For example going back to the "I see energy claim", just grab an object which releases it and make a dud that looks just like it. Place it at a distance from the people who will be tested and periodically change them while the subject is in a position that he/she cannot see them to check if the person can tell which one is which for say 100 times. Of course for someone who has the ability to see energy should be able to answer 100% of the time but to make it fair, we do a Chi squared test.
We make our null and alternate hypothesis, now the expected success rate for a person guessing is 50% so from that and our observed values we can just use the formula:
(O-E)^2/E=X^2 degrees of freedom=(2-1)=1
And compare it to the appropriate table.

A very interesting idea. Perhaps it can be done?

Eh sure but such a claim still needs to be tested

No, I don't want you to do anything that you don't decide for yourself. It is a lot of work, a burden as you say. I can't say what the future will be, regarding how others take interest or not in this. For myself, I have decided to focus more on using it for myself and not losing so much time trying to share what seems to be, for the most part, rather subjective.
If I develop any...superpowers, as you call them, I can't even say for sure if I will simply keep this to myself...most likely. I may still be around, but for the most part I am going to retire to the shadows and work from there.
Such things need to be tested, I agree. The responsibility of finding people to help with the test remains open, I could go anyway with this, within a given set of limitations. I am exploring my options, though for now, I will be focusing on myself. We'll let the future sort itself out.

Agreed.

My apologies if I was offensive, I did not mean it in such a manner. You have a remarkable mind, I am impressed that your able to talk with me about this, and your insights are valuable.

What's emitting the light which is entering your eyes btw?

There are different ways to set this up, one way or another I will focus on getting some of the simpler instruments within my reach set up to experiment with.
As to the light entering the eyes:
There is direct or indirect emissions involved. Direct means that there is a luminescent quality projecting the light directly, such as a light bulb behind the media, or a glow board. A glass wheel with a candle behind it would also have some of this quality.
The indirect means reflected, that is, that light from outside the source shines upon the source (the media) and as the molecules absorb and expel the energy to keep their basic equilibrium (or we could simply say energy state) intact, they release waves that show the colors and shapes of the patterns as these are then carried to the eyes. The energy is a little more mixed here, as the light that goes into a particle or particle field is not the exact same that comes out. That that comes out tends to stay to a particular wavelength, consistent to the state of the energy matter.
This isn't much different then how we see anything, except that what we are seeing is making a helix through the space where the light travels. If we drew up a conceptual picture of the beam emitted, it would appear as a spiral tunnel with layers where black (absence of light) makes tunnel photo walls from the white or colors. The motion of this beam is not the same as a stationary object, nor an object moving one direction, there for it has different effects as it burns through the eyes, is transmitted into the photo-receptor cells into an electric pulse that conveys the patterns though out regions of the brain. That these shapes within the brain are themselves different then the regular stationary, or directive motions of what can be seen, they effect the system differently as well.
How?
Inconclusive.
There is a physical process involved, there is psychological process involved, a biological process involved...there are many processes involved. No one knows what these are, the short range predictions or easier to pin down then the long range ones. It's easy to say what happens to someone if they use this for 30 days...not much at all. It's extremely difficult to say what happens if someone uses it consistently for 10 years straight.
Again, we'll let time sort these things out for itself.
Thank You,
