I have been thinking about ways to combine the Emotiv EPOC with Meta-Magick techniques, for experimentation (vis-à-vis ritual per se, where resides most of my interest in combining them).
1. State entity invocation. Have Person A (wearing the EPOC) invoke State Entity J while Person B records the EPOC’s activity, mapping it to one of the Cognitiv abilities. Repeat (banish, re-invoke) a few times to improve the EPOC’s response. Later, have Person A invoke State Entity J again, while Person B observes the EPOC’s response to see if it is consistent with previous responses. Alternatively, the response could be mapped to some feedback signal accessible to Person A (e.g. changing the color of a digital artifact).
2. State entity evocation. Have Person A evoke State Entity K into Space X. Have Person B (wearing the EPOC) enter into Space X while Person C records the EPOC’s activity and maps it to one of the Cognitiv abilities. Repeat to see if a consistent response can be found. Next, have Person A evoke State Entity L into Space X, then Person B enters into Space X while Person C records the EPOC’s activity and maps it to a different Cognitiv ability than for State Entity K, and observes any in/consistencies in the response — does the response mapped to State Entity K trigger? Repeat with Person A randomly alternating the entity evoked into Space X, to see what response is triggered in Person B.
3. Mirror neurons and telepathy. Have Person A relax while Person B (wearing the EPOC) observes Person A, and Person C records the EPOC’s activity. Are there any Affectiv signs that Person B relaxes in correspondence to Person A? This could be done with Person A also wearing an EPOC, to compare data from both devices. Another way would be with the Cogntiv abilities, e.g. Person A and Person B each record responses to Push and Pull, then A randomly alternates between Push and Pull, while B observes A, and Person C observes B’s responses to A — does B “push back” when A “pushes”?
Note that in (2) and (3), Person C could be replaced by an automatic recording mechanism, to eliminate her intention’s affect on the experiment. Of course, these all would need additional details such as controls, in order to qualify as bona fide scientific experiments.
