Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500100002-6 The conclusion to be drawn from this experiment is that there is a strong indication that information was being transferred from one location to another through some as yet unidentified communication channel. B. Remote Temperature Control Experiment A second experiment was initiated to examine the active perturbation of the functioning of a laboratory device. The target chosen was a copper~constantin 30 WV/ °F thermocouple sealed in a 50 milliliter flask of helium gas at atmospheric pressure. (Helium was chosen at the request of Mr. Swann who described an affinity for helium following the original magnetometer experiment which involved cooling by liquid helium.) Mr. Swann's task was to learn to control the temperature registered at the thermocouple junction as it was being monitored by a Hewlett~Packard Model 425A DC microvoltmeter and displayed on a strip chart recorder. The use of feedback in an experiment of this nature is considered important both by Mr. Swann and by the experimenters. Following a learning period of several days' effort, an hour or so a day, Mr. Swann expressed confidence in his ability to perform the task. A rigid protocol was then followed in which the experimenter and Mr. Swann sat in fixed positions in the laboratory, Mr. Swann two feet from the target, experimenter four feet behind Mr, Swann.

Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500100002-6 | The data, shown in Figure 3, were obtained in the following procedure. After a 20-minute control period in which the temperature was stabilized, a predetermined random series of ten "heat" and "rest" commands were read out by the experimenter at 3~minute intervals. The recorded data indicates that nine of the ten commands resulted in changes in agreement with the commands. Control runs with other laboratory personnel under identical conditions yielded null results. Therefore it can be concluded that the control of temperature variations in a remote object is indicated. Further work in this area is necessary to determine from temperature distributions, shielding effects, etc., whether such control is due to an exquisite ability to control known physical effects or due to the activation of some paranormal mechanism.

Our hypothesis is that enhancement can be accomplished by allowing the user of the machine to become consciously aware of his own mental state at those times when he is most successfully employing his extra sensory faculties. With increased conscious awareness of this mental state, we hypothesize that he is then able to bring his otherwise intermittent faculties . under his volitional control. An important feature of the machine is that the choice per se of a target is not forced. That is, the subject may press a PASS button on the machine when he wishes’ not to guess. Thus, with practice, the subject can learn to recognize those states of mind in which he can correctly choose the target. He does not have to guess at targets when he does not feel that he "knows" which to choose. When the PASS button is pushed, the machine indicates what its choice was, and neither a hit nor a trial is scored by the machine which then goes on to make its next selection, We consider this elimination of forced choice to be a significant condition for learning to enhance extraordinary perception abilities. When the user of the machine indicates his choice to the machine, he is immediately and automatically informed of the correct answer. Until that time both experimenter and the subject remain Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500100002-6 7
Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500100002-6 ; ignorant of the machine's state until the subject has made his choice; thus, the experiment is of the double-blind type. Because the user obtains immediate information feedback as to the correct answer, he may be able to recognize his mental state at those times when he has made a correct response. If the information feedback to the user were not immediate, we hypothesize as much learning would not take place and less or no enhancement would be achieved. The machine operated in a mode in which a run of trials continued until 20 misses were accumulated. At that point the run was terminated and the number of hits/run (excess trials over 20) were recorded. Data with this machine were obtained on seven separate occasions, resulting in the plot of Figure 4. Total scoring was at the p = 0.35 level and therefore did not differ from chance significantly (due perhaps to Mr. Swann's expressed distaste for working with machines). However, the general increase in the number of hits/run over the seven- run period indicated a learning trend as in the target location experiment of Section A. A least-squares fit linear regression curve (learning curve) indicates a learning rate of 0.7/run (p = 0.07 significance level). 8 Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500100002-6

Additional Areas Indicating Further Investigation Of further significance, but difficult to evaluate quantitatively at this point, was a number of subjective observations reported by Mr. Swann during the course of experimentation. Mr. Swann is extremely ' articulate about subjective impressions, visualizations, etc., which leads. to the possibility of building up a coherent picture over a long period of experimentation which can then be tested objectively. Examples include his inner perception of helium gas as yellow (perhaps related to the known resonance in the yellow portion of the spectrum), his use of visualizations of scanning beams in perception experiments, his reported subjective impression of scanning beam diffraction into a rainbow when a quartz prism was the target, observations that extra- normal vision is weakest in the visible portion of the spectrum where dependence on ordinary human vision predominates, etc. If such observa- tions can be brought into a pattern and correlated with objective measure- ments, significant insight into extraordinary human functioning could be expected.

Perception experiments in which he was asked to identify and draw the contents of opaque sealed envelopes, to identify a die face concealed in a metal box, and to find objects hidden in one of ten identical film cans. - 2. Experiments involving physical effects in which he was asked to interact with laboratory equipment by perturbing the experimental apparatus without physical contact. All experiments were monitored by simultaneous filming, video- taping, sound recording, and, where appropriate, laboratory instrumenta- tion. The experiments performed with Mr. Geller are summarized below in writing and a film covering the experimentation is in progress. A. Probability 1/6 Double-Blind Dice Box Experiment A double-blind experiment was performed in which a single die was placed in a closed metal box. The box was vigorously shaken by one of the experimenters and placed on a table. The orientation of the die inside the box was unknown to the experimenters at that time. Mr. Geller would then look at the box without touching it and call out which die face he believed was uppermost. He gave the correct answer each of 8 times the experiment was performed. The probability that this could have occurred by chance alone is approximately one in a million. The experiment was actually performed ten times, but on two occasions the subject said his perception was not clear and he was allowed to pass.

Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500100002-6 B. Probability 1/10 Hidden Object Experiment For this experiment ten identical aluminum film cans with stainless steel tops were placed in a row. An outside assistant not associated with the research would place the cans in a random position and put the target object into one of them. He would then put caps on all the cans and leave the experimental area, notifying the experimenters that the experiment was ready. The experimenters, who were not aware which can contained the object, would then enter the room with Geller (i.e., the experiment was carried out in a double~blind fashion). The subject would either pass his hand over the row of cans or simply look at them. He would then call out the cans he felt confident were empty, and the experimenter would remove them from the row. When only two or three cans remained, Geller would announce which one he thought contained the target object. He had no difficulty identifying the location of water, steel ball bearings and small magnets. This task was performed twelve times, without error. The probability that this could have occurred by chance alone is about one in a trillion. On two occasions he declined to answer. One of the targets that apparently “stumped” him was a paper-wrapped metal ball bearing. The other was a sugar cube. Cc. Picture Drawing Experiment In this experiment simple pictures were drawn on 3x5 file cards. The field of possibilities of target materials was at no time revealed to Mr. Geller. The pictures were put into double-sealed envelopes by an outside assistant not associated with the experiment Approved For Release 2003/04/18 :10IA-RDP96-00787R000500100002-6

C.
Protocol
A rigid protocol
for experimentation
in the area
of psycho-
energetic research has been instituted
in order to carry out
the
assigned
tasks.
1.
Because
of
the history
of charlatanism in
this
area,
one
of our basic operating assumptions has
to be
that we cannot exclude
the possibility that
a
subject will hoax
if
given* an opportunity.
To
handle
this,
we consider
it
important
to design experiments
a) which
are totally under
the design and control of
the experimenter rather
than the subject,
and
b) which are considered
in their basic design
to be cheatproof.
Specifically,
if
in
the performance of
an experiment
or
in
the evaluation afterwards
it
is
found
that
the results could
in Principle be duplicated by cheating or stage magic,
then
that
experiment
is
to be considered void,
even when there
is no evidence
of cheating.
2.
Given the nature
of
the phenomena,
any prejudgment or bias
on
the part of
the experimenter,
whether "pro” or
"con",
is more likely
to affect the experimentation,
results,
and
their evaluation
in
this
area
than
in any other area
of behavioral research.
Therefore,
we
consider
it important
to design experiments which
a)
can be carried
out using double blind procedures and
b)
can be evaluated by objective
measures independent
of experimenter belief
structures.
