This intuition research is very interesting. I remember reading some research that hypothesizes that information from the near future actually travels back into the past, and that information is perceptible: hence intuition. And the bigger the event, the bigger the perception.
A romantic comedy take would be really fun to see. Maybe a military/neurology researcher who's always letting his significant other down, missing birthdays, getting the wrong gift, misreading conversations, decides to use his intuition research to his own advantage and becomes the perfect boyfriend. And to comedic effect, no one wants the perfect partner. How annoying would that be!
So he's got to throttle his power without revealing the source of his new found relationship prowess. I can picture some funny couples counseling scenes.
The intuition premise reminds me of that Nick Cage movie Next, where his character could see the future. I'd go back down that well, but focus on a protagonist who is unwitting the subject of a intuition experiment, and uses his new powers of perception to track down who gave him this gift and curse.
