Approved For Release 2000/08/08 TAER BP 6 -40788R001500100024-0 (S/NF) Applications research includes development of all data evaluation methodologies so that statistical significance and confidence levels can be determined for each type of application. Central to this effort would be the continuing investigations into psychoenergetics skill identification, develop- ment, and enhancement for the various classes of phenomena and types of applications considered. Techniques for improving data interpretation or for isolating valid data from the spurious would be pursued, as well as other applications research issues. (S/NF) The application research effort would investigate and attempt to Simulate appropriate foreign research in order to assess its significance for threat assessment work. They would also investigate potential countermeasure to possible foreign use of psychoenergetics phenomena, (S/NF) Since this research examines both informational {RV, ESP) and energetic aspects (PK) of psychoenergetics, a broad range of research tasks would be levied on various university laboratories, contractor facilities, and government research facilities where appropriate scientific instruments, shielded rooms, or other resources are located. 3. (U) Basic Research: (C/NF) This research would require assistance from basic research laboratories at universities, contractor facilities, or appropriate government laboratories. Main focus would be on investigations that define theoretical models and fundamental physical (and mental) mechanisms that help explain the various types of psychoenergetics effects, Physical and psychological scientists and those from other disciplines (such as medical, biology, neuro- physiology) would be involved in this exploratory work. Some of this effort would complement investigation of the empirically based applied research. (S/NF) Basic research could include, for example, long distance remote viewing experiments to deep submarines or orbital platforms for evaluating possible electromagnetic transmission models. A variety of experiments would be developed for electromagnetic, quantum mechanical, or other physical theories that have been advanced as possible explanatory models for the phenomena. Issues involving brain/mind, consciousness/subconsciousness or cognitive research would be examained for Clues that might suggest how PSI information may be received, processed, and presented to consciousness, or how energetic PSI phenomena (PK) are mediated. PK effects, for example, may involve a complex interaction between mental and physical states. Some form of electromagnetic frequency may be generated by the central nervous system that interacts with Surrounding material for some types of PK phenomenon. Issues such as these, and many others, would be explored by the basic research effort. Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001500100024-0 SECRET
