It is also well established that the intent and expectation of the

separate that out from the other possible influences.
Since the research community assumes half-lives to be reliable (almost
w/status of physics constants e.g. isotope dating,) then shouldn't ANY
anomaly raise red flags for investigation?
This guy on sci.electronics.design below is building a tiny datalogger
box, and if it's open source and easily copied, then double-blind testing
wouldn't be difficult. Or do like the PEAR lab, and intentionally look
for mental effects by running several loggers at widely spaced locations.
Do check out his thread; he posts lots of jpegs of construction.
PS
They say yearly variation, 33-day variation, and transients before/during
solar flares. Here's a nice review:
