The whole presentiment experiment seems interesting because it is fairly robust, and ties in with Libet's neural timing results. These are often used as an excuse for claiming that consciousness has no real effect in decision making.
I seriously wonder if consciousness is a phenomenon distinct - at least in part - from the brain that is somewhat delocalised in time.
Topher, I think when thinking about Ψ, you should admit far more things as possibilities. Once you admit Ψ at all, you are into territory that has been very little explored theoretically.
