	Zener ESP cards
		Zener ESP cards were designed in the early 1930s by Karl Zener (1903-1963), an associate of J.
		The cards would be shuffled and a receiver would then try to guess the cards that a sender would try to telepathically communicate.
		Zener cards may have made it easy to calculate the odds against chance of any psi performer, but it is a gross exaggeration to claim, as Dean Radin has, that Rhine’s “statistical analysis is essentially valid” (Radin 1997: 95-96).

		Zener cards are cards used to conduct experiments for extra-sensory perception, most often clairvoyance.
		The 5 designs on the fronts of the cards are a circle, a cross in the Greek cross form with each of the four lines being of equal length, a five-pointed star in outline form, a square, and a trio of vertical wavy lines (the "waves").
		Zener cards may be used to measure the innate ESP of an individual, but they may also be used to indicate the average scores for groups of subjects being tested.

	Zener card - Psychology Wiki
		Zener cards are cards used to conduct experiments for extra-sensory perception (ESP), most often clairvoyance.
		There are five different Zener cards: a hollow circle (one curve), a Greek cross (two lines), three vertical wavy lines (or "waves"), a hollow square (four lines), and a hollow five-pointed star.
		Although Zener cards are usually used to test for clairvoyance, they may also be used to test for telepathy, in which case one subject will draw a card and attempt to mentally project the image on it to the mind of another subject.

		Cards bearing one of five patterns (circle, square, star, wavy lines, triangle) on one face (unmarked on the other), originating from Karl Zener's work at the parapsychology laboratory of Duke University investigating extrasensory perception (ESP) and transmission.
		The premise behind the use of these cards is that the sender looks at the marked face of the card and mentally projects the image at the receiver, who makes a note of what image he or she thinks they're picking up at any given moment.
		Zener cards are perhaps best well-known to the general public as seen being (mis-)used by Dr.

	On The Origins Of The Psychic Abilities Test And Zener Cards
		Zener cards were developed and designed by Karl Zener, a Swiss Psychologist, and his associate J.B Rhine, at Duke University during the 1930's, to test an individual's psychic abilities or ESP (Extra Sensory Perception).
		Zener cards can test many types of psychic abilities including the ability to perceive objects or events that already exist or have occurred, but are not known to you (clairvoyance).
		In conclusion Zener and Rhine especially Rhine and his wife are considered to be the founders of modern day Para-Psychology and Karl Zener considered the inventor of the Zener cards which to this day are still used to test for psychic abilities.

	Philosophical Critiques: Extranormal Mental States
		A playing card, picked at random from a shuffled deck and no one having seen its face, is placed in an opaque envelope or box; the clairvoyant person has the ability to name the card correctly, because he perceives the card as it is, although it is impossible to perceive it with the ordinary senses.
		Since each symbol appears five times in the deck of twenty-five cards, the average change of the symbols being called correctly must be one in five or one fifth of the total.
		Or, the five key cards, one of each suit, are placed face down, no one knowing their order; the entire deck is placed face down before the subject and he must match the unknown key cards with the corresponding cards of the desk.

	Zener Cards and How They Work: PsychicAndClairvoyant
		Zener cards are a tool used by parapsychologists to test for the presence of ESP or Extra Sensory Perception.
		Rhine and Zener must have been excited when they first started using the cards to test for psychic ability, as it seemed like their campus was packed with high scoring sensitives.
		Inept card shuffling and card counting are two other ways that the accuracy of the tests can be corrupted, so sometimes multiple decks are used, with some tests reaching into the hundreds of cards.

	Random Noise Sources
		We will just be supplying noise signal to the sound card, and not using the voltage from the card, thus avoiding any possibility that the power line might affect the quality of the delivered noise.
		A zener diode is a semiconductor junction operated in reverse bias breakdown, and built to take the power dissipation of such operation.
		The first transistor is used to convert current noise from the zener into amplified current noise in the collector, which is seen as voltage noise across the collector resistor.

	Zener Cards
		The Zener Cards are so well known that almost everyone recognises them, even if they don't know their name.
		In a precognition experiment, the cards are shuffled and the subject tries to predict each card before it is put aside.
		In this case, since the experimenter knows the nature of the card, it is important to design the experiment to rule out subconscious clues being inadvertently passed between the two.

	Zener Card ESP Test
		The Zener cards were used in forced choice experiments - ones in which the participant chose the target from a set of known possible targets.Originally used by Rhine and his colleagues, they consist of five simple symbols: star, circle.
		The cards were shuffled, originally by hand but later by machine, and the participant then attempted to determine the order of the cards through the use of psi.
		In a telepathy protocol, the cards were viewed by a remote person (the sender) who attempted to 'transmit' the information to the participant.

		Zener cards often are used to test claims of extra-sensory perception (ESP), such as telepathy (mind reading) and clairvoyance (knowing something without perceiving it with the usual five senses).
		Zener cards were developed by Dr. Karl Zener, of Duke University, and were first used to study ESP by Dr. J.B. Rhine (1895-1980), who allegedly coined the term extra-sensory perception.
		Each time we look at a card, the psychic writes down which of the five cards she thinks we are looking at.

		A deck of 25 cards used in research into extra-sensory perception.
		On the face of each card is printed one of five symbols (circle, cross, square, star, or wavy lines); therefore, the chance probability of a hit is 1/5 for an individual card, and the number of hits expected on the basis of chance alone for the complete pack is five.

		Zener cards are designed to test psychic abilities.
		For years, Rhine and Zener experimented with these cards, amassing statistics to prove that humans have a kind of sixth sense.
		Although many scientists still refuse to recognize the significance of parapsychological research, Rhine and Zener nevertheless proved that something real was going on with their subjects who were able to accurately identify the images on these cards, sight unseen.

		Although it is possible to use anything to do psychic readings, Zener cards are better suited to developing and experimenting with psychic skills.
		The next card is then selected, focused on by the sender, guessed by the receiver and recorded and so on.

		His participants were able to guess the identity of cards with overall odds against chance of 160 to 1; however, Coover did not consider the results to be significant enough to report this as a positive result.
		Five cards, with pictures of an elephant, giraffe, lion, pelican, and zebra are shuffled and then placed in a box that can be accessed by the sender, but which cannot be viewed by the experimenter or any observers.
		The sender would then select the card in his box corresponding to that number (the card farthest to the left was 1, and they ascended to the right), and then attempt to mentally send that image to the receiver.
