!Experimental laboratory work continues to provide evidence	
flush lef@	26	Ifor the existence of so-called psi processes., a class of in-	
	25	Iteractions between conciousness and the physical world as	
	24	jyet unexplained. These include 1) the acquisition of'infor-	
	2@	Imation not presented to any obvious sense, and 2) the pro-	
	22	Iduction of physical effects'not mediated by any obvious mech.	
	21	Anism. At SRI we have concentrated primarily on the former,,	
	20	'
!investigating a phenomenon we call "remote viewing," the	
	19	lability of certain individuals to access and describe, by	
	18	'Means of mental processes, information blocked from ordinary	
	17	lperception by distance or shielding. Our data base consists	
	16	lof >100 experiments in the remote viewing of targets ranging	
	15	1ram objects in nearby light-tight cannisters to geographic
if	
	14	tes at transcontinental distances, viewed from locations	
	13	hich include shielded Faraday cages and a submerged subma-
4	
	121	Irine. Data from these observations indicate that models put	
	11	forw1rd to explain psi processes must account for bit rates	
	10	-10- bits/s, resolution -mm., apparent ineffectiveness of or4	
	9	thieldingj, and relative insensitivity to
dinary electrical	
	8	distance up to -1 km. Although such phenomena might appear
o	
	7	to be in conflict with the laws of physics., we anticipate	
	6	that much of the data will in all probability be accounted	
	5	or either within the framework of physics as presently un-
@	
	4	erstood, or on the basis of conservative extrapolations
