Approved For Release 20000 FY CEASE Ort I BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW (U) A, Chronology of Major Events (U) (U) Although interest in exceptional human functioning has historically been part of China's tradition, "parapsychological"” or "psychoenergetics" studies have until recently been unacceptable as a subject of inquiry under Marxist rule, As recently as 1975, for example, the official journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Scientia Sinica, carried an article critical of increasing U.S. and Soviet interest in psychoenergetics.* (U) A reversal of this viewpoint can be traced to a report in the March 11, 1979, Sichuan Daily, which apparently acted as a trigger for renewed interest and exploration, In that report it was claimed that a 12-yr-old boy, Tang Yu, was able to read written material placed in physical contact with his ears. Although this claim was soon being criticized as unscientific in, e.g., The People's Daily in May 1979, reports began to sur- face from all over China that children elsewhere were duplicating this feat. (U) In September 1979, a major monthly science journal, Nature (Ziran Zazhi), carried a report entitled "Observation Report on the Non-Visual Recognition of Images." This report, written by a correspondent of the journal on the basis of his own personal observations, provided support for the claims.” The journal then followed up in its October-December issues with additional reports on experimental observations by scientists at Beijing (Peking) University and elsewhere, which provided additional evidence for authenticity of the claims,°~° *k (U) "Peking" is translated as "Beijing" in the newer Pinyin transcription system, declared the official system of the PRC in 1958. 1 Approved For Release 200d CLASSIFIER 00400320001-8
Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400320001-8 UNCLASSIFIED ‘(U) These reports caught the attention of scientists throughout China, many of whom assumed that some form of rudimentary biological function was at cause, since early reports typically involved "reading" through the skin, As a result, the initial approach to the phenomenon by the Chinese scientists parallels in many respects earlier similar work of Romains on "eyeless" sight’ and Soviet investigations into so-called "dermo-optic” perception.® From this beginning, such functioning in China goes under a rubric that translates as Extraordinary Human Body Function (EHBF). From its original association with 'skin-reading," this phrase has now been broadened to include the entire range of phenomena that in the West are called "parapsychological"” or "psychoenergetic," since it was not long before the reading of Chinese characters, numbers, etc. extended to experiments involving noncontact forms of the phenomenon (e.g,, use of sealed containers, long distances, and so forth). (U) As a result of growing scientific interest, in February 1980 the "First Science Symposium on the Extraordinary Function of the Human Body" was held in Shanghai, sponsored by the editorial department of the journal Nature. Participants from over 20 colleges and research institutes were in attendance, along with 14 children purported to possess EHBF skills, which they demonstrated at the conference.” As a result of these demon- strations a number of observers returned to their institutes to set up research programs, and rigorous investigations began in earnest. ((U) These efforts were followed by a "Second Science Symposium in the Extraordinary Function of the Human Body," held in Chongqing in May 1981. At that symposium a professional group, the "Preparatory Committee of the Chinese Human-Body Science Institute," was set up to act as an organizing structure for work in the EHBF area, (U) Throughout the 1980 to 1981 period a continuing series of papers on EHBF work were published in Nature, some of which have been translated 2 Approved For Release 2000/08] NICALRAPES p PRED 400320001-8

(U) In October 1981 the State Science Commission set up a special group to study EHBF phenomena, and in February 1982 the Chinese Academy of Sciences sponsored a public hearing on the phenomena, In both formats a wide spectrum of viewpoints was aired, including discussion of examples in which it was concluded that deception had occurred .?+ B. Official Policy (U) (U) Despite criticisms from some quarters (notably, sociologist Yu Kwong Yu) official acceptance of the potential importance of the study of EHBF phenomena can be inferred from four key events in the 1981 to 1982 frame. One is the appearance of an entry on EHBF in the China Encyclopedic Almanac of 1981 in its column on science and technology. Although carrying a cautionary note that "there are still some people holding skeptical attitudes with respect to the authenticity of the extraordinary function ft of the human body, the development of the study of EHBF is discussed. (U) A second indicator of official acceptance was the granting of permission for a visit to China in October 1981 by a delegation of American and Canadian parapsychologists, expressly to meet with Chinese researchers in the EHBF area, While in China members of the delegation had an * (U) American Association for the Advancement of Science. 3 Approved For Release 2000kek IN CLAS SIGHED 00400320001-8

(U) A third indication of official interest was the decision by the PRC government to send two official representatives to the annual inter- national convention of professional parapsychologists held in Cambridge, England, August 1982, These representatives, both Deputy Directors of the Institute of Space Medico-Engineering in Beijing, presented an authorita- tive summary of Chinese work in a Special Symposium on PRC Studies, chaired by Dr, H, E, Puthoff of SRI International. (CU) A fourth indication of official support for investigation of EHBF is provided by a statement by the Secretary-General of the Chinese * Communist Party (CCP), Hu Yao-pang: “This so-called Exceptional Human Body Function is not yet included in the different lines of present science which have been accepted. Therefore, before the real truth has been discovered, there should be no propaganda work on this subject, and for this reason there should be no antagonistic publication either. I think my two points are clear and fair. On this subject a group of a limited number of scientists should form a moderate-size research center to study and carry out experiments, and the results of their research work published for all those who are interested in SG1B this new line of science.’ ! * (U) Hu Yaobang in Pinyin transcription, 4 Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : SPOR PT 22R000400320001-8

China Psychoenergetics Tour--Introduction (U) (U) In October 1981 a group of 18 American and Canadian scientists, physicians and educators had an opportunity to visit the People's Republic of China, specifically for the purpose of meeting with Chinese researchers working in the EHBF area, The twelve-day stay, which took the group to the cities of Beijing (Peking), Xian, and Shanghai, was organized as a collaborative effort between a well-known American parapsychologist, Dr. Stanley Krippner, Dean of the Faculty of the Humanistic Psychology Institute in San Francisco, and Mrs, Shuhyin Mar, a retired University of Maryland mathematics instructor interested in EHBF phenomena, with family ties in China, Others in the group professionally involved in psychoenergetics research and members of the Parapsychological Association affiliate of the AAAS were, in addition to Dr. Krippner, Dr. H. E, Puthoff, researcher at SRI International; Dr. Marcello Truzzi, sociologist at Eastern Michigan University; Dr. Thelma Moss, psychologist/researcher in private practice; and Mr. Jerry Solfvin, Ph.D. candidate at Ri jksuniversiteit, Utrecht, (U) During the China stay, five formal technical meetings were held with scientists, physicians, and journal editors working in the EHBF field. The first was at the Friendship Hotel in Beijing; the second at the Beijing Medical College; the third, at Beijing University; the fourth at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of High-Energy Physics in Bei jing; and the fifth at the Yanan Hotel in Shanghai with the editors and staff of Nature. 7 Approved For Release 2ooohebIN CLAS SEVER 00400320001-8

(U) Note that those interested in psychoenergetics are primarily from the hard sciences, rather than from the psychological sciences as in the West. This is in large part because of the weaker position of the latter as a result of the excesses of the "Cultural Revolution," which led to suspension of Acta Psychologica Sinica and the closing of all university psychology departments as well as the Institute of Psychology.!* B.

Humphrey, researchers at SRI International; Mrs. Thelma Moss, who had done research in Kirlian (corona discharge) photography; and K, Zirinsky, MD, radiologist, (U) The group was welcomed to the Institute in an opening meeting by Institute Deputy Directors Ho Lung and Li Yi, They expressed the opinion that EHBF work was important and relevant to physics, and indicated that a small group of researchers, led by Zhao Yun-Je and Hsu Hung-Chang, spent approximately ten percent of their professional time researching EHBF, This was followed by a seminar in which the work and its results were presented by Zhao. (U) Their basic experiment, apparently replicated many times under widely varying conditions, consisted of the remote viewing of Chinese characters or numbers sealed in an opaque bakelite container, inside of which was also some form of detector to register possible physical effects corollary to the perceptions. The detectors used in this format included X-ray, nuclear emulsion, and photographic films, photoelectric tubes, thermoluminescence dosimeters, and biological (plant/polygraph) detectors. The claim made (backed up by raw data materials shown the visiting re- searchers, published pictures, and, later in the trip, motion picture film of the experiments) was that physical effects were registered during perception, and absent in the absence of perception, These included fogging of the films, and pulses on the electrical output devices of the various detectors.

Such factors, coupled with the degree of official sanction that exists, tend to lend de facto credibility to their claims. On the other side of the ledger, however, details as to countermeasures against the possibility of fraud, methodological procedures used, and the statistical treatment of the data are notably lacking in the brief publications to date, a weakness noted in general in the response of Western scientists to published reports on EHBF work by the Chinese.!* Definitive conclusions as to the technical quality of the work must there- fore await further development of information exchange, om Shanghai Meeting with Editorial Staff of 'Nature' ('Ziran Zazhi') (WU) (WU) Later in the trip the group of Western parapsychologists met at length over a two-day period with the staff and Editor-in-Chief, Mr. He Chongyin, of Nature (Ziran Zazhi), and from them obtained an overview of the experimentation, results, conferences and publication of the Chinese efforts. It was clear from these discussions that the Nature group played a seminal role in bringing together researchers in the Shanghai and Chongqing conferences of 1980 and 1981, and in providing space in their journal for the publication of results. (U) In addition to discussion, an hour of filmed EHBF research was shown, The film, made by Shanghai Science and Education Studio for tele- vision distribution within the PRC, showed a wide-ranging series of investigations, including mass screening of schoolchildren with regard to the capacity to "skin read," standard telepathy/clairvoyance tests over room-to-room distances, apparently successful "dowsing" to locate buried 10 Approved For Release 2000/04 NGLASSURLEA 100320001-8

(U) Generally speaking, the observations reported are in accord with what has been reported in the West. Specifically, from the work that had gone on, the Chinese condluded that e Extraordinary human body functions do exist, and they include in addition to the skin reading phenomenon first observed, other classical psychoenergetics functions such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis, « EHBF appears to be a universal inherent, though latent, function in all humans (based on Beijing University studies on induction of the phenomena in children), * EHBF phenomena are not shielded by materials such as paper, plastics, the human body, layers of soil, and metal, and so resist interpretation in terms of the present scientific paradigm. * EHBF "perception" extends beyond the visible range into the infrared and ultraviolet portions of the electro- magnetic spectrum, and the sign of magnetic fields can be discriminated, * Power levels on the order of 100 mW can be generated in EHBF functioning, as determined by psychokinesis experiments, e There appear to be interrelationships between EHBF functioning and elements of traditional Chinese concepts, as evidenced by shifts in dermal temperature and electro- dermal potential at acupuncture joints, interference with or strengthening of EHBF by qigong* meditational techniques, and the like, * (U) Pronounced "chigong," an ancient system of deep breathing and move- ment exercises said to promote health and well being. li Approved For Release oooh N CAS BLED, so100320001-8

Assessment (U) (U) The 1979-present period has seen a rapid mobilization of interest and resources in the PRC in pursuit of EHBF (psychoenergetics) research, In this short period large segments of the population have been screened and a number of individuals identified as possessing EHBF skills. (U) The skills cataloged are essentially identical to those gleaned by studies in the West and in the Soviet Union: various forms of acquisition of information that would appear to be inaccessible by normal sensory means because of such factors as distance and shielding (e.g., identifying written Chinese characters sealed in a box), and, to a lesser degree, the generation of small-scale physical effects (e.g., the fogging of film). There are, however, certain differences in research directions that reflect their scientists’ efforts to correlate research findings with certain distinctively national Chinese concepts. These include the search for electrophysiological correlates of EHBF functioning at acupuncture points, and the possible relationship between EHBF and qigong meditation/martial art practices, Through exploring these rich historical traditions scien- tifically, the Chinese scientists may well contribute fresh ideas to the study of exceptional human functioning, (U) As short as the 1979-present period of intense effort has been, focus on the phenomena has moved quickly from the media to the universities (e.g., Beijing and Yunnan Universities), research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (e.g., Institute of High-Energy Physics), and to the national laboratories involved in space/military research (e.g., Institute of Space Medico-Engineering, and an unnamed Air Force Institute?®), 17 Approved For Release ood CLA SAIEIED .10400320001-8

Institute of High-Energy Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences Bei jing The fact that the human body can develop the ability of exceptional vision (eyeless sight) suggests that in the natural world there may exist a unique, still unknown radiation. Since 1979, Szechuan Ribao, Beijing Keji Bao (Peking Science Report), Ziran (Nature), and other journals have published findings on exceptional capabilities of the human body. Using available techniques, we have conducted complex experimental research relating to methods of testing and measuring such unknown radiation. Among these techniques, the most effective are the following: (1) Tests with nuclear emulsion film and X-ray film (2) Tests with thermoluminescent film (3) Tests with a biodetector (4) Tests with a light quanta detector, Exceptional human capabilities can manifest as various types of phenomena, We realize that only by finding a precise, objective basis, and by gradually establishing controlled test methods, can we bridge research in exceptional human capabilities and present experimental science. Only then can we delineate the frontier between science and superstition. 25 Approved For Release 200d NICLAS SEB EB 000400320001-8
CPYRGH Approved For Release 20008 CERES Er was not clearly different from that produced by normal individuals, The design of the thermo- luminescent film test resembles that of the test with photographic film, Results of these tests partially confirm the results of the photographic film tests and provide a quantitative basis for some initial measurements, They not only show that during "exceptional vision" a strong unknown radiation is emitted, but also show that normal persons emit a relatively low, unknown radiation as well, (u) For these tests we used American film, made by the Harshaw Chemical Company: 6LiF, 7LiF, CaF, and Chinese film LiF (Mg, Ti). A thermoluminescent dosimetric analyzer produced by the Beijing Synthetic Apparatus Plant (Model FL-369) was used for evaluating results. TESTS OF UNKNOWN RADIATION WITH A BIODETECTOR The greatest disadvantage of photographic and thermoluminescent film tests is their failure to show kinetic response (changes in time), so that there is no way to study the delicate time specificity of unknown radiation. Both the biodetector and the light-quanta detector can demonstrate kinetic responses in a test system, but the various types of biodetectors provide more possibilities for experimentation. We have already used a set of simple biodetectors for measuring bioelectric changes in a plant leaf vein (Figure 4). Yet, because the main component of the biodetector is | * a living system (a plant leaf), we cannot expect that the system has sufficient stability. Nevertheless, because the degree of sensitivity obtained from this method is significant, and because it is relatively widespread and easy to operate, it will certainly arouse the interest of many researchers, * See Zhao Yongjie, Xu Hongzhang, et al., "Biodetector Experiments on Human Body, Radiation Physics,"' Psi Research, Vol. 1, No. 1. pp. 77-84 (March 1982), 28 Approved For Release 2o00/4al NGL ASS B46 0400320001-8

The other radiation sources used Cheat source, infrared light, and visible radiation), when influencing the biodetector, did not elicit responses of comparable sensitivity. Because moisture and chemical effects produced different responses, they were eliminated as possible causes. TESTS OF UNKNOWN RADIATION WITH A LIGHT-QUANTA DETECTOR The light-quanta detector overcomes the drawbacks of the biodetector, i.e., its lack of stability. It yields virtually the same results as the biodetector tests, although its degree of sensititivy may be insufficient for studying trained abilities. (For a design of the system see Figure 7.) The system, however, is equally sensitive with regard to visible light, near infrared, and near ultraviolet. At a wavelength of 4,400 A, the peak value of photon efficiency is about 20 to 30 percent. The system is also sensitive to electrons above the megaelectron-volt level, such as from a 90 Sr beta source. Our oscillographic observations, shielding, adequate grounding, and other measures eliminated the possibility of interference from environ- mental magnetic impulses. We simultaneously eliminated conditions for light leaks and wear and tear during the tests. Our tests have demonstrated that the system produced very strong impulse responses to the processes accompanying "exceptional vision." The leading edge of such impulses is extremely steep; the count value is Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400320001-8

The value of a plotter suddenly rose within a second from 1000 to 10,000 counts, while the control value was 80 + 20 counts every 6 s. Such a high-value ratio usually causes a multichannel analyzer to generate overload blocking. Individuals with "exceptional vision” must touch the surface of the light- proof material (many layers of black cloth), or their radiation will be outside of the "measuring area." All these factors obscure the above results to a certain extent, although these results do agree with the findings pertaining to the width of permeability and fixed-area selectivity yielded by the film tests. It is hard to imagine that ordinary photons or electrons could penetrate such material, reach the photocathode, and thus be recorded. This system can also elicit a corresponding response to unknown radia- tion ‘produced by normal persons exercising their trained abilities. Yet, compared to the special-vision process, the oscillation of their response signals will be much slower, and the intensity of pulsation much lower. Study of the spectrum of rise or fall of the count pulses in such responses demonstrates that the response spectrum of the unknown radiation coming from the exceptional vision process contains a maximum of high-amplitude count pulses. The trained-ability spectrum contains almost no high- amplitude count pulses (Figure 8). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The above four test methods, while still very rudimentary, are rela- tively basic and can be duplicated. Their results are mutually confirma- tory and supplement one another. The first steps have proven that, in the natural world, there exists an unknown radiation that is reciprocally connected with the life process. Compared with generally known physical radiation, this radiation has a more complex distribution in space and time. When recorded by the biodetector or photon detector, it demonstrates 30 Approved For Release 2000/0kd NGLASSIFIED 0100320001-8

Its pulsation intensity is at least 100 to 1000 times more than in control tests. There are no fixation periods, This radiation possesses a special penetrative ability and fixed-area sensitivity. Near target objects it has the effect of visible light. It has a physical basis resembling that of unknown radiation during the trained-ability activity of normal persons, We hope that our first steps will lead to more progress in research, REFERENCES 1.

This attracted the attention of Chinese scientists. A series of investigations were carried out thereafter on the extraordinary function of the human body, including "reading without using the eyes." Preliminary results obtained during the past three years are presented, and the perspective on future research in this field are discussed. Entrusted by the Chinese scientists who have engaged in research on the extraordinary function of the human body, the writers of the present paper will report on their concepts and efforts at this international congress, The Chinese scientists’ attitude towards the study in this field was serious, and they have made every effort to ensure that their investi- gations fulfill the criteria of scientific research. 1, General Background On 11 March 1979, it was reported for the first time in Sichuan Ribao that a 12-year-old boy, Tang Yu, in Dazu County, Sichuan Province, had been discovered to be able to “recognize the characters (Chinese ideograms) with Approved For Release 2000g4NKC 4 An 849 4-bd4Q000400320001-8

Conse- quently, more than ten teenagers who also had this kind of function were discovered one after another in Beijing, Anhui, Hubei, and other places, In September 1979, Nature Journal (Ziran Zazhi) carried a report on "Nonvisual Pattern Recognition" written by a correspondent of the journal on the basis of his personal observation, This article confirmed that the exceptional function of the human body, or, as it was depicted in the newspapers, "recognizing the characters with ears," actually existed and is worth studying. The journal then, in its issues Numbers 10 through . . . : : 1-4 : . 12 carried in succession other experimental observations by scientists of Beijing University, Anhui Teachers University, and other units, which verified the authenticity of the function, In February 1980, in Shanghai, the Nature Journal editorial department presided over the "First Science Symposium on the Extraordinary Function 1 of the Human Body,’ attended by representatives from eight provinces and three municipalities, After this the various exceptional functions of the human body, including "recognizing the characters with ears," became generally known as the "extraordinary function of the human body," which is now the general term being used in the Chinese literature. With the impetus of the symposium, the research work has developed further in various places, and in May 1981, the "Second Science Symposium on the Extraordinary Function of the Human Body" was held in Chongqing. Some famous scientists submitted their papers” and many others read their research reports at the symposium. Diverse thoughts from different schools were incorporated, but no conclusion was drawn at the symposium. Before the end of the symposium the Preparatory Committee of the Chinese Human- Body Science Institute was set up after deliberation and consultation, Afterwards, in January, 1982, the preparatory committee convened a special discussion in physics. 40 Approved For Release 2000/08 /) Nj C4 FAS SPEER 9 400320001-8
