Walach et al. 2020: a large two-lab replication reports a significant surplus
- what the source states
- A two-laboratory replication with rebuilt hardware and software and a 45×45-variable matrix (2,025 cells) reported evidence for anomalistic correlations between human behavior and a random event generator, evaluated against 10,000 simulated experiments.
- what we infer
- The strongest positive result in the modern record — and qualified by its own authors a year later, who described it as "a significant but fragile effect, as significance broke down in reasonably improved methods of analysis" (Walach et al. 2021). Both halves belong in the ledger.
- limitations
- Co-authored by the model's originator.
- Significance was not robust across analysis variants, per the authors' own successor paper.
