Young children who possess special inductive functions of the human body can recognize writing and figures on crumpled and rolled-up paper with- out using their eyes, but by using their ears and other parts of their bodies. This recognition mechanism is more complex and more difficult to understand than the mechanism of recognizing writing and figures on flat paper. When studying the process of sensing figures using special inductive functions of the human body, we discovered rmqny indications that helped us to understand the mechanisms of recognizing patterns on crumpled paper. For example, when using folded paper for testing, souip- testees demonstrated that they sensed figures that were at first spread out flat, and then after a while they were again folded; in February of 1980, when Xiaofeng was working with the charac- ter "1*1 11 written on a crumpled piece of paper, she first sensed a curved and crooked stroked ".Ar " but then the crooked strokes slowly straightened out into the character "'* ." In order to investigate the mechanism of sensing patterns on crumpled paper, we examined separately patterns for crumpled paper by eight young children with different special inductive functions. All to- gether 62 tests were carried out on the process of subjectively sensing fig- ures when the paper was rolled up. Test Results of Crumpled Paper We cut up several sheets of approximately 4 cm2 into different shapes and wrote characters or figures on the'pieces. Then we crumpled the paper without using any special method into small balls with diameters of about 4 MM. During the tests, we randomly selected a piece of crumpled paper and placed it on the external auditory canal of a testee and asked the testee to tell us or draw out the process of subjectively sensing the characters or figures on the paper in their auditory canal. After the crumpled paper was placed in the external auditory canal, its position was not changed. The hands of the testees did not come into contact with the crumpled paper. The tests were carried out separately and each testee independently gave an account of the process of sensing the figures. Below we present the accounts of several of the testees: Xiaoli (female, 11 years old). After the crumpled paper was placed in her external auditory canal for several minutes, she sensed the figure on the crumpled piece of paper in her brain and spread it out. After several minutes, this spread-out figure rolled up into a ball again and several minutes later this closed ball of paper appeared in her brain and repeatedly opened out. Afterwards, it closed up@again. During each test, Xiaoli could open up and close the paper with the figures several times in her brain. At first it opened only partially but afterwards it gradually expanded, and then finally the figure on the entire piece of paper opened up. At the same time, each Approved For Release 2003/09/09 CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0300300001-1 Approved For Release 2003/09/09 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0300300001-1 LN 725-83 time the figure on the paper opened up and appeared, Xiaoli could recognize part of the contents written on the crumpled paper; at first the strokes of these characters and figures were crooked, but after the paper was opened up the strokes gradually straightened out. When the paper was completely spread out, Xiaoli was able to recognize the different shapes on the paper. After the figures on the paper opened out and closed for the last time, they did not open up again after a short period of time. Xiaopu (female, 11 years old). Her sensing process Of figures on paper was similar to that of Xiaoli. Her special characteristic was that the crumpled paper opened up and closed many times. Several seconds after the paper opened up it closed, and several seconds after it closed, the paper opened up again. With this alternation of opening and closing, the time of each opening of the figure gradually lengthened. When it lengthened to more than ten seconds or several tens of seconds, the figures on the paper were completely spread out and she could recognize the characters and figures on the paper. After the final opening up of the crumpled paper, clear figures could be maintained in her brain for several minutes without closing up or disappearing. Xiaohong (female, 13 years old). After the crumpled paper was placed in her external auditory canal, at first there appeared figures on the crum- pled piece of paper, and afterwards the figures on the "loosened ball" of paper gradually opened up. Yet, as soon as the paper opened out, the figures on the paper disappeared and afterwards only independent characters and figures appeared. Xiaofeng (female, 12 years old). The special characteristic of her sens- ing of figures was that there was no appearance of figures on the paper. There was only the appearance of character forms of "crooked to flattened 4. 1%, . When characters were written on colored paper, the out," such as 11% color of the paper could appear but not the shape.of the paper. We can see from the test results of the four above-mentioned testees that the process of sensing crumpled paper is always a process in which the figures in space open up into plane figures. This type of opening-up process can be accomplished completely in one attempt, and it can also occur gradually after many repeated attempts. We also observed similar situations among other tested children. Table 1 gives some cases of the sensing of figures on.crum- pled paper. Test Results of Rolled-up Samples We used a rectangular piece of paper 1 cm wide and 6 cm long with two ends cut into different shapes. We used a color pen to write characters or symbols on the paper, roiled up the paper into a ball with a diameter of 4 mm, and then used cotton thread to bind it into a test sample. The aim of using the rolled-up sample for testing was to examine whether or not the opening process when sensing rolled-up paper was similar to that of mechanically open- ing a piece of rolled-up paper. Table 2 gives the results of several tests. From the descriptions of Xiaoli and Xiaopu, when,sensing characters and figures on rolled-up paper, there still occurred the process of repeated opening Approved For, Release 2003/09/09 :lft-RDP96-00792ROO0300300001-1 cn co I A CI4 z t-I advqs aq-4 (zE-odud 2ou 2nq Pei) sau-adde aaded jo doa uo jolpearqz ZEO-Eoz atqul S 3pvq v sT aja1qj (- Pei jo dTazs V gua OL'TX -j 01 ---------- ON ---------------------- - ---- - ------ - ------- ------------- ---- - ------ 2uajovTx ----- 6 ----- ----- - --- ON --------- - -------------------------- ------- ------ ------- ------------ 2u9jOvTX ----- ----- ---- -- ------ -- ---------- ------- - ------------------------- - - --- -- - - - - --- - - ----- (:Eq:jIDvIvqz ------------ ----- qnTq 9 aaded S-t'Tq jo SSUM 'e 4- -81raddesTp aad-ed aq-4 qjT1qm) qMT2 .qu O Sa Y -d PaTdmru0 I- BuTuadO Tvnpvig -+- saAom ,3 jadL aaded a aadva dmrLaD o azaTd Pz i oL- guo o N (- l +. j V q T TX q ----------- --------- ---------- -------------------------------------------- <- sale-, Id-es-Ep aadvd Blq'4 -+- J0:13VaZqV --------- ---- ----------- ----- . v 9Avr, o-4 smaes aaded jo a-jaTd PaT OUIT 2 -dmn--o sq4 -q- suado ATIenpeag pue se,&om quo ON (- Sal aacird aip <- aaded 3o 9oaTd POTdmniz) v I SUORORTX 9 ----- - ------ pauado - - ---------- -------- --------- ---------- Sal ---------- ------------- - - -- - ------------------------ -,!;@ ---------------- -------------------------- ---- i ------ ------------ ndoleT X ------------ ----- 9 ----- pauado ------------ 89MT-4 Aut'N --------- Sax ---------- --------------------------------------------- > ------------- ndOPTX ----------- ----- q6O SaMT:I B29A9 Sa i ou O T0 P S T l VTX TT c - - ---------- PaSOTD --------- ---------- Sal ------------- - ------------------- ------------- ----------- TTOeTX ----- z -- - - ----- --------- ---------- ------ ------- SaMT-4 ----- ----------- ----- PaSOTC) TVIaAUS Sax TTOPT .X T ajn2-fj s-asOT-3 sa-eadde qTdmrs PTTqz .19 TeuTJ V suado aaded ssaz)oid.

Moreover, the figures on the rolled-up paper could rotate in the brain. the sequence of the appearance of the characters and figures on the rolled-up paper sometimes first appeared near the inside end of the pattern and some- times appeared near the outside end of the pattern. Sometimes they also ap- peared in the middle of the rolled-up paper. This shows that the opening process of figures on rolled-up paper is not related to the outside end in a rolled-up paper sample, and it is also different from mechanically flatten- ing out rolled-up paper with the hands. After tests on recognizing crumpled and rolled-up paper samples, we further noted that the use of special inductive functions to,sense samples was completely different from using the eyes to see things. One eye perceived the projection of an object in space on a certain surface but could not dis- criminate the projections of overlapping figures. Special inductive func- tions can be used to sense three-dimensional objects in space and can also carry out more complex processing. Based on the opening processes described by the testees, they are similar to the repetitive grouping of figures in space by a computer. The differences benkeen the several testees in their sensing of figures are possibly related to the'strengths of their special inductive functions. Xiaofeng and Xiaohong participated in many special in- ductive function tests and generally their functions were relatively strong, so that after the sample was opened once it could be clearly and completely recognized. When Xiaoli and Xiaopu participated in special inductive func- tion tests which were conducted relatively late in the day, their functions were at an intermediate level and only after processing the samples many times could they cause the figures of the sample to advance from partially to complelely open. Sometimes, Xiaoli was unable to recognize completely and clearly the test contents. After the figure of the sample closed up it did not open again, so that it was best to halt the process. This shows that the level and sustained time of opening for the sample are related possibly to the level of the special inductive function. Based on the results of us- ing multifolded samples, as well as crumpled and rolled-up paper, to examine the sensing process of pictures by special inductive functions in the human body, this type of sensing process is not the mechanical copying of samples; but it is rather a more complex process, whereby an existing weak signal is drawn from an interference background,1 selection for recognition is based on the number of the layer ,? and the figures in space open up to become plane figures. Today, scientific techniques such as hologram photography, fault photography, CT, recombination of figures in space, etc., have already been realized, and an examination of the principles of these scientific techniques can perhaps help us to understand the mechanisms of special inductive func- tions 'i the human body. Moreover, special inductive functions in the human b-@dy have possibly more profound significance than these modern scientific and technological achievements. 1 Wang Chu, et al.

Our observation findings also confirm that some people possess the ability to recognize patterns without using their eyes. The facts prove that certain people can use many parts of their body to discriminate colors, characters, pictures, flat and folded objects, and even pictures on crumpled pieces of paper without using their eyes. Moreover, they can penetrate through paper, plastic, aluminum foil, copper foil, and various other obstructions. Because the process of sight- less pattern recognition is relatively slow and because images appear in the forehead, the testee can write or orally relate the process and results of their own perceptions. Therefore, we can use the abilities of the human body itself to observe the process of sightless pattern recognition. This article treats the sightless pattern recognition capability of the human body, including the recognition of colors and shapes of pictures, the recognition sequence, the function of position fixing and turning during recognition, the function of orientation, the function of measuring the angle, the assembling and conformity functions, the functions of study, making con- tact and contrast, as well as the feelings of vibration which occur during recognition. Methods We used various colored characters, symbols, and pictures written on white paper as the test samples. Some were studied and recognized by the testees, while others were images which the testees.had nevercomein contact with. 1. The test sample which was fixed in direction, as well as open and flat, was stuck to the center of the palm of the testee. The testee was not permitted to move the position of the picture in his palm, and the left and right palms independently carried out sightless recognition. 2. The test sample was open and flat or folded, and it was placed directly on the palm in a random direction for sightless recognition. 3. Certain protective screens were arranged for the test sample: we used black paper wrapping; it was placed in a cardboard box with wall thickness of I mm and dimensions of 52 x 34 x 15 mm2; it was placed in a black resin ink box with wall thickness of 2 mm, a diameter of 60 mm, and a height of 20 mm; it was placed in an aluminum box with wall thickess of 0.2 mm, a diameter of 68 mm, and a height of 90 mm; the test sample was rolled up and placed in a glass test tube with wall thickness of 1 mm, a diameter of 10 mm, and a height of 100 mm; the test sample was placed in the above-men- tioned container in a random direction and the testee held the container in his hands for sightless recognition.

One screen after another appeared separately in a certain sequence,and finally he s6ftff'ed@'the appearance of the entire figure. The results are shown in Table 1. A We can see from the observations that the process of sightless pattern recognition of the human'body is a process with a certain sequence. It can divide the characters and figures into certain types of figure units, such as it - 11 11 1 it, 11 / it, it if 0 it, 114. 11, 11 )(", 113", etc. f or recognition.

It can be considered that measur- ing angle position fixing has a process of independent analytical processing. As regards the recognition of circular and arched patterns, the testees said that the circular shaped images were sensed in their entireties, and the circles were always sensed before the arcs. In the recognition of circles, the phenomenon whereby therewas division into separate sections of arcs which were later connected to 'ther did not occur. The observations are given in Fig. 1. For the pattern I'S " testee A said that "there are two circles and the one in the middle is black and indistinct." This shows that there is an independent process for the processing of circles and arcs in the sight- less pattern recognition by the human body. This area of work still requ ires further observations. We can see from Table 1 that for more complex charac- it to of Ili a.. it etc., the ters, such as " V 1 15 11 *4j method of processing by dividing the characters into parts was used. More- .over, we can see that following the development of recognition functions, the figure units divided for recognition can change from simple to relatively complex. After the process of dividing the characters into parts, they then use uniform proportions, fixed positions, measuring angle$ etc., between each divided part to form a complex character pattern. 4. Practice, Making Contact, and Contrastive Functions We discovered in the observation process that following an increase in the number of tests on the,testees, the testees said that the sightless recog- nition of characters was "one character at a time jumping on a light screen." 12- Approved For Release 2003/09/09 : Cl-A-RDP96-00792ROO0300300001-1 *PPI Oved Ful PTIMIORM 2003709709 CIA-KDP96-00792ROU @-; MW 7 LN 725-83 UNC For example, this was true of later observatiops.of 1*11 fit [study hard iexerci L 1L dently love one S country) ..),:(,protect :: nt@ S country],' [persevere] 0 ,F '[hard work does not shoulder strong-willed people]," etc* h t at the sightless pattern recognition function by the human bo 1 .'Int' con- 0 tact with data processing channels after being used many time his is a self-organizing function, and it causes the recognition capabil#411. to in- crease from the recognition of simple figure units to the.r Mona ecogni- complex figure units.
