Abstract
Over a series of studies, M. A. Thalbourne tried to influence the digital output of a random number generator to demonstrate that psychokinesis (PK) can be influenced by 'Kundalini' (an alleged body-energy). The series did not indicate a consistent Kundalini-PK effect. It was later thought that a feedback artifact might explain some of the psi outcomes. In this paper, we show that there is no evidence supporting a feedback artifact. Inspection of past results does suggest a Kundalini- PK effect, but a more objective experimental procedure is advised.
