You would then concentrate on a picture which had previously been scanned in. The program would then calculate how many of the pixels lined up with the picture.<br /><br />This was a variant of the attempt to affect random number generators.<br /><br />The article had no reference, but said that this and other programs were easy to find on the Internet. Right.<br /><br />Can anyone out there point me to this or similar programs?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />TinklPitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325707549801282615.post-37311116739747277642014-03-31T10:55:31.860-04:002014-03-31T10:55:31.860-04:00Hey Lance thanks for the reply!

If he was actually a fraud, it doesn't rule out in my mind the possibility that there may be something to the phenomenon of thoughtography. I still maintain that it would be worth looking into, if for no other reason than intellectual curiosity.

It is not reasonable (from my humble perspective) to leave the door open or offer an "open mind". There simply is no doubt that he was a fraud.Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17280922104955532058noreply@blogger.com
