ABSTRACT: The basis of the present study was findings by Spottiswoode (1997a, 1997b) showing that Anomalous Cognition (AC) effect size appears to be associated with Local Sidereal Time (LST) and that correlations between AC effect size and Global Geomagnetic Field (GMF) fluctuations appear to vary with LST. It was argued that, if these findings could be replicated, a parapsychological breakthrough could be expected. Since the amount of AC data available is seriously restricted, it was suggested that data from nonparapsychological databases could be used in order to ...
