A series of remote action experiments were performed in sense shielded conditions with paired subjects. One pair has previously shown statistical significant coincidences of the time of their apparent motions.
In this study, two other subjects who had trained in many kinds of martial arts as a pair for 40 years performed a remote action in an experiment. They had mainly trained in a martial art that lets a person foresee an attack from an attacker. The experiment was performed in Rooms 201, 202 (central control room) and 203 for Various Simultaneous Measurements in the Multipurpose Facility at NIRS on March 30-31, 2000. In the experiment, the subjects were placed in separate rooms with normal communication deprivation. One of them acted as a sender (male, 58 years old) who was seated in Room 201and the other acted as a receiver (male, 64 years old) who was seated in an electromagnetic shielding cage in Room 203.
The experiment was designed on double blinded and randomized conditions. The start and the end time of the trial was announced automatically to subjects by the multistem stimulator which was in the central control room. Before the experiment, the specific sending time was set by a pseudo random number generation program and prepared in a file by someone who did not participate in the experiment. After seeing a light signal to send, the sender attempted to give "remote influence" only once to the receiver in a short time. And as soon as the sender emitted "qi" and the receiver felt it, each pushed an event marker switch.
One trial was 80 seconds and was performed with a 10-second stand-by before the next one. Three continuous trials made one run (260 seconds). A break and feedback of results of the experiment were given between runs, and subjects could talk about how to do better.
Physiological changes of the receiver were measured such as skin surface temperature of the left laogong (middle of the palm), photoplethysmogram (PPG), respiration (Resp), electrodermal activity (EDA), microvibrations (MV) and brain waves (EEG).
The receiver's skin temperature was analyzed to find if there is any change when the sender attempted to give "remote influence" to the receiver. For the period of 10 seconds before and after sending time, the average temperature was analyzed and is shown in Fig.11. It can be seen that the average temperature of 22 trials changes from increasing to constant one second before the sending time. The difference of average temperature between 2 seconds before and after that time is statistically significant and 1% or less.
In conclusion, a significant difference of average temperature change was observed 1 second before the sending time in the period of [±2.0] seconds. It was possible to consider that this was an expression of the characteristics of this martial art that trains foreseeing of a partner's attack sign.
