The traveling experi- menter was to drive continuously from 10:00 until 10:30 before selecting his destination with a random number generator. (The motivation for continuous motion was our observation that objects and persons in rapid motion are not generally seen in the remote viewing mode of perception, and we wished the traveler to be a poor target until he reached his target site.) At the end of 30 minutes of driving, the traveling ex- perimenter generated a random digit from 0 to 9 with a Texas Instruments SR+51 random number generator; while still in motion, he counted down that number of envelopes and proceeded directly to the target location so as to arrive there by 10:45. He remained at the target site until 11:00, at which time he returned to the laboratory, showed his chosen target name toa security guard, and entered the experimental room. During the same period, the protocol in the laboratory was as follows. At 10:10, the subject was asked to begin a description of the place to which the experimenter would go thirty-five minutes hence. The subject then generated a tape-recorded description and associated drawings from 10:10 to 10:25, at which time her part in the experiment was ended. Her description was thus entirely concluded 5 minutes before the beginning of the target selection procedure. Four such experiments were carried out. Each of them appeared to be successful, an evaluation Later verified in blind judging 74 Approved For Release 2002/05/17 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500020001-6

We shall see in the next section that such a description, though poetic, has some basis in modern physical theory. 82 Approved For Release 2002/05/17 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500020001-6
Approved For Release 2002/05/17 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500020001-6 V DISCUSSION It is important to note at the outset that many contemporary physicists are of the view that the phenomena that we have been discussing are not at all inconsisyent withthe framework of physics. as currently understood. In this emerging view, the often-held belief that observations of this type are incompatible with known laws in prin- ciple is erroneous, such a concept being based on the naive realism prev- alent before the development of modern quantum theory and information theory. One hypothesis, put forward by I. M. Kogan, of the USSR is that information transfer under conditions of sensory shielding is mediated by extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves in the 300 to 1000 -km region [37 ]-L40]. Experimental support for the hypothesis is claimed on the basis of: slower than inverse square attenuation, com- patible with source-percipient distances lying in the induction field range as opposed to the radiation field range; observed low bit rates (0.005-0.1 bits/s) compatible with the information carrying capacity of ELF waves; apparent ineffectiveness of ordinary electromagnetic shield- ing as an attenuator; and standard antenna calculations entailing biolog- ically generated currents yielding results compatible with observed signal-to-noise ratios. 83 Approved For Release 2002/05/17 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500020001-6

Therefore, to indicate the design procedure, let us assume a baseline psi parameter Vp = 0.1 and design a communication system on this basis. The question to be addressed is whether, after repeated transmission, a given message bit is labeled a "1" at a low rate Po commensurate with the hypothesis Ho that the bit in question is a "0," or at a higher rate Py, commensurate with the hypothesis Hy that the bit in question is in- deed. a '1."' The decision-making process requires the specification of four! parameters: Po! The probability of labeling incorrectly a "0" message bit as a "1." The probability of labeling correctly a "0" as a "0" is p=0.5 +. ¥H=0.6. Therefore, the probability of labeling incorrectly a "O" as a "1" is 1 - p=0.4 5 Po: Py: The probability of labeling correctly a "1'' message bit as a "1," is given by pj = 0.5 + Up = 0.6. @:; The probability of rejecting a correct identification for a "0" (Type I error). We shall take o = 0.01. 68: The probability of accepting an incorrect identification for a "1" (Type II error). We shall take 6 = 0.01. With the parameters thus specified, the sequential sampling pro- cedure provides for construction of a decision graph as shown in Fig- ure A-l.
