I-eading personnel candidates identified fran previous work should be used, along with ry-v unique population groups. &Vbasis will be on sender/no sender conditions for phase shift parameters associated with remote light stimuli. 6*1.1.2 (U) Perform NM measurements as identified in 6.1.1.1 to include other (e.g., audio) or combined remote stimuli. 6.1.1.3 (U) Perform NBG 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 NM measurements as identified in 6.1.1.1 to determine if MEG results are influenced by charxjes 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.
