    We attempted to reproduce Radin's experiment in whichi presentiment response was observed in electrodermal activity (EDA). In his experiment a series of pictures are shown to a subject; results are claimed to show a presentiment response exists in EDA - signal before picture demonstration differs in accord with future picture contents (calm/disturbing). We wrote software to run this experiment and analyzed a few hundred pictures. We proposed a method of evaluating the statistical significance, which we hope is suitable independent replication of results.
