This has, in fact been done and published in the scientific literature in different ways already. The problem is that the studies are often done, and presented without much followup.
I've posted this before, but many newbies here probably haven't seen it. Princeton University had a lab called P.E.A.R. which stands for "Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Scientific Study of Consciousness-Related Physical Phenomena." This lab operated for over 30 years, and performed tens of thousands of controlled experiments designed to look for the effect that human consciousness has on experiments centered around radnom number generating machines.
In essence, the PEAR lab simplified the issues. They built several different random number generating machines that were shielded from all possible influences (electrical, magnetic, chemical, etc.). These machines could best be thought of as mechanisms that automatically could toss a coin randomly and get either "heads" or "tails." 50% of the time, the machines should land on each - within a certain statistical variation. It was hypothesized that if human thought/intent could have any effect on the statistical outcome from random machines, this would be a monumental finding.
The labs set up experiments with many people sitting in front of the machines. They were instructed to try to influence the outcome of the hundreds of thousands of "coin tosses." Some were instructed to try to influence the outcome positively, others negatively. In some instances several subjects were all told to work together to cause an outcome.
There was painstaking preparation taken to first make sure that the machines were shielded from all known minute influences that might affect the outcome of these otherwise random events.
The results were compelling. Statistical analyses revealed a small but statistically significant variation from what the random number generating machines should have produced. Some individuals changed the expected outcome in a more dramatic way. For some, whatever they pictured happening, the opposite occurred more often! Of note, husbands and wives, or lovers seemed to have the greatest effect on the outcome of these random machines - stronger than any individual.
Essentially, over many thousands of tests, the researchers proved that conscious intent has a statistically measurable effect on random events, unexplainable in any way in the physical world. The pooled results were published in the scientific literature in peer reviewed journals.
But it didn't end there, in some experiments, manipulations of the past and future were done which STILL showed a measurable effect of consciousness that transcended time. What occurred was this; the random number generator was run, and the results were sealed and not examined. The sealed results were then put in front of subjects who were told to favor either "heads" or "tails" (essentially). Now remember, the experiments had already been printed out. When the analyses were done, there was a statistically significant difference associated with the subjects intent. This only could have occurred if the conscious thought could affect the outcome in the past!
Now the statistics were small. If normal variance was, say 50.3% for a "heads" or "tails" result, then they may have found a 50.4 or 50.5% results. But when the machines ran the experiment thousands of times, the variation exceeded what could have come about merely by chance.
The implications of 30 years of data are clear; that conscious intent can change the outcome of events in shielded random experiments in the physical world. Although the PEAR lab had 62 peer-reviewed accepted publications, the true implications of their research - that we are more than our physical bodies or that our mind/soul can alter events and probabilities are yet to have been understood or accepted in full by the scientific community.
