Science should turn to the inner source, from biofeedback, astronomy, and other disciplines, back to the inner psyche, to explore consciousness, psyche movement, and multiple dimensions of the psyche.
科学应转向内在源头,从生物反馈、天文学等学科回到内在心灵,探索意识、心灵移动与心灵多重维度。

This program treats the Seth Material as a source of hypotheses, not as doctrine to be validated. Lead dossiers are AI-compiled from the corpus with a book-and-session citation after every statement; literature reviews are AI web-search summaries whose references were all DOI-verified against Crossref; the agenda draft is an AI synthesis. None of it is Seth's original text, and none of it represents scientific consensus. English fields are machine-translated; the Chinese text is authoritative.

Adjudicating experiment
Recruit 300 participants across 3 centers, randomly assigned to real EEG neurofeedback, paired sham feedback, and active attention training, about 100 per group; train for 8 weeks and follow up after 3 months; project duration 18 months; collect first-person experiences, EEG target modulation ability, and behavioral transfer. If remote target identification is included, it should be a separate pre-registered endpoint, evaluated with automated random targets and information isolation; effective neurofeedback cannot substitute for positive evidence on that endpoint.
Suggested paper title
Neurofeedback, Expectancy, and First-Person Reports: A Pre-registered Multisite Randomized Trial
What it would overturn
Introspection and neurofeedback effectiveness do not require overturning mainstream assumptions; only if strictly isolated remote information acquisition holds would it challenge the hypothesis that 'verifiable external information acquisition requires a physical information channel'.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
This is a research-direction suggestion, lacking a single falsifiable proposition; first-person research and biofeedback are already part of scientific methodology.
Note
untested here means that the entire methodological suggestion lacks direct truth/falsehood testing, and should not be interpreted as no one studying consciousness or biofeedback; first-person reports should be cross-validated with independent behavioral measures.
