Theresa Cheung and Julia Mossbridge have written a book about precognition aimed at a popular audience. Its full title is "The Premonition Code: The Science of Precognition, How Sensing the Future Can Change Your Life", and it's due to be published on 18 October:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Premonition-Cod...1786781611
The book will be accompanied by a website, launching on 1 October. This will offer online precognition training and tests, and is also intended to function as a scientific experiment:

Looking at her website, I can't help thinking that Theresa Cheung is an odd bedfellow for an experimental parapsychologist. Apparently her role was to translate what Julia Mossbridge wrote, so that the general reader could understand it ...

The online test/training site is now operating, here:

However:
(1) Apparently only those in the USA are able to participate in the experiment.
(2) It says others are allowed to use the site, but - and I don't know whether I'm missing something - when I tried I found the instructions incomprehensible without access to the parts of the book they referred to.

Apart from the precognition technique, which would probably be clearer to those who had read the book, a notable feature of the onine experiment is that - instead of being shown two images and being asked to guess which will be the target, the participant is shown two graphs representing the contents of two images, and is asked to choose between them on that basis. The idea is that if the participants see only the target and not the decoy, they are not likely to pick up information from the decoy precognitively.
Here's an interview with her by Mishlove from December 14:
Interesting that they feel precognition can change your life, whereas Wargo thinks you see what is ultimately going to happen...
edit: But there are enough precognitive warnings that averted death that I can't help but feel the Fate idea is wrong.

I've been down this route before. If we see a heavy ball rolling down a hillside towards a small child, we can predict that the child will be crushed, and thus forewarned, we can intervene and prevent this disaster. I think the idea of precognitive warnings is similar, we get a picture of a current trajectory, and its outcome - as it appears at that particular instant. Whether or not it actually takes place will depend on very many things, including, but not limited to, our own intervention.
I think Wargo's take on this is that people are precognising their later thoughts about what happened, and what might have happened, isn't it?
