for
the
purpose
of
isolating
neurophysical
parameters
that
correlate
with
anomalous
cognition
performance.
Leading
personnel
candidates
identified
from
previous work
should be
used,
along with new
unique population groups.
Errphasis 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 other
(e.g. ,
audio)
or combined remote stimuli -
6. 1.1. 3
(U)
Perform
MEG
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
MBS
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.

moving
MEG
instrumentation
locations

help
better
isolate
precise
areas
of
the
brain
associated
with
anomalous cognition functioning.
6. 1.1. 6
(U)
Perform counterpart electroencephalograph
(EEG)
measurements for determining MEG/EEG correlations in general, and for select
variables examined in 6. 1.1.1 thru 6. 1.1.4.
6. 1.1. 7
(U)

involve
other
sensitive
biophysical
sensors

devices to determine if data
quality can be enhanced.
6. 1.2.2
(U)
Perform
anomalous
cognition
experiments
to
determine if various subliminal stimuli and/or lowered subliminal thresholds
can improve data quality.
6. 1.2. 3

facilitate data pattern recognition.
6. 1.2. 4
(U)
Explore
other
potential
variables
(e.g.
,
personality types,
training/internal
strategy)
that could effect anomalous
phenomena performance.
Ihis activity should include a detailed examination
of the
