The hit rate shown in Fig.12 indicates that ESP is competent cugugh to transmit information aod that the assocation memory has an effect to reduce noises. This leads i a bypothecis that even weak ESP signals can transmit information, as un actual brain has an immense number Of neurons and a huge amount of association avewory ix involved in the process. 7 Psi-Missing and Sheep—aod—Goat Effect Whea coded information has closely related associatinn memory, the memory becomes a large noise, thus causing inevitable psi-missing(shown in Fig.12). Whew the association memory is the denial of ESP, nsi—missing oovues even if the ESP signal is received. ; This is scheep~and—goat effect. 8 Displacement Effect When the change of the amount of the stored memary is smaller thao that of the stored noise, displacement effect is likely to occure(Look at Fig.6). 9 Inteusity Probability Theory of Pai According tO the model established by Mr, Kokubo, the intensity probability of psi is certain figure, 0.01, regardless of the bit rate itecti, I would like to prove this by using the connectionisit model.

Chi (hi in Japanese) is thought i be the univeral life en ergy that permeates (he universe, Chi- gong anasters (keke la Japanese) claim to be adept at controtfing this cnergy. Ki may have a dighily differ- ent meaning in Japanese than chi in Chinese. This variation ia derived from both cultural and translation differ. ences. In Japanese, ki has diverse meanings: denki means electricity (den means thunder) and tenki means weather (ten ivaus heaven), Sume- times ki, by itself, means “vnergy.” Scientifically, it Is difficult to deflag exactly what Af is, In Chinese, chi is sometimes translated into English ay “gas” even though it is thought to be a form of energy. Although chi-gong Masters are part of the medical estab- lishment in some Chine hospiials, only a few such pracuiloners cure their clients using this methodology in Japan. Professor Otani has conducted vari- ous forms of psychical research which have not been published. A number al years ago, he conducted a survey of Japanese war widow's experiences. He polled 100 widows in each prefecture of Japan, finding that many report- ed apparitional experiences: coinciding with their husbands’ deaths during World War I], About one-third of the 2,200 questionnaires were returned. Al- though his analysis is still incomplete, Otani is categorizing the types, cloth- ing, actions and patterns in the impres- sions, as well at times of impression ver- sus time of incident. Although no case reveals perfect correspondence between actual cvents and the widow's impres- sions, vome cases reveal a high degree af colncidence. In a few cases, the hus hand, thought to be dead, returned safely. Otani has noted a wide diversity in the manner that the widaws inter. pret their experiences.

His fame and popularity have increased even more since he devoted time toward dissem- inating life-after-death informadon. Masuaki Kiyota, the Japancse metal bender, haz starred ina fictional movie, written a book aud appeared on vari- ous televisien programs, Although, In 1986, he semed to acknowledge on TV that he used trickery, a degree of controversy surrounds this incident and he denies “confessing” in the manner portrayed. Ife claims his “disclosure” was produced through creative cdit- Ing. During the early 1980s, Professor Otani conducted 9 series of experi- mente with Musuaki Kiyota, atteaipt- ing to ducument his ptychokinetic abil- ity on videotape. Otani videwtaped varluus events which suggest that some of Koyota’s perlormances are authen- tit.

On varlous uccasions, the spoon’s head slowly, but markedly, twists, without being touched, Otsni was present during these experiments and carefully inspected the spuxui both Lefore and after videotaping, Since the apoons’ tags are clearly discernible in theac segments, it would seem that the test spoons could not have been lam- peted with or switched. Otani hopes to produce a “perfect” segment of video- lape, one in which he demonstrates his precautions and procedwes, both be- fore and after the filming of the sub- ject’s efforts.
