PSI Science Lamp — Experience True Randomness in Real Time, Explore Focus & Intention, and Visualize Unpredictability — Free Downloadable Software & USB Cable - Made in The USA

It’s a random number generator coupled with a Geiger counter and lights. To the average person it’s just a lamp that blinks random colors at random times. This would not justify such a high price tag but if the makers of this product were to include the 3mm to USB adapter, that’s only $30, then you could connect to a computer and actually see RNG data being produced and therefore get more value and utility out of it. I have not yet bought the cable so I can only give a partial review. I suppose you can test for “certain” abilities and maybe influence or predict the sequence of the colors of the lights but I haven’t had much luck. UPDATE: 04/03/2023 Bought the 3mm to USB adapter a while ago and downloaded the software and used it. Not very impressed with those results but I hardly used it, the adapter and software made it more than a lamp. I don’t regret buying it, it’s definitely a pricey novelty item and I would like more things like this!

It sure would have been nice to get the cable with this device. As well as I have to navigate the web to find the software to go with it. For $259 I would think that all of this would’ve been included in the purchase. Update: Returned item and still have not gotten my money back.

I bought the PSI Science Lamp mainly out of curiosity about true random number generators and as a visual tool for experimentation, not because I expected proof of psychic phenomena. From a hardware standpoint, it’s actually an intriguing little device. The build quality is solid, the wooden enclosure looks nice on a desk, and the color-changing light gives immediate visual feedback tied to the RNG output. Setup was straightforward, and the USB connection worked as advertised on my Windows PC. The included software allows you to log data and see the raw output, which is where this product makes the most sense to me, as a genuine hardware-based randomness source rather than a “mind-over-matter” gadget. Used this way, it’s fun for demonstrations, art projects, or basic experiments comparing hardware randomness to software RNGs. That said, the product description leans heavily into testing parapsychology claims. The lamp cycles colors fairly slowly, and without structured protocols or statistical tools, it’s easy to read meaning into randomness. Downloading the free software from the company website was a game changer. The mind over matter testing software gamifies PSI testing, which makes it fun and exciting to watch. Overall, if you have the time to invest in running the software through its paces, this can be an enjoyable and thought-provoking piece of hardware.
