Calibration

How did they calibrated these devices? I mean, when designing a receiver for some signal, it is necessary to first measure its output in a signal-free environment, and then measure its output step by step, gradually increasing the signal. How did they do that? Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 11:11, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

:This type of analysis and discussion is precisely what is needed to support this article. Secondary sources commenting on the experiments are appropriate sources not the primary source of the studies themselves. - - MrBill3 (talk) 18:52, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Removing Tags

Removing the following tags upon review:

This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2009)

-Seems to be plenty now.

This article relies on references to primary sources. (September 2009)

- Seems a good mix now.

The neutrality of this article is disputed. (March 2012)

- I consider myself neutral on this topic and upon reading I feel there is fair weight for both sides.

If you wish to add any of these tags back please explain here first, I have the page watched and will be happy to respond.

:I have added inline tags to illustrate where the article extensively relies on primary sources. See Wikipedia:PSTS#Primary.2C_secondary_and_tertiary_sources where it is clearly explained that single study is a primary source for itself. Other studies providing replication, meta analyses or published analyses are the needed appropriate secondary sources for much of the material in this article. Basic descriptions of GCP can be sourced to themselves but details of studies need to be reported on by secondary sources.

:In addition most of the material is self published, some refer to journals but the link provided is not to the journal but the GCP website. If these articles were published full citations for the journals are needed (volume, issue, date, page number). Some of the critical material seems to be self published material also. I have tagged that too.

:What is needed is for this article to rely primarily on secondary sources that have found the GCP notable enough to produce detailed discussion of its activities. - - MrBill3 (talk) 18:49, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Pareidolia or Apophenia?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia

Which best describes this phenomenon, pareidolia or apophenia? I think the latter.

:Please excuse my saying that I can't see how either can apply. This is an experiment carried out by scientific methods. By the way, I'm enjoying a book by Craig Weller called Psi Wars that throws an interesting light on what is happening here. --Brian Josephson (talk) 19:32, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Meaning of REG not explained

Random Number Generator, RNG? I don't get it. 93.241.211.7 (talk) 07:16, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

:It means Random Event Generator, but you are right - that isn't stated anywhere in the article. I'll add it in now NoSlacking (talk) 05:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
