It's generally accepted among
the scientists
interested
in
the subject
that what
is
popularly known
as ESP
is
a group of phenomena whose
existence
hinges
in
the
final analysis
on
the physical
Fields
that are

believed
to
be generated
by biological objects.
To study such
fields
a special
laboratory
has been set up at
the --Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics
of
the USSR Academy
of Sciences.
The lab
is
headed by^EELEduard
( ?5fltU&hl,
and
overall supervision
of
research
in
this area
is
in
the hands offir
Yuriy
rGulvayev,
a corresponding member of
the academy.
Some of
the
Findings
at this
lab appear
to
be of definite promise.
Most
important of all,
they have been
using highly advanced physical
instruments and
thus meet
the need
for more
rglfalSle daita~in this
fjeld T
which
has so often
in
the past been
flooded with data
that
could
hardly be said
to be
reliable.
[Woman
announcer]
What sort
of
findings
are you
referring
to at
this lab?
[Belitskiy]
I n
theffiTVe years
that
the lab has
been
in existence
its
-staff
of
physicists,
engineers,^nysioiogists,
and other specialists
have established
that jtxgxy living biological object gives
rise to
a
complex
pattern
of physical
fields.
Their distribution
in space and variation with
the passage of time'
yields valuable information which can
be used,
for example,
for purposes
of
medical diagnosis.

What
is
the nature of
this
physical
Field generated
by
a biological
object,
say
a human
being?
(c)

[Belitskiy] Every
human being generates quite
a number of physical
Fields:
infra-red,
thermal- radio, low-frequency electric,
magnetic,
acoustic,
bioluminescent and
others.
What
the scientists at
the lab are concentrating on
is siiienilfyinq
the type of
information about
the body
that
can
be derived
from
[Woman]
Such studies
can,
of
course,
provide medicine with valuable new
diagnostic
tools,
but what about
the problem of human
beings
receiving
information
via such external
physical
fields?
[Belitskiy] Well,
that will
clearly
be the _.next stag e of
the
research_
conducted at
the lab.
Obviously,
it's even more complicated
than
the
First
stage, since the body
in
this
case acts
as
a very
complicated
receiving system.
This
will
involve studies
of an entirely new dimension
involving Moohvsicists
and
psychophysiologists
as well
as
the scientists
I
mentioned earlier.
Such
studies,
too,
are definitely
planned,
and
it's quite possible they'll shed light
on
some aspects of what
is
known
to
the layman
as
ESP,
extra-sensory perception.
