Twitter's First Scientific Study
Can some people correctly identify a place using mind power alone?
Psychologist Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire, UK, wants to find out, and New Scientist readers can help.
During each day of the study, Richard Wiseman will travel to a randomly selected location within the UK. Once there, he will send a tweet asking participants to tweet their own thoughts concerning the nature of the location.
Twenty minutes later, he will send another tweet directing participants to a website where they can choose between photographs of five possible locations. If more participants guess correctly than can be accounted for by chance, that will support the existence of extrasensory perception.
All you have to take part is to follow Richard Wiseman on Twitter and respond to his tweets at 3pm BST (10am EST) each day. The formal trials will begin on Tuesday 2 June, but there will be an informal trial on Monday 1 June to make sure everything works as it should.
