of this RV session are available through Air Force Grill
Flame channels and can be requested by INSCOM Grill Flame
personnel
if necessary.
The afternoon consisted of RV work with random noise
electronic devices
(successful
in that the device was perturbed
during the
RV)
and a two-hour discussion ofRV practices with
Hella Hammid,
a well known RVer who works with the SRI personnel.
c.
On
22 Aug
79,
SRI personnel conducted
a discussion
of the judging of previous
"beacon"
type RV sessions.
After
this discussion,
the rest of the day was used to
do RV of random
noise electronic devices
(successful)
and photographs.
For
the
first RV session of photographs,
the RVer was asked to pick out
the photograph he perceived from a
"pool"
of four photographs.
The RVer was able
to
do this.
This procedure was not continued
because it was not considered beneficial
to have the RVer
anticipating left hemispheric analysis of his own RV images.

79,
INSCOM personnel were asked to not
