... Additionally, a particularly intriguing presentation of biophotons in association with humans cannot be missed: The biophoton intensity seems to be modulated by intention or human interaction during healing or other various kinds of bioenergy practices (Nakamura et al., 2000;Haraguchi et al., 2001;Joines et al., 2012;Rubik & Jabs, 2017). Links have also been suggested between biophotons and observations that are difficult to measure and quantify, including consciousness (Rahnama et al., 2011), mind-matter manipulation (Caswell et al., 2014;Pederzoli et al., 2017), and paranormal phenomena at the moment of death (Persinger & St-Pierre, 2011;Reddy, 2016). One could argue that an experimental control that appears common to all these phenomena is the involvement of human factors, which at the physical level will reside in the engagement of neuronal activities, no matter whether autonomic or intentional. ...
Biophoton emission remains controversial. The photo-genic origin of biophoton has been attributed to the oxidative stress or free radical production. However, there are considerable gaps in quantitative understanding of biophoton emission. I propose an analytical hypothesis for interpreting a few patterns of steady-state biophoton emission of human, including the dependency on age, the diurnal variation, and the geometric asymmetry associated with serious asymmetrical pathological conditions. The hypothesis is based on an alternative form of energy state, termed vivo-nergy, which is associated with only metabolically active organisms that are also under neuronal control. The hypothesis projects a decrease of the vivo-nergy in human during growth beyond puberty. The hypothesis also proposes a modification of the vivo-nergy by the phases of systematic or homeostatic physiology. The hypothesis further postulates that the deviation of the physiology-modified vivo-nergy from the pre-puberty level is deteriorated by acquired organ-specific pathological conditions. A temporal differential change of vivo-nergy is hypothesized to proportionally modulate oxidative stress that functions as the physical source of biophoton emission. The resulted steady-state diffusion of the photon emitted from a photo-genic source in a human geometry simplified as a homogeneous spherical domain is modeled by photon diffusion principles incorporating an extrapolated zero-boundary condition. The age and systematic physiology combined determines the intensity of the centered physiological steady-state photo-genic source. An acquired pathology sets both the intensity and the off-center position of the pathological steady-state photo-genic source. When the age-commemorated, physiology-commanded, and pathology-controlled modifications of the steady-state photo-genetic sources are implemented in the photon diffusion model, the photon fluence rate at the surface of the human-representing spherical domain reveals the patterns on age, the temporal variation corresponding to systematic physiology, and the geometric asymmetry associated with significant asymmetric pathological condition as reported for spontaneous biophoton emission. The hypothesis, as it provides conveniences for quantitative estimation of biophoton emission patterns, will be extended in future works towards interpreting the temporal characteristics of biophoton emission under stimulation.
... Conceptually, the RNG is based on only one Zener diode, the signal of which is amplified and then immediately split and thereafter digitalized (Pederzoli et al., 2017) and processed, and on its emergence gives a regular temporal sequence of absolutely random 1 and 0 states. This process could, however, hinder sensitivity to PK, since in a postdigitalization stage the 1 and 0 states are further processed, causing the loss of a good chunk of the possible relationship with mental influence on the tunnel effect. ...

... The efficacy of this procedure was confirmed in a study by Tressoldi et al., (2014) and a possible explanation for it was posited in the study by Pederzoli, Giroldini, Prati, & Tressoldi, (2017). In an initial pilot experiment, and later in a pre-registered experiment, the participants were asked to alter from a distance the function of a TRNG to reach the threshold level, fixed at ± 1.65 z-score with respect to the theoretical average value. ...
This study was aimed at verifying the possibility of mentally influencing from a distance an electronic device based on a True Random Number Generator (TRNG). Thirteen adult participants contributed to 100 trials, each comprised of three samples of data each of 15 minutes’ duration: one for pre-mental interaction, one for mental interaction, and one for post- mental interaction. For each of these three samples, at the end of each minute, the data sequence generated by the random number generator was analysed with the Frequency and Runs test, in order to determine the reduction of the degree of randomness of the sequence. Further 100 trials of three samples each of the same duration, were collected as control of the spontaneous functioning of the device. The only evidence of an effect of distant mental interaction is an increase of approximately 50%, with respect to control data, of the number of samples within which the pre-determined statistical threshold for the detection of a reduction of the randomness was surpassed in both tests. Although the effect of distant mental interaction is still weak, we believe that the results of this study represent a proof-of-concept for the construction of electronic devices susceptible to distant mental influence.

Ultra-weak photon emissions (UPEs) including those from human have been experimented for decades. The photo-genic origin of UPE has also been attributed to the oxidative stress or free radical production that is unique to metabolically active states of biological organisms. However, there are considerable gaps in quantitative understanding of UPE. In this work, I propose an analytical framework of hypothesis for the initial objective of modeling a few superficial presentations of UPE of human, including the systematic dependency on age, the diurnal variation, and the geometric asymmetry associated with serious asymmetrical pathological conditions. The hypothesis which is currently limited to human assumes a new form of energy state, termed vivo-nergy, which resides only in metabolically active organisms that are also under neuronal control. The hypothesis projects a decrease of the vivo-nergy in human during growth beyond puberty, with the rate of decrease dictated by a critical time-scale---the age of the first opposite-sex sexual intercourse (FOSSI). The hypothesis also proposes a modification of the vivo-nergy by the phases of systematic or homeostatic physiology. The hypothesis further postulates that the deviation of the physiology-modified vivo-nergy from the pre-puberty level is deteriorated by acquired organ-specific pathological conditions. Any reduction of vivo-nergy from the pre-puberty level is hypothesized to proportionally cause oxidative stress that functions as the physical source of UPE. The resulted steady-state diffusion of the photon emitted from a photo-genic source of UPE in a human geometry simplified as a homogeneous spherical domain is modeled by photon diffusion principles incorporating an extrapolated zero-boundary condition. The age and systematic physiology combined determines the intensity of the centered physiological photo-genic source. The acquired (single) pathology sets both the intensity and the off-center position of the (single) pathological photo-genic source. When the age-related, physiology-commanded, and pathology-controlled modifications of the photo-genetic sources are implemented in the photon diffusion model, the photon fluence rate at the surface of the simplified human-representing spherical domain reveals the dependency on age, the temporal variation corresponding to systematic physiology, and the geometric asymmetry associated with significant asymmetric pathological condition as reported previously for UPE. The hypothesis, as it provides analytical conveniences for quantitative estimation of UPE patterns, may be useful to further model-based interpretation of the spatial-temporal characteristics of UPE.
The sheep-goat effect of psi cannot be explained without considering mind of specific states. This work speculates mind-matter interaction, as was inferred by many including Erwin Schrödinger, for entertaining an analytically flavored “phenomenological” interpretation of the sheep-goat effect. A fundamental construct of this theory is the operation of mind-matter events in a spatial-temporal-attentional domain, which relaxes to the spatial-temporal domain wherein purely objective events are registered, when the effect of attention vanishes. Attention is quantitated as a nonuniformly interspaced discrete index that depends solely on the number of viable neurons that function in a coherent state for a purpose of the mind. A spatial-attentional “information” domain is assumed to be operable by hinging it with the spatial-temporal “energy” domain along the spatial dimension to form a so-called vivo-dynamic complex. Operations of an event function with respect to the attentional dimension are assigned to assimilate those with respect to the temporal dimension. Domain operators are introduced to specify the domain of temporal or attentional attribution as needed to assess an event and identify the outcome of domain-coupling on the registration of an event. Time-dependent Schrodinger’s equation is then, imperatively, treated as a lower-dimensional case of a higher-dimensional mind-matter-event equation elaborated in the spatial-temporal-attentional complex. The resulted mind-matter-event function defined in the vivo-dynamic complex relaxes to an objective-event function in the spatial-temporal domain at either zeroing of the attention or vanishing of the first-order derivative of the function with respect to the attentional index. The mind-matter-event equation leads to simple traveling-wave-type solutions that are formed by combining the temporal presentation and attentional perception. The auto or cross interaction of the mind-matter event functions then creates “information-energy” coupling terms presumed to be amenable to instrument probing in the spatial-temporal domain as is the objective-event term. The domain-coupling when modulated by the phase difference between the temporal and attentional dimensions is seen to enhance or inhibit the deviation of the event registration in the spatial-temporal domain from its baseline probability. The outcome is thus akin to the sheep-goat effect. The phase-dependency of the event-coupling also elicits why it may be difficult to replicate psi. Such a theoretical manipulation offers novel insights to phenomena that manifest mind-matter interaction.
