The information contained in any given experimental time series can
be utilized more exhaustively when transition probabilities between
states rather than state probabilities alone are studied. Using advanced
techniques of time series analysis, it is shown that deviations from
dynamical randomness indicate evidence for unexpected temporal correlation
features in selected data sets taken from a mind-matter experiment conducted
at Freiburg (Germany). The techniques of analysis and a proper error
estimation are briefly described, and some preliminary first results
are presented. They encourage further inquiry into processual aspects
of deviations from randomness in addition to more straightforward analyses
of state probabilities.
Keywords: transition probabilities, scaling indices, deviations from
randomness, temporal correlations in mind-matter data
