Project Title: Fundamental Mechanisms Research ap M Major Objectives A number of models for psychoenergetic functioning are under consideration in the literature. These include electromagnetic (specifically ELF), quantum mechanical and multidimensional models. The objective of this project is to explore these models with regard to explicating phenomena observed to date, and with regard to generating specific predictions that can be explored experimentally. c. Specific Objectives Examine the theoretical structures of the various theories under consideration, specifically with regard to generating predictions that can be checked experimentally. Of special interest are predictions with regard to distance effects, velocity-of-propagation characteristics, shielding, and expected interaction effects with regard to fundamental quantum systems (photon, electron, radioactive decay, etc.) i d.

Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002100230001-3 Project Titles Theory/Conferences Major Objectives: The objective of this task is to ascertain under the strictest of scientifically critical conditions, the most stable of the psychoenergetic data. It is only with such a database is it possible for physics/psychology theorists to construct models of psychoenergetic functioning. The primary objective, then, is to produce testable theoretical models of the psychoenergetic process. Specific Objectives: (1) Obtain a stable database of psychoenergetic data. (2) Set quidelines for for theoretical investigations. (3) Conduct "goal oriented" theoretical studies. Implementation of Proposed Objectives: (1) To obtain a database of psychoenergetic data, we would convene the past and present most productive researchers in the field for the purpose of determining the most stable data. This would be done in the context of determined scientific self criticism. (2) From the report from (1) above, a set of quidelines would be drafted to suggest research directions that would be the most productive. (3) Convene interested physics/psychology theorists to assign tasks. The purpose is to produce models of psychoenergetic functioning that have specific testable hypotheses. (4) Related projects: This kind of investigation is fundamental to all aspects of psychoenergetic research, but the countermeasures line is the most directly affected. (S) Funding/manpower requirements: 3 manyear effort, in-house and consultants. $450K (estimated) (6) Timing: 24 months Deliverables: oe Reports outlining the results of the various conferences, and a set of protocols for specific experiments to test the various models. Consequences of Nonaction: Continued efforts to develop the psychoenergetics field will suffer from lack of well defined theories against which to gauge the outcomes of specific experiments, with a corollary delay in understanding the fundamentals sufficiently to make rapid progress toward potential application to [oD objectives.

Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002100230001-3 Project Title: Computer facility upgrade Major Ob jective: the objective of this task is to upgrade the existing 1-2 user computer system. Specific Ob jectivess (1) Determine the best hardware/software combination to support up to 10 users both on a local area and long haul network C@sge ARPANET). (2) Determine the state-of-the-art DBM system that will work under the environment described in (1). (3) Purchase and install the selected system. Implementation of Proposed Objectives: (1) Related projects: Word processing and database management have become one of the most important support topics for the existing project. The computer demand has far exceeded the capabilities of the existing system. An adequate computer based office increases the efficiency of all the proposed research. (2) Funding/manpower: 1/2 manyear effor plus hardware/software. - $300k (estimated) (3) Timing: 9% months a Deliverables: A report describing the capabilities of the working computer facility. Consequences of Nonactions The existing computer facility was designed for a two user system for DBMS only. The current demand can not be met with the existing system. The INTEL DBMS can not be fully implemented without a significant upgrade. A major S-year effort can not be consistantly managed without a proper computer system.
