    Hugely interesting project. The stock market is such a mysterious place for "outsiders" like myself, so learning more about it would certainly be fascinating.

    Is there anyway to become a backer, or is it closed? Thanks

    Stock markets are affected by political and economic factors. It is hard to predict with accuracy their movements. Bashar Malkawi

    "Thirty years of data suggest that non-conscious processing correlates with future events." This is interesting. Do you have sources for this?

    Sure -- if you're unfamiliar with this field my guess is the best place to start is my new American Psychological Association textbook Transcendent Mind: https://www.amazon.com/Transcendent-Mind-Rethinking-Science-Consciousness/dp/1433822776/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485838830&sr=8-1&keywords=transcendent+mind

    Hi Julie. I was more referring to peer reviewed sources. Don't worry about work being stuck behind a paywall, I have institutional access.

    Hi Ian -- awkward to respond here -- can we have an email conversation? I'm at jmossbridge@gmail.com. BTW, that book was heavily peer reviewed (it's a textbook), and cites thousands of peer reviewed resources. But email me so I get a sense of exactly what you are looking for and I can send you whatever papers you want.

    This is fascinating. Thank you for doing this research. If there is only one mind of the human species and we are all connected in that matrix, there surely is then one collective unconscious mind as well. How can we tap into this collective unconscious mind and inspire transformation to serve for the common good. i wonder. ;-)

    Good points, Tazdeen. It appears we for sure have independent minds, but I agree there's evidence that there is some connected or interdependent component as well. Common good = agreed!

    Hope you have fun doing this. My own trials showed an effect, but translating that into real life profit margins is far from easy - a lot can go wrong! So best wishes!

    Yes, there are many slips between cup and lips! We shall see how it goes...my own trials seem to go well too...I am hoping we get the funding!
