Searching for Global Consciousness: A 17-Year Exploration
The Global Consciousness Project (GCP) maintains a long-term experiment that investigates the possibility of a subtle connection between the collective mental activity of humans and the physical behavior of systems in the surrounding environment. The Project formulates this proposition as a broad hypothesis that relates the output of true random number generators (RNGs) to times of intense, collective mental attention during major world events. Over 17 years, the hypothesis has been tested on nearly 500 events, yielding a cumulative result that rejects the null hypothesis by seven standard deviations, apparently lending st...

Herbal medicine, oreongsan for recurrent chronic subdural hematoma: a case report
Recently, the East-Asian herbal complex Oreongsan (Goreisan in Japanese and Wulingsan in Chinese) has been noted for its usefulness in preventing postoperative recurrence of Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH). Here, we present a case of CSDH, an 84-year-old man which had recurred four times, despite three previous burr-hole surgeries. Following the fourth burr-hole surgery, an herbal medicine called Oreongsan (TJ-17, tsumura, Japan, 15g/day) was administered to the patient in hopes of preventing another CSDH recurrence.
