1#这项研究探索了一种假设，即在某些情况下，直觉知识来自于不是通过普通感官调节的知觉。在一项基于对量子系统的观测影响的试点测试中，研究了探测这种非局域观测的可能性。参与者被要求想象他们可以直观地感觉到远处迈克尔逊干涉仪中的低强度激光束。如果这种观测是可能的，理论上它将扰乱光子的量子波函数，并改变干涉仪产生的光的模式。光学设备位于一个不透光的双层钢墙屏蔽室内。参与者闭着眼睛静静地坐在会议厅外。一台冷却的数码相机每秒记录一次光模式，并将这些图像在平衡心理障碍和非障碍条件下的平均照明水平进行比较。根据设计，扰动将产生较低的整体照明水平，这预计会在阻塞条件下发生。根据一系列计划的实验会议，结果与预测一致(zϭϪ2.82；Pϭ.002)。这一结果主要是因为有经验的冥想者参加了9次冥想(联合zϭϪ4.28；Pϭ9.4ϫ10Ϫ6)；其他9次与非冥想者的治疗没有显著差异(联合zϭ0.29；Pϭ.61)。相同的实验协议在15个测试会话之后立即运行，但没有人在场，没有显示可能解释这些结果的硬件或协议构件(组合控制zϭ1.50；Pϭ.93)。对这些结果的传统解释被认为是不可信的。这项初步研究表明，非局域微扰效应的存在与传统的直觉概念是一致的，这是获得关于世界的知识的直接手段，也与观测对量子系统的预测效果一致。简介：“直觉是神圣的礼物，理性的头脑是忠诚的仆人。我们创造了一个尊重仆人却忘记了礼物的社会。”--阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦

1# This study explored the hypothesis that in some cases intuitive knowledge arises from perceptions that are not mediated through the ordinary senses. The possibility of detecting such nonlocal observation was investigated in a pilot test based on the effects of observation on a quantum system. Participants were asked to imagine that they could intuitively perceive a low-intensity laser beam in a distant Michelson interferometer. If such observation were possible , it would theoretically perturb the photons' quantum wave functions and change the pattern of light produced by the inter-ferometer. The optical apparatus was located inside a light-tight, double-steel walled, shielded chamber. Participants sat quietly outside the chamber with eyes closed. The light patterns were recorded by a cooled digital camera once per second, and average illumination levels of these images were compared in counterbalanced mental blocking versus nonblocking conditions. By design, perturbation would produce a lower overall level of illumination, which was predicted to occur during the blocking condition. Based on a series of planned experimental sessions, the outcome was in accordance with the prediction (z ϭ Ϫ2.82; P ϭ .002). This result was primarily due to nine sessions involving experienced meditators (combined z ϭ Ϫ4.28; P ϭ 9.4 ϫ 10 Ϫ6); the other nine sessions with nonmedi-tators were not significant (combined z ϭ 0.29; P ϭ .61). The same experimental protocol run immediately after 15 of these test sessions , but with no one present, revealed no hardware or protocol artifacts that might have accounted for these results (combined control z ϭ 1.50; P ϭ .93). Conventional explanations for these results were considered and judged to be implausible. This pilot study suggests the presence of a nonlocal perturbation effect that is consistent with traditional concepts of intuition as a direct means of gaining knowledge about the world, and with the predicted effects of observation on a quantum system.
