The Global Consciousness Project, also called the EGG Project, is an international, multidisciplinary collaboration of scientists, engineers, artists and others. We collect data continuously from a global network of physical random number generators located in 65 host sites around the world. The archive contains more than 10 years of random data in parallel sequences of synchronized 200-bit trials every second.

Our purpose is to examine subtle correlations that may reflect the presence and activity of consciousness in the world. We predict structure in what should be random data, associated with major global events. When millions of us share intentions and emotions the GCP/EGG network data show meaningful departures from expectation. This is a powerful finding based in solid science.

Subtle but real effects of consciouness are important scientifically, but their real power is more direct. They encourage us to help make essential, healthy changes in the great systems that dominate our world. Large scale group consciousness has effects in the physical world. Knowing this, we can use our full capacities for creative movement toward a conscious future. This article shows how.

Daily Movies (larger & hi-def) show the eggs' locations and activity.
The GCP Dot on the right shows coherence on a global scale.
A Random Tapestry of the data shows a changing pattern.
Our Realtime Display shows current data, raw or summarized.
Global Brain Paintings show complexity and beauty in the data.

The GCP website is large and complex. It uses frames and plain html. We will convert to a modern CSS style when resources become available. Navigation is facilitated by two sets of menus, and will require liberal use of your back button or return to the homepage by clicking on the name in the banner. On the left under "Main Menu" are links to details of the scientific experiment. Under "Aesthetics" you can find overviews and artistic perspectives. In the top frame are multi-link buttons that connect to to a variety of facilities suggested by their names.
