As the RVer becomes aware of the first few data bits, there appears to be a largely spontaneous and undisci- plined rational effort to extrapolate and "fill in the blanks." This is presumably driven by a need to resolve the ambiguity associated with the fragmentary nature of the emerging perception. The result is a premature internal analysis and interpretation on the part of the RVer. (For example, an impression of a city is immediately interpreted as New York City.) This we call Analytical Overlay (AOL). (U) Our investigation of these overlay patterns suggests a model of RV functioning. With the application of a "stimulus" (e.g., the reading of a coordinate), there appears to be a momentary burst of "signal" that enters into awareness for a few seconds at most, and then fades away. The overlays appear to be triggered at this point to fill in the void. Success in handling this complex process requires that 3 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001800320001-8

Observation of this process in earlier development work suggests that the above behavior can be learned. (U) As indicated earlier, the RV training procedure is structured to proceed through a series of stages hypothesized to corre- spond to stages of increased contact with the target site. These stages (described in more detail below) are tutored in order, with presentation of theory followed by a series of practice sessions--taking a few weeks per stage. The RVer thus moves up through the stages, concentrating on the elements to be mastered in each stage before proceeding to the next. In the development work that preceded this study, it was found that an experienced remote viewer applying the techniques that are learned in this procedure tends to recapitulate the stages in order. The contents of the six stages (as evolved in the development work) are as shown in Table 1, and the techniques employed in the stages are described in the following paragraphs. 2. (U) Stage I (Major Gestalt) (U) In Stage I, the RVer is trained to provide a quick- reaction response to the reading of site coordinates by a monitor. The response takes the form of an immediate, primitive "squiggle" on the paper (called an ideogram), which captures an overall motion/feeling of the gestalt of the site (e.g., wavy/fluid for water). Note that this response is essentially kinesthetic, rather than visual. 3. (U) Stage II (Sensory Contact) (U) In Stage II, the RVers are trained to become sensitive to physical sensations associated with the site, i.e., sensations they might experience if they were physically located at the site (heat, cold, wind, sounds, smells, tactile sensations, and the like). Again, this response is essentially nonvisual in nature (although color sensa- tions may arise as a legitimate Stage II response).
