interaction
or
correlation
between
mind
and
body
has
puzzled
scientists
for
a
long
time.
As
far as
the
so-
called
psi
processes
are
concerned,
this
problem
becomes
even
more
profound.
Many
subjective
approaches
have
been

proposed
in
the histories
of
civilized
nations,
especially
in
that
of
the
ancient
Chinese.
However,
such
approaches
seem
to be incompatible with
the framework of Western
science after
its Renaissance at
the time of Galileo.
In
recent
years,
we have had
an excellent
opportunity
to
re-examine
this
problem
scientifically.
The
main
interest
of
the
Ps 1-Physics Group at
the
Institute of High
Energy Physics is^ocused^on whether^ there are any known or
unknown radiation signals associated .with
psi
p rocesses ,
and,
if__there are,
how to probe and understand them.
According
to
the ancient Chinese
view:
trAll
forms
of
matter
in the universe bathe one another with information,"
and the dynamic jpattems of their movements and changes give
rise
to certain structures,
as stated
in the
I Ching.
There
were many penetrating and
brilliant
claims
with
regard
to
psi
in
the ancient
Chinese
books.
To
cite a few here,
Lao
Tzu:
"Penetrating
the
void,
extremely,
keeping
still
firmly, then everything will operate, and
I can see all
aspects
of
a
thing;" Kangcang
Tzu:
"When
the body
matches
the mind,
and
the mind matches
the Chi
(or
Qi), ...
I can
see remote targets as
if they were under my nose
.
.
.";
Chang Tzu had similar words:
"Keeping in one-will,
one can
hear not with the ears but with the mind;
in fact,
not with
the
mind
but
with
the
Chi ."
The ancient
Chinese view
was
one of
the most beautiful models of an integral,
hologramic
and
dynamic
universe
In
ancient
civilization,
and
one
in
which the conception of Chi played a very important
role.
The Chi
is considered
today somewhat like radiation in
modem
physics.
but.there
is
a difference
in
that
the
Chi
concent
emphasizes
not
only
an
energy
aspect,
but
also an
ipfflyjnation .aspect.
Thus
, it is emphasized
that Chi makes it
possible" for., separated
bodies
to
transmit
information
as
.well as energy to one another.
Modern
physics has
proven
that
all
objec ts
in the
universe can emit
radiation.
Radiation phenomena associated
with
non-living
objects
in
the
field
of
nuclear
and
elementary particle physics have been intensely investigated
and are
still undergoing deeper
study.
But what about
living
objects?
Because
th e
sponta neous
radiation
associated with living objects
is very weak and intricate in
their normal state,

Is

Can one write R x P =

where R is

EHBF Radiation:
Special Features of the Time Response
Zhao Yonjie and Xujor^^g
Institute of High Energy Physics
-Mjing^^China
In early experiments we used standard nuclear emulsion
film
techniques
to
measure
radiation associated
with
exceptional human body function (EHBF).
Results showed
that
under certain special conditions of exceptional functioning,
individuals emit some
type
of
radiation which registers
on
film as would light.
To
follow up these results we carried out further
experimentation using a photomultiplier
tube measurement
system
as
a detector
of EHBF
radiation.
In this
work,
signals were detected in measurements monitoring individuals
with
special
skills.
The
following
is
a summary
of
these
measurements.
For
the first
series
of measurements we used a system
for which the background count rate was about
100 counts per
6-sec
interval.
During
experiments
to
measure
EHBF
radiation, peak count
rates
reached approximately 10
counts
per
6-sec
interval,
an
increase
of
to
orders
of
magnitude relative
to the background.
The accompanying
figure
(Fig.
1)
is
of
the output
of
a standard multichannel
analyzer.
With
the
scale
set
to
observe
count
rates
associated
with
EHBF
radiation,
the
background
count
rate
does not show in
this figure because of
its small magnitude.
Over the period during which we measured EHBF radiation
many times, we discovered that the radiation appeared in the
form
of
pulses
of
extremely
short
duration.
In
order
to
improve
the accuracy of
our measurements
of
EHBF
radiation,
we then assembled the following system.
In
this
configuration,
EHBF
radiation
detected
by
the
photomultiplier
tube
is
sampled
at
a
millisecond
rate.
The
output
of
the
sampling
circuit
is
fed
into
a
microprocessor,
which processes
the data and thus acts as a
radiation
monitor.
Using
this
particular
system
to
study
EHBF
radiation,
we are able
to
study such radiation in the
time domain.
When
one
examines
sequences
of
millisecond
intervals
during which EHBF radiation is detected,
one observes
three
kinds
of
typical behavior:

The above
sequences
were
obtained
during
efforts
of
a
little
girl
to
recognize hidden words
sealed
in an opaque
enclosure containing
the photomultiplier
tube.
The
changes
occurred
during
the
time
she
recognized
a
word
correctly.
For comparison,
the background count rate typically does not
exceed
4 counts per millisecond interval.
The above
results
Indicate
that
EHBF
radiation
occurs
during
time
Intervals
of
only
a
few
milliseconds,
and
in
some cases may occur as pulses of less
than
1 msec duration.
In other
words,
whenever radiation appears,
the appearance
is very short, and the transient change is extreme [emphasis
added
- Ed.].
Although in our experiment
it would appear that we have
measured
light,
this
does
not
necessarily
mean
that
EHBF
radiation Is
In
the form of
light.
All we can say is
that
in
this
test
we
have
obtained
the
particular
effect
described.
Since the enclosure containing a word to be
recognized
is
opaque
to
light,
one
possibility
is
that

EHBF radiation signal has
the special property of being able
to penetrate the shielding material, whereupon the radiation
interacts with other
material within
the
enclosure
to
produce
light.
This
signal
is
then
registered,
and
it
is
the measurement
of
the
light
signal
which reveals
the
temporal
characteristics
of
the
EHBF
radiation.
Therefore,
the actual carrier mechanism
involved
in
EHBF
radiation
is
still an open question
that
requires further study.
