Verbal Description of Project
SRI International
is tasked with working toward the development of
training procedures
that will accommodate future DoD needs.
Under investi-
gation is
a training procedure developed by an SRI remote viewer consultant,
I.
Swann.
The procedure focuses on improving reliability of remote viewing
by controlling those factors that tend to introduce noise into the RV
product
.
The Swann procedure is based on the observation that, with the appli-
cation of a
’’stimulus'’
(e.g.,
the reading of a coordinate) there appears
to be
a momentary burst
of "signal" that enters into awareness for
a
few
seconds and then fades away,
it
is at this point that imagination appears
to be triggered to fill
in the void, producing noise due to associational
and analytical overlays.
The techniques designed to handle the above noise problem involve
(a)
repeated coordinate presentation and quick-reaction response on the part
of the remote viewer to minimize imaginative overlays,
(b) the use of
a
specially-designed acoustic-tiled featureless room with homogeneous
coloring
to minimize environmental overlay, and
(c) the adoption of a limited monitor
role behavior to minimize monitor overlay*
The training proceeds through a series
of six stages
of proficiency,
hypothesized to correspond to six stages
of increasing contact with the
target site.
These are outlined in the following table.

During FY'82 these procedures under development are being transmitted
to three inexperienced SRI remote viewers and to three
INSCOM viewers
selected by the
client.
The purpose
is to investigate technology transfer
to new trainees
(as
contrasted with the FY'81 program in which the technology
was transferred, with success,
to experienced viewers).
The theory sessions
are complemented by practice sessions
consisting of extensive targeting
on sites around the world by coordinate remote viewing, with feedback being
given on the basis
of material available from National Geographic magazines,
world aeronautical
charts,
etc.
Both the Program Leader
(Puthoff) and DIA
COTR
observe
the theory class
and act
as monitors for several
of
the RV sessions
in order to monitor progress of the training program.
"Exams'' on the progress
of the training program are then provided periodically
by selection
of
special
targets by
and by operational RV tasks
(See Section
III).

Verbal Description of
Project
The Operational RV Task has
as
its requirement the generation of RV
transcript material in response to client-generated requests
for
data on
operational
sites
or events
of interest
to the
client.
Such requests are
forwarded to the RV group at
SRI
International through the on-site DIA
COTR, who maintains
control
of operational activities
on the program.
Responses
are obtained from the
SRI RV consultants,
often on a quick-
reaction basis, and the results forwarded to the
client
for use and
evaluation.
Evaluation sheets prepared by the user are then returned to
the
SRI evaluation team for use in assessing overall RV performance
as
determined
by this form of "field testing/'
Such results are then entered
into
a
computerized data-base-management system to provide information useful
in selecting RV consultants
for
certain tasks,
etc.

Develop a method/technique

can be used to evaluate
data derived
from coordinate remote viewing.
The method will allow for both absolute
and comparative measure of
the success
of each remote viewing session.
It will
deal with both
the amount
of
correct data and

it
is
correct

Verbal Description of Project:
The
goal
of
the RV evaluation project
is
to provide the
sponsor
with
a technique
to assess the accuracy and reliability of RV data.
To
accomplish
this,
however,
it
is necessary to define the problem within
the context
of
the client’s needs.
It
is also necessary
to account for
the particular abilities of
the
subjects under evaluation.
