NOTE: Beginning the 1st of June 2005, the specification of hypotheses for surprise events requires special care because the GCP website now includes a realtime index display that integrates the data in a fashion related to one of our primary analysis methods. Events such as terror attacks or earthquakes will be identified algorithmically, to preclude influence from the GC Index display.

All formal events to be included in the comprehensive test of the general hypothesis of the Global Consciousness Project are identified in the following table. It includes specifications for the period of time during which we expect the data will show deviations from expectation, the resolution of the analysis, and the specific analytical recipe to be followed. By convention the period includes the second that begins at the begin time, up to the last second prior to the end time. For example, the the first hour begins with 00:00:00 and ends with 00:59:59. All times are GMT/UTC.

An asterisk by the event number and "No" in the Include column identifies events that are not included in the "rigorous subset" of the Formal Results. Brief annotations indicate why they are excluded, usually because the original specification was not adequately detailed, or the event had overlap with another. The notation "DB Rank" identifies a few events that were used in an experimental analysis procedure involving ranking against random decoys; they are accepted formal events.
