Discovery Lab Answers

The question can’t be answered as posed from the retrieved sources

“Strongest single experimental result” implies a ranked comparison of experimental effects — a hit rate, an effect size, a z-score, the biggest confirmed psi outcome. The sources retrieved for this question do not support that ranking, and I won’t manufacture one. A few clarifications about why:

• There is no structured evidence table for this question. ESP-Nexus answers “which effect is largest / strongest” questions from an audited quantitative ground truth. None was returned here, so I have no closed evidence base from which to name a single strongest experimental result — and I have not measured what share of the library’s experimental results these four retrieved passages represent, so even if one of them reported a large effect I could not call it “the strongest in the library.”

• None of the four retrieved sources is the kind of study that would win such a ranking. Reading them for what they actually report:

The word “strongest” appears in several of these passages, but in each case it means something different and non-comparable — strongest methodological quality ^[1], strongest evidentiary design ^[2], strongest case ^[3], strongest correlation ^[4]. These are four different metrics. Pooling or ranking them into one “strongest experimental result” would be exactly the kind of cross-metric comparison the evidence doesn’t license.

What would actually answer this

The site’s synthesis pages point to where the largest experimental psi effects are usually located and debated:

• The ganzfeld / free-response literature is where pooled summaries have reported the most consistently above-chance effects — see Meta-Analysis in Parapsychology, which notes ganzfeld procedures producing the strongest results among free-response designs with no sign of decline over roughly four decades.
• Within Dream Telepathy, the strongest single-study results in the Maimonides series came from the Erwin single-subject studies.
• By contrast, Clairvoyance notes that forced-choice card tests produce tiny per-study effects, ambiguous individually.

If you tell me which paradigm you mean — ganzfeld, precognition, dream telepathy, forced-choice — I can pull the audited quantitative rows for that question and give you an actual figure-by-figure comparison rather than a word that means four different things across four unrelated papers.
