Fifty atheists from across the English-speaking world are participating in an "experiment" to test the lines of communication with any supreme being, should one exist. Dr. Tim Mawson of Oxford and Justin Brierley, host of the British radio show and podcast "Unbelievable," are coordinating the project and soliciting feedback from its participants.
The project is not scientific. It can not provide conclusive results about the existence or non-existence of gods. It is almost certainly going to result in some false positives.
Even so, such a project could be a good exercise in maintaining open-mindedness, provided there is no coercion, intimidation, or manipulation (beyond the obvious hope of the project's coordinators that praying atheists will convert to Christianity).
