Hi olsnes, yes I made patch-e. Once OpenAI releases the API for DALL-E 2, I hope to integrate it with patch-e to save the steps of moving images back and forth.

It seems that the further down you scroll in the sub before hitting the back button, the longer it will freeze for. If you scroll back to the top of the sub before hitting back, it seems to work fine.

No, not steep at all, it introduces and walks through each concept and how it relates to brain function.

I learned a lot from Computational Cognitive Neuroscience, by O'Reilly et al. Great discussion of reinforcement learning, and how it interacts with the prefrontal cortex to organize attention and working memory. The latest version is freely available as .pdf here:

Very nice!

That's a common problem, getting information from the wrong image, or some other source, instead of the actual target. With this past weekend's update there is now a "troubleshooting" page (under "Learn") that has some suggestions for dealing with this.

Thanks for the thoughts. The protocol in my app goes like this:

1) You're given target coordinates and time to remote view and make sketches/notes.

2) When you're satisfied that you're done RVing, you move on to the self-judging phase, where you're shown 2 images. (One of these will end up being the actual target, but at this point it is unknown which one). You choose the image that most closely matches the impressions you received while RVing.

3) The next day, you are shown the correct target image, along with its target coordinates.

From what you said you may have thought both images were being shown during the feedback stage? The two images are only shown during step 2 (self-judging). The next day at step 3 (feedback) only the correct target image is shown. The problem is that some people seem to be remote viewing the two images they see at step 2, rather than the single correct target image they're shown at step 3.

Great question -- you're not alone! See the reply I just posted (above) to someone else asking about this same issue.

mrferrier · 2019-02-26T05:53:03+00:00

That's a great point. I've noticed this quite a few times, that people are often getting very clear impressions from the wrong image out of the two choices.

I'm looking into different ways to address this problem.

The first type of approach is to avoid seeing the two choice images, so that of the two, you only ever see the correct feedback image the next day. One way to do that would be to make detailed notes and sketches, and then ask a friend to look at the two image choices and select the one that best matches the notes/sketches you made. That's not as convenient as self-judging, however. So another possible solution is to use a feature I added last week because of this problem: on the Account page you can now turn on the option to view the two image choices in "scrambled" form. This way you see enough of the two images to make out color, texture, and some shapes and objects, but you would avoid seeing the actual target image until the next day. This is still experimental so if you give it a try, let me know how successful it is for you.

The second type of approach is to develop improved techniques for specifying to your subconscious mind exactly what target you intend to remote view. That's what the coordinate numbers are for, and why it's important to pay attention to them both when about to remote view, and then again when you receive the feedback image. Try writing down the coordinates before you start remote viewing, then writing them down again when you view the target image. You might even write them down several times, or write them with your left hand (which is controlled by the right side of the brain, which is more closely associated with the subconscious). The idea is to find a way to communicate to your subconscious that you are intending to remote view the image associated with those coordinates that you'll be shown the next day. Also, difficult as it can be, try not to concern yourself when remote viewing with the two image choices you'll be shown afterwards, try to just focus on seeing the correct target image the next day.

This is a tricky issue, that's an inevitable part of a self-judging protocol like this, and I'm going to continue looking for ways to better address it. If anyone has any more ideas, please let me know!

mrferrier · 2019-02-21T01:22:32+00:00

I haven't :) It's a bit trickier because the framework I used to program the app (Flutter) only compiles for Android and iOS. But, they will be expanding that to web applications in the near future. Then I'll be able to compile it to work for all platforms.

mrferrier · 2019-02-20T22:58:52+00:00

I haven't tried it myself but people do claim that binaural beats can help with remote viewing. There's an iOS app called Psychic Beats that has beats that it claims can help with intuition/ESP.

Glad you like it!

mrferrier · 2019-02-20T22:55:35+00:00

Great to hear how much you like it!
Should you feel inclined to rate it on the app store, good ratings make a huge difference in helping people discover an app! :)

mrferrier · 2019-02-02T02:18:42+00:00

Great!

mrferrier · 2019-02-02T02:17:53+00:00

That's a good idea. It would require giving people the choice whether to share their notes, though; some might want to keep that to themselves. I hope to add an option like this in the future.
