Recommended Response Time Code for Replications
This is the Inquisit 6 response time code used in: Replication of Results from a Test of the Consciousness Causes Collapse Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Using Subliminal Priming Methodology. This is the code that is recommended for future replications. Simply cut and paste into the a new Inquisit file and run. Feel free to email any questions to [email protected]

STEP #1
Paste the Geiger Counter Data below for the unobserved condition. The sequence for the unobserved condition goes first and below that is where you would need to insert the sequence for the observed condition in Step #2.
For the unobserved condition:
Scroll down 30 or more lines below and then paste in the Geiger counter data with the screen covered as you do so. Then, with the screen still covered, scroll back up to the top of the code. Remove the cover and then slowly and carefully scroll back down to this point again. Cover the screen. With your curser on the left margin you should be able to blindly scroll down to where you just placed your, yet unseen, Geiger counter data. By clicking the mouse and holding the button while moving it slightly to the right you should be able to select one numeral from your Geiger counter data. You will know that you have this by looking at the column number at the bottom right of your screen, which you should still be able to see while keeping the other 4/5th of the screen covered. Then use control x to cut. You will know it worked because the column number will go back to "0". Then scroll up to the top. You can remove the cover and carefully scroll down to this section again. Then place your cursor between the word "prime" and the "/" in the code below. Cover the screen up again. Hit paste. Then again scroll all the way to the bottom of the code. When at the bottom you can remove the cover. Scroll very slowly up until you get to Step #2.

this large number of empty lines was put in to help prevent any accidental scrolling up to the unobserved primes during the placement of the observed primes.
****************************************************************************************************************************
<text observedprime>/items = prime/select = sequence (
)</text>
****************************************************************************************************************************
STEP # 2.
Obtain a new group of Geiger counter data for the observed condition and paste it immediately above the ")</text>". Then, briefly look at all of the numbers. After that randomly select one of the digits for the correspondence and insert it between the word "prime" and the "/" in the code just as you did in the unobserved condition. Be careful the whole time not to accidentally scroll too high or you will come into contact with the sequence for the unobserved condition, which needs to remain unobserved. Once this is done, scroll again to the bottom and hit run. Then the lap top will be ready to be brought to the participant. You must also ensure that your item blocks are being rotated every administration. Directions on how to do this can be found in the next instructions section labeled Step # 3 below.
