What is most fascinating about this is the complete naivety of the subjects. If the effect is real, I would expect it ought to be trainable. I would expect conditioned subjects to perform better than naive.
But I am not being cheeky when I say I've read more rigorous ESP experiments. At least this has a vaguely plausible biological mechanism?
> Cryptochrome forms a pair of radicals with correlated spins when exposed to blue light.[50][51] Radical pairs can also be generated by the light-independent dark reoxidation of the flavin cofactor by molecular oxygen through the formation of a spin-correlated FADH-superoxide radical pairs.[52] Magnetoreception is hypothesized to function through the surrounding magnetic field's effect on the correlation (parallel or anti-parallel) of these radicals, which affects the lifetime of the activated form of cryptochrome.
