I believe that Dean made a sophisticated and successful attempt for sorting the noise during the transition to the new millennium (you may check that the geomagnetic activity was very intense during this time). I followed the steps of Dean (not in detail) for a superposed epoch analysis around the minute of culmination of the Galactic Center(GC)in UTC for EGGs under this condition during the extreme geomagnetic calm period of May 5,1999. I assumed (1) that the extraordinary low in geomagnetic fluctuations during this day could increase any hypothetical "anomalous" sideral signal affecting the REGs working during the times of culmination of the GC, (2)that any global/local consciousness effects during the intervals around GC culmination(+/-30 min)in this day were negligible, (3)that in tone with experimentally observed reduction of Anomalous Cognition Effect Sizes under GC culmination this would be reflected in physical systems as a reduction in noise or entropy, and (4) reduced entropy can be detected as a reduction in the average of randon events recorded each minute around the minute of GC culmination. To search for these reductions, I made the following preliminary steps: a)Download all per-minute raw data for EGGs 100,102, 103,107 and 1005 around +/-30 minutes of the times (minutes) of GC culmination. b)Calculate the standard deviation across EGGs (SDAE) for each of these raw values, per minute. c)Create 5 one-hour blocks of raw values per minute, each centered on the minute of GC culmination in each EGG's geographical longitude. d)Create a superposed epoch analysis by overlaying the 5 blocks of data. e)Calculate the total standard deviation across the 60 minutes of blocked averaged data across the EGGs, design these values TSD. f)Calculate the Variability Range of each average minute across EGGs in the superposed epoch analysis dividing each SDAE by the total TSD.These values are plotted in the figure "Range of Variability of the Superposed Epoch Analysis(5/11/99)" g)Make standard normal deviates (z scores) based on the total average per minute and the observed averaged across EGGs per minute. These values are plotted in the figure "Superposed Epoch Analysis(5/11/99)". From the resulting z-scores, the odds against chance (one tailed) are not significant and are NOT showed. NOTE: It is interesting to note that for May 11, 1999 the z scores for one minute before GC culmination are significant for EGG 102(Z=-3.15, p(one tailed)<0.0008) and are showed in the two figures named "Random Events /min(EGG102/5/99)"(z plot and odds against chance respectively). Similarly for EGG 100 we have for one minute before GC culmination: Z=-2.09, p(one tailed) <0.0183 and for EGG 1005 (one minute before GC culmination): Z=-1.75, p(one tailed)< 0.0401. There is another significant z-score in the direction expected and in another minute in the 60 minute interval used in each case and for this reason the correspondent figures are not showed. Please let me know of any questions about these analyses. With my best regards, Juan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
