Do As One Breathing Event |
In the collection of mass meditation events within the formal series of GCP hypothesis tests, we include web organized gatherings of substantial numbers of people intending to do something in synchrony. A good example is the Do As One Global Breathing Events, which are an invitation to as many people as are interested literally to breathe in synchrony. This is facilitated by a website with instructions and a dynamic graphic that "breathes" at a slow, steady pace.
The GCP event was set for the three hour specified in the invitation, 20:00 to 23:00 UTC. The result is Chisquare 10885.730 on 10800 df, for p = 0.279 and Z = 0.586.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny statistical effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish signal from noise. This means that every "success" might be largely driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect can be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of similar analyses.
