a txt in real time, anomalies in the stream of random numbers could be later investigated. Machine learning techniques might unveil subtle patterns hidden in data.
I will explain better this project soon, but now I need a few volunteers to test the software, allowing me to make some preliminary analyses on their data to see if there any bug in the code. If you have a Windows computer (it might also work in a virtual machine) with an Intel CPU newer than 2012 please see the post below with more information.
here is the information you need to test the software: The game is based on the classic snake, but here some food are bombs, which may explode based on the RNG output. Each gaming session will last approximately 5 min (depending on your gaming skills and chosen settings). The application will close by itself when the session ends, you SHOUD NOT end it.
To start the game run openMMIND_sk.exe You can opt for 3 different speed levels, you must choose the one that is more comfortable for you, in such way you lose mostly because of the explosions rather than the collisions. The default is moderate. There are 2 different mods, telekinesis and precognition, in the first you start immediately disarming the bomb, in the second you need to press R to start. Chose the one you prefer.
To move the snake, you can use your keyboard arrows, or W A S D, or I J K L. Data is saved in the data folder. You can open the txt files and see your data if you want, but you CANNOT modify or delete anything, except in the proper field (observations and email). If for some reason the application is closed before the session end, do not delete the respective data file.
There is encrypted data in txt files to ensure no files are deleted or modified. You should perform at least 30 sessions (30 txt files), then send me the data folder (zipped) for my e-mail: openmmind.carlos@gmail.com
Since this project is open source, the code of the application will be public when launched. However, for the beta program, if you are afraid that the application contains a virus you may check it with your antivirus, or in a virus checking service like virustotal.com
