Physical Measurement of Episodes of Focused Group Energy

Episodes of Focused Group Energy (FGE) occur when two or more people are focused on some objective and become coherently attuned to that focus. Most people have experienced this phenomenon at one time or an- other when everybody was a on the same wavelength.o Anecdotal episodes of this phenomenon have been reported in business meetings, in sporting events, in concerts and in prayer and healing. Many people are quite sensitive to this phenomenon; and when people are informed about it, they become more sen- sitive to it. Focused Group Energy episodes cannot be scheduled. However, they are more likely to occur in situations where intense group focus is required. We have conducted a series of experiments to measure FGE episodes physically (objective measurements) as well as having sensitive participants simultane- ously recording the episodes (subjective measurements). The meetings were chosen because of previous reports of intense FGE activities by sensitive par- ticipants. A field deployable Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Random Number Generator (FieldRNG) was used to monitor the space in which these meetings took place before, during, and after the episodes. The FieldRNG is used to detect if the random number sequence is entrained by the FGE episode to behave non-randomly. We have conducted eleven such experiments to date with consistent, repeat- able results. After FGE episodes have been reported and recorded by sensitive participants, the FieldRNG results were compared after the fact and consis- tently were greater than two and sometimes three standard deviations from the mean for the whole time period of the episode (some lasted for hours). Other time periods where no FGE occurs are also examined to determine if there are false positive excursions in the data. A true positive case is counted only if the FieldRNG results are over the two sigma level for the duration of the episode for both the objective measurement and simultaneous subjective reports.
