These included: * All the data for each trial from the summary disk (redundancy check), * All parameters of the sequential analysis used to analyze the trial in question, * Two bytes of data for each sample, one byte for the random 8-bits acquired for that sample and one byte of count-rate information for secondary analysis (i.e., B-decay rate or the number of voltage zero crossings from the noise diode), * Target bit position, F, Trial Invalidation Requirements (U) aE EON He GUITPeMeNnts (U) The two random sources were equipped with appropriate hardware failsafe circuitry. Nonetheless, to account for possible hardware/software ’ failures, we designated, in advance, the following certain conditions under which data would be rejected as invalid, i.e., not counted as part of the formal series: * If the battery power supply dropped below a preset level, or various other hardware parameters exceeded their prespecified operating ranges, the source output was inhibited. The system program detected this state and by software forced a "pass" condition for that trial. The trial just prior to system "shut down" was labeled "invalid" regardless of its particular statistic. e As a further cross-check against possible source hardware difficulty, a trial was labeled "invalid" if the raw data contained five contiguous samples of identical data bytes, The probability of this occurring by chance alone is less than one part in 1022 | Because there was no prior evidence that such large-scale effects occur in RNG Systems, we concluded that such a sequence of data bytes would most likely have resulted from momentary hardware failure. 24 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001300210001-5 ee  ——————————

Pilot Phase (U) (U) Seventeen SRI International employees were chosen to take part in the pilot phase of this program, They were selected purely upon their own expressed interest in participating in such a program, rather than on any previous RP experience. During this phase, although the sample rate was fixed at 125 s each subject was allowed to select his favorite time of day, his preferred experimenter, the source which seemed to “work” best for him, and the number of trials he would do at a single sitting. (U) Two general experimental parameters emerged from the pilot phase. First, it became rapidly apparent to the experimenters that an arbitrary limit of five trials/session seemed optimal. If the subject continued much beyond this limit, he became bored with the task and began to initiate each successive trial in a "mechanical" or rote fashion, (U) Secondly, we felt that more interesting feedback displays might only serve to divert the subject's attention from the RP task; therefore, we decided not to design alternatives to the display of the sequential sampling decision lines, Neither of these two viewpoints were based on sufficient data to be statistically significant, but the pilot success rate of a number of subjects indicated that these conditions should be included in the formal portion of Phase II. (U) Because the participants contributed varying numbers of trials, our selection criteria for the formal phase included not only the scoring rate, but also the subject's interest and availability for a three-month period. Table 3 shows the pilot results for each of the seven subjects who were finally chosen for the formal experiment, and an asterisk indicates 27 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001300210001-5

(U) The protocol required 1000 trials for each subject. The results of these controls are shown in Table 4 and were analyzed in runs of 100 trials. (U) The general expression for the expected number of successful runs is: where Ne is the number of runs and P is the probability of a single successful run, (U) The probability of obtaining five or fewer successful trials is < 0.024 (six is not significant). Thus, for this case No = 70, P. = 0,024 and N, = 1.7, The asterisks in Table 4 indicate those runs with significantly too few successes: The chance probability of this occurring is p = 0,027. (U) Similarly, the probability of obtaining 16 or more successful trials is Ss 0,040 (15 is not significant). Therefore N, = 70, p = 0,040, and N = 2.8, The daggers in Table 4 indicate those runs with 16 or more successful trials: the expected number is three and two were observed (not significant). (U) In the overall, two-tailed case five runs are expected to show some significant deviation, and seven were observed. This result is not significant and confirms that the long-term parent distribution was binomial. 29 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001300210001-5

If, then, we interpret the survey results in accordance with this hypothesis, the odds are greater than 2500:1 against the chance that the expanded data base would have so many successful experiments. If we consider the com- plexity and time constraints of the various experiments, it seems unlikely that selective reporting can account for the survey results. (S) The results might possibly be accounted for by subtle, yet quite ordinary influences, As mentioned in Section II, we noticed four major areas in which the survey was incomplete, which prevented us from properly assessing these influences, The possibility of such influence was one of the principle reasons for repeating the experiment. In our experiment we attended to the insufficiencies as follows: e As reported in May and Hubbard” we performed detailed analyses of the physics associated with the random sources and determined their particular sensitivities to environmental parameters. We noted that the diode was mildly sensitive to temperature, and it was monitored throughout the experiment, (There were ho significant correlations of small temperature fluc- tuations with statistical successes). A quantum 33 SECREL.. Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001300210001-5

We have shown two such possibilities in Figure 4. ~ (S) In those situations that involve weapons fire control, an individual is responsible for either the actual firing of the weapon, or for the initialization of an automatic fire-control sequence, Trained personnel could significantly increase the kill probability of the par- ticular weapons system by "psychoenergetically selecting" the optimum time to initiate the fire sequence. A PDS ability would be particularly valuable for antiaircraft personnel in a combat situation. (S) Because PDS does not require some form of physical interaction, it is possible to consider pseudo-random environments, as well, Thus, as shown in Figure 4, any Monte Carlo simulation situation such as war games, must be considered as susceptible to PDS. For example, in assessing strategies by war game techniques, pseudorandom algorithms are consulted to assess weapons performance, If PDS is the mechanism that predominates in RP interactions, it is possible that an operator might bias the re- sults toward a favored strategy by PDS, leading to a misassessment of its effectiveness, (S) If the phenomenon is mediated by genuine remote perturbation interactions, and systems other than electrical random number generators can be influenced, a different category of applications must be considered, Two such applications are indicated in Figure 4. (S) First, there are subcomponents to guidance systems that might be particularly sensitive to RP. For example, the electromechanical restoring circuitry contains elements that have appeared to be influenced by RP in quasi-laboratory experiments. If these results were confirmed in controlled laboratory studies, even weak RP, judicially applied, could alter a trajectory to a very significant degree. 39 SECRET” Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001300210001-5

Evidence in the parapsychology literature” indicated that RV phenomena are accompanied by associative RP effects, In those experiments, assumed sensitive "detectors" (e.g, a strain gauge’® ) appear to change concomitantly with RV efforts, In the experiment described in this report, it was the subjective assessment of the three best-scoring subjects, that at least part of the effect they were observing, was caused by their ability to focus their attention on the actual generating hardware, Thus, we can conceive of a multifaceted intrusion "detector" consisting of a variety of electronic components. Some or all of those components would have demonstrated susceptibility to RP in laboratory situations, Considering the current ability of our own remote viewers to penetrate secure facilities, we feel that it is important to develop such a detector system, 40 S£ERE— Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001300210001-5 eee Nf EEeEeEeEEe
