December 1982 EHBF radiation signal has the special property of being able to penetrate the shlelding material, whereupon the radiation interacts with other materf{al within the enclosure to produce light. This signal is then registered, and it a the measurement of the light signal which reveals the temporal characteristics of the EHBF radiation. Mere the actual carrier mechanism involved in FHBF radiation is still an open question that requires further study. COUNTLRATE DISTAISUTION COUNT-RATE AMPLITUDE Fig. 1.

BIODETECTOR EXPERIMENTS ON HUMAN BODY RADIATION PHYSICS Zhao, Yong jie,, Xu, Hongzhang, Shen Jing, Liu Athua Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of High Energy Physics ... Beijing, China (Ziran Zazhi [Nature Magazine], Vol. 4, No. 8, August 1981) This article demonstrates an interesting approach to studing ‘exceptional human functioning, yet unfortunately it lacks some important tech- nical details and does not offer statistical evaluation of the obtained results. Nevertheless, we think it worthwile to present this approach to our readers, and we will continue the discussion of these experiments in our next issue ~ Ed. 1. Studies of the Physical Mechanism of Human Body Radiation For the past year we have concentrated our efforts on developing physical methods for detecting radiation ~—~Sesociated with exceptionat human functioning. We have discovered a detection method that uses nuclear emulsion film and negative X-ray filn. Using this method, we observed multiple exposures produced by radiation emitted from persons who were demonstrating exceptional capa~ bilities. Among these exposures were images of written Chinese characters that were recognized by exceptionally gifted individuals, as well as traces and special patterns from objects that were influenced by specially gifted persons. In our experiments. the. radiation emitted by exceptionally gifted persons was directly detected by a _ Sony mae oer phototube, while hotographic film isolated in a Light-proof box indirectly detected this same radiation. We also used a biodetector [described below] to successfully record the radiation of persons with exceptional energies and persons who have learned to control their muscles and mental Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300420002-7
March 1982 PSI RESEARCH energies. The results obtained with these different measuring devices were positively correlated, in that each time a character was correctly recognized, a response from the respective detector was recorded [either the above types of film were exposed or the biodetector produced an electric signal]; when the characters were not recognized, there was no response from either of the detectors. This paper presents our experiments with the biodetector. We do not, as yet, know what is the actual carrier of the special- energy radiation of the human body. There are two views concerning this problem: One view holds that we are dealing with with a known, purely physical and chemical phenomenon. According to the other view, the observed phenomenon is totally unknown and is not simply physical or chemical; rather, it is related to an unfamiliar state of matter which is intimately connected with the phenomenon of life itself. The radiation emitted by exceptionally gifted persons possesses strong penetrative power, and can be willfully controlled, directed, developed, and adapted. It also has other peculiar properties which cannot be explained by purely physical terms. The latter point appears to support, to a certain extent, the position of those who believe that the observed phenomenon-cannot—be-exptained in-known physical termss—-~----o-- Yet, in order to thoroughly clarify this question, we need to develop new types of detectors and biodetectors. Our experiments represent preliminary steps in this direction. 2. The Basic Structure of the Biodetector The concept "bio" pertains to a living body. As the primary sensitive element of the detector, we used a living system, which was connected to an electrical circuit (Fig. 1). The entire experimental apparatus consisted of the biodetector, an amplifier, and a recording device. (1) The biodetector consisted of a fuqianhua [a floating plant] leaf, a sample box and two detector needles. Both detector needles were carefully inserted into the leaf’s main vein at a minimum depth. As soon as the needle’s point was inserted, the attached voltmeter reacted. 78 Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R0003004 Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : GIA-RDR96-0 1999 6-00792R000300420002-7 PSI RESEARCH If it indicated a reading of the detecto gS of from J to 4 voltage by 5 as tor ale (since the amplifier ines d the Oo the Sed the needle > potential of points in the leaf Surface was from eenvantnd detector need] > the i ° volt). es was consid position of the value of ered to be ina of background pulsation on the recontine'g The peak : Pparatus it E was not difficult to find the right need showed that Position, The plant leaf 7 needles for the detector, We system.

sects ners pee March 1982 evaluated the correlation between these tests. Our experimental apparatus first reacted in March 1980, while we were testing the little girl, Yen. Due to the continuous technical improvement of our detector, the following exceptionally gifted persons were subsequently tested successfully: Yu from Hebei province, little Jie from Wuhan, Mou from Hetlongjiang province, and others. Fig. 2 presents an oscillogram of the radiation produced by Yu’s recognition of the characters "sheep" and "oxen." Many successful tests were made with the specially gifted persons, Cao from Beijing and Liu from Jilin province. There was a strong correlation between the correct recognition of the characters and the signals recorded by the detector (see the oscillograms on Fig. 3). During the time of mental concentration, specially trained persons [qigongren, i.e, individuals practicing the ancient Chinese art of Qigong, which includes movement, breath control, and meditation] could also be tested with this detector (see Fig. 4). From the above experiments, we have reached the following conclusions: — Festal wr ec ncenathi ela ATADT (1) The. biodetector can receive signals which appear in fe states_and_which are emitted by specially gifted or “tratned_persons. inorder to-answer_the question of whether or not the detector was influenced by known physical energies, we conducted a number of tests: we opened the box and lit up the detector with a strong 1,400 W jodine-wolfram electric bulb from a distance of 1 m We also lit up the detector with a very wide-spectrum 60 W bulb from a distance of 10 cm. We subjected the detector to the influence of a strong far-infrared 100 W iron, a near infrared radiation source, and a gamma radiation source from a distance of 10 cm. None of these influences produced any noticeable response. When the recognition of characters was tested with the box closed, even increased physical disturbance from outside could not influence the detector. From this we concluded that changes in the correlation between potentials recorded by the biodetector, and the subject’s state of mind, resulted from a stimulation of the leaf in the detector by a special human radiation which penetrated the box cover.

(2) The radiation from exceptionally gifted persons came, in, spurts “thus the oscillogram showed pulsations. The pulsating was relatively rapid, occurring in less than a second. If the exceptionally gifted person continued to have "flashes" in his brain, the oscillogram [the response of the biodetector] continued to indicate them, whereas the oscillographic ascent was relatively slow during emission from qigongren {specially trained persons]. (3) As to the extent of oscillation, it was. much greater during a unit of time for exceptionally gifted nana adi esters Pid ~ persons, than for others. Liu’s extent of oscillation during his strongest radiation was several volts; Yu's was about one volt. When they recognized a Chinese character, the extent of radiation changes could reach up to several hundred millivolts. For qigongren, during one second the maximum changes reached the millivolt level. This might be the main reason why they could not recognize the Chinese characters. Yet, energy emissions by qigongren were maintained for a long time and could accumulate, 50 that their healing effects were satisfactory. Further study is needed as to the healing effects of exceptionally gifted persons.

This key problem must be overcome in future experiments. (2) Each leaf must not be used for too long. Generally, after two hours the sensitivity of a particular leaf decreases - 81
