All such investigations will be fully planned and coordinated with the OOTR and will be under the purviews of the SOC and the Human Use Review Committee. 5.5 (U) Should unforseen schedule of other issues arise concerning any of the specific tasks identified in section 6.0, the COIR will be given immediate notice. If necessary, adjustments to priorities and schedules can be approved by the OOTR if there is no cost or other impact on the over-all program. The OOTR will also review/approve all anticipated research protocols. 5.6 (U) All items in section 6.0 will be funded from R&D funding provided by this coritract;— and shall” be “expended NLT 18 months after ct™ award. Accounting procedures to clearly identify the R&D expenditures shall be implemented by the contractor. 5.7 (U) Terms of reference and additional task details are on file by the COrR and will be provided to the contractor to insure adequate task understanding.

Emphasis will be on sender/no sender conditions for phase shift parameters associated with remote light stimuli. 6.1.1.2 (U) -Perform MEG measurements as identified in 6.1.1.1 to include gther (e.g., audio) or combined remote stimuli. 6.1.1.3 (U) Perform MBG measurements as identified in 6.1:1.2 to include variations to the nature (e.g., pattern, intensity) of the remote stimuli. 6.1.1.4 (U) Perform MEG measurements as identified in 6.1.1.1 to determine if MEG results are influenced by changes to physical parameters (such as shielding, distance) of the remote stimuli. This effort may require the assistance of another cooperative laboratory. Additional instrumentation would also be required to resolve experimental timing issues.
