“Yes, experiments. You see, psychology is mostly based on all sorts of tests, and trials; it is an applied, experimental science at large. As a psychologist I use my observations of human behavioural patterns as my main research tool. Sometimes, I deliberately set certain conditions and see...

Here the foreigner got up and shook the amazed editor’s hand in apparent excitement accompanying it with these words: “Allow me to congratulate you on such clarity of your mind.” Both friends were looking at this extravagant foreigner with confused smiles and feeling somewhat...

It must be said that the editor was a well-educated man and in his conversation he very competently referred to many known financial scientists - for instance, the famous Nassim Taleb and his bestseller “Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets” in which he...

At the late hour of the hot summer sunset two men were walking towards the northern part of Central Park. One of them, approximately fifty five years old, dressed in a beige polo shirt and navy-blue summer pants, was stocky, silver-haired, nicely tanned gentleman who carried his brown leather...

I wrote a short story. I think it summarizes well the topic of this discussion. I cannot paste it in one post, so I will do it in a few consecutive ones. Please read. It should be entertaining. Cheers, MAESTRO

BTW, I forgot to comment on Galton. I think it is important to mention his work on regression here. It will be relative later in the discussion. The concept of regression comes from genetics and was popularized by Sir Francis Galton in the late 19th century with the publication of...

Logical thinking is the one that we are aware of: -the one that we can consciously justify, memorize and formalize. The subliminal decisions cannot be consciously registered thus they cannot be presented in a sequence of the “If – Then” statements. In other words, for our intuitive...

Ah! Excellent question! In your example you have just used “If – Then” type of statement: “If the toilet seat is up on my volatoilety icon, and go back to sleep if the seat is down”. That is a serial, sequential type of logic. What I am talking about is different. For example, if...

I am sorry, but in my point of view H/L points by themselves cannot be very efficient reference points as they only partially represent the points in event-time space. However, H/L points combined with their timing characteristics and other attributes like volume, size, bid/ask flow etc. become...

Yes, that is one of the prime objectives of my research.

Past is one of the reference points. The problem is how it is presented to an observer. Charts warp the space in such matter that reference points become much skewed! As I mentioned before, I always suggest presenting the reference points (history included) in a form of a dynamic, adaptive...

I am not trying to be nice at all. I am a psychologist with 30 years of experience. To me every person is a universe; it is only your desire to explore it limits your ability to be fascinated by it. I enjoy all kinds of people and honestly and sincerely respect all points of view. I am old...

BINGO! It is exactly what I suggest: - NO CHARTS!! NO CHARTS AT ALL! Charts are evil and misleading! They only show you what had happened in the past. Try to drive your car by only looking in to your rear view mirror! Not so easy, isn’t it? My intuition amplifiers only use shapes colors...

Now that is a good question! In order to answer it let us think of what characteristics of the environment are crucial to us when we drive a car or fly a plane. Many researchers (including myself) agree that the most critical component of the information about our environment is the frame of...

My interests are not necessarily limited to the outcome of the “right” decisions. My fascination with human brain and its abilities that I discuss here is mostly theoretical and philosophical. I do have a commercial arm that has “computational”, AI based black boxes that trade. It is not...

Although there could be hundreds of different angles of how one could approach the phenomenon of Intuition my research only focuses on the area of objectively measurable characteristics of decision making that occurs in the human-machine environment. The main purpose of my research is to build...

A scientist is an educated fellow who strives to satisfy his/her curiosity for someone else’s expense. There are three major flavors of scientists: 1. Academia scientists 2. Military/Government scientists 3. Commercial private or public company scientists Each of those flavors has its...

In many similar experiments the pre-conditioning is the key. I was able to replicate some of Bem's results. However, I am not convinced myself in the validity of those experiments yet. I am in the process of investigating further the premise introduced in Bem's work.

I agree, however, the word "religion" has been associated with the above for centuries. I agree it is not the best word to describe what I meant, but it is the most concise one. Faith, awareness, quantum consciousness etc. are the most appropriate words, of course, but you understand what I...
