To make a critical review of literature and scientific developmants related to the recording, analysis and intorpretation of bioelectrio signals from the hunan organism and activation of hunan bohavior by remote means.

As it is visualized, the task should begin with a general survey of research and insgrumentation in a number of fields, including neurophysiology, biophysics, anatory, physiological psychology and neuropsychiatry, as wəll as electronics. telqmetry and comunications engineering. At the samo time that bibliographic and related activity is initiated, correspondcnce should be undertaken with all laboratories, companies and agencies working in or carrying out activities related to designated areas of the broad survey problem. Visits to laboratories naay be undertaken if needed,

The divilsions of the problem fall naturally into five main areas: (1) bioelectric sensors: sources of significant elestrical potential and methods of pick-up; (2) recording: asplification, electronic tape and other multi-channel recording; (3) analysis: autocorrelators, spectrua analyzers, ete. end coordination with automatic data processing equipment; (4) standardization of data for correlation vith biochenical, physiological and bəhavioral indices; (5) technics of activation of the hanan organism by remote electronic means.

Progress has been made and the list of laboratories, investigators-and resources in the Bioelectronic study is in preparation.

General agreement was expressed that this survey would be very useful vhen corplete. It was folt, hoveyer that three points should be stressed with with the last two being conveyed by him to

(1) This is a project with an end point. Any further proposals by sterrting from this project, would be reviewed separately on their owu merits.

(2) A deadline should be agreed upon for production of the survey -- probably March 1961.

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE RECORD

TSD/Research Branch

[PAGE 26]
Our work toward an annotated bibliography and an interpretive survey of work being done in psycbo-physiology has progressed fairly woll. We can now sse tho major portion of the problen and run a fair estimate of its costs. It is somowhat more expensive than we first contemplated. My first estimate was about \$2,500.00 but more work 1s being done that must be evaluated than I realised, It now appears that tho final cost will bo about \$6,370.00.

I do not believə it is appropriate to handle this kind of effort on a consultant's basis as we had originally intondod, Instead, I think it shçuld be established as a research task to be fuoded separatoly with perhaps somo arrangenent for intiating some research which appears to be of value aftor the survey has been reported next December. As I. mentioned in ry telepbone conversation, sometime in late June will provido a listing of all of the laboratories and tasks which have cone under ręview by his joint group of physicians, psychologists and enginecrs. Evaluation of tho research will-come-later.

One of the projeots cn uhich ue ere prepsred to bagin iasediataly is a critieal review of literatata and sciontifio dovelopoonts rolated to tho recording, analysia and intsrprotation of bicoloctrie signels Iroa the human oreaoiaa end activation of husn bohavior by pamoto MOEN3.

is initiatod, correspondence should be vndortsken with ell laboratorios, companies and ngencies vorking in or carrying out activities related to designated aroes of the broad survey problem. Visita to laboratories nay ba undortaken if nseded.

It appsars that about mid-vay through the study, a conforonce may be valuable to discvse the material accumulatod and the problczs foraulated, as a guica to futura research and çovelopment, This conference is not budgotsd at preecnt, bat might bo Kept in aind for plamming parposos, At this time wo are not propared to suggoot nases of conforees, since we balieve that the present list should undorgo modification in ths survey. !

The divisions of tho problea fall naturally into five main areas: (1) biosloctric sensorsl sources of cignificont electrical potential end kethods of pick-ap; (2) recording: caplificatien, olectronio tapa end otber multi-channel recording; (3) analysis: autocorrelators, epectrua anelyzora, eto. and coordination with cutonatic data procossing equipmont; (4) stendardization of data for corrolation with bicchosical, physiological and behavioral indices; (5) tochnics of activation of ths human organisa by ronote oloctronic eoans.

Initially wo believe that a coaprchensive roport could be ccmpleted within 12 ponths, with a total budgot of \$350o. One thoueand dollars would represent ths cout of a part tine stonographsr-typiot. About \$80o. is contesplatod for coosultation, \$500. for travel, snd the balence for roferonce naterlale, bibliographic assistance and library servicos.
