The program is divided into two categories basic research and applied research. The purpose of the basic research effort is to identify the physiological and psychological characteristics of individuals possessing paranormal abilities, and to identify neurophysiological correlates and basic mechanisms involved in such functioning. The purpose of the applied research effort is to explore experimentally the potential for applications of paranormal abilities, with special attention given to accuracy and reliability. II PROPOSED PROGRAM A. Objective Stanford Research Institute proposes to undertake a one-month research program to 'investigate the abilities and characteristics of a gifted individual whose services will be made available by the client. The program is to consist of a basic research effort and an applied research effort. The basic research effort will be directed toward the identifica- tion of measurable characteristics possessdd by the designated individual and will include a thorough medical, psychological, and neuropsychological evaluation carried out jointly by the Stanford @Iospital and Palo Alto Medical Clinic. The data will be compared with that obtained under idQntical prococol wit 'h six other Subjects whose paranormal functioning is being investigated under a parallel effort. The applied research effort will consist of replication with this individual of a series of screening tests in paranormal functioning carried out with previous.subjects. The tests proposed are (a) remote viewing of natural targets, i.e., attempts at description of geographical sites and pieces of equipment at locations physically remote from the subject: and connected by no known information channel, (b) reproduction of simple line dra@,,ings hiddetl from the subject but viewed by an experimenter, a variant including reprOdUCtiOn Of drawings executed with special materials of low density, and (c) determination of the state of a four-staLe electronic random stimulus generator (electronic lock analog).

Coordination of tile progran. is being handled by Robert Armbruster, M.D., Director of the Clinicts D.epartment of Environmental. Meclicine. The testing procedures fall into six categories: (1)1General Physical examinatioll, including complete medical and family.history; (2) Laboratory examinations, including SMA-12 panel blood chemistries, protein electrophoresis, blood lipid profile, urinalysis3 serology, blood type and factor, Pulmonary function screening, and 12-lead electrocardiogram; (3) Neurological exam ination, including comprehensive and electro-' encephalogram (sleeping and routine); Audiometric Ixamination3 including comprehensive, Bekesytbeonte; condu-ction, sp'eech discrimination, and impedance bridge (5) Ophthalmologist examination, including comprehensive, card testing, peripheral field test, Muscle test, dilation funduscope, and indirect ophthalmoscopic and fundus examination; (6) EMI brain scan. (b) Psychological Evaluation The psychological evaluation of the gifted individual of interest has also been assigned to the Palo Alto Medical Clinic. Coordination of the program is being handled by Dr. J.E. Heenan, Chief Clinical Psychologist of the Department 'of Psychiatry. The evaluation consists of: (1) In-depth interviews, including objective events and subjective views relating to the discovery and enhancement of paranormal capacities; socioeconomic, cultural, familial, religious environ- ment; outstanding peaks, traumas; values, motivation, iiiLer- personal style; (2) Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (W.A.I.S.); (3) MiIlReSOta 'Multiphasic Personality Inventory Benton Visual- Memory Test aud @@IectisLer Memory Scale; 2001103107 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 Approved For Release Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 (5) Thematic Apperception Test (T.A.T.) and lZorschach projective tests; (6) Bender Gestalt Visual Motor Test; (7) Luscher color test; (8) Strong Vocational Interest Blank; (9) Edwards Personality Preference Scale (E.P.P.S.). (c) Neuropsychological Evaluation In addition to the measurement of the physiological components of the neurol-ooical- system covered in the medical evaluation, a neuropsycho- 0 logical profile is to be obtained by the adminis@xation of the Halstead- Reitan Neuropsychology Test Battery. This phase 'of the program is being handled by Dr. Ralph Kiernan of the Department of Neurology, Stanford Hospital. The test battery consists of: (1) Halstead Category Test; (2) Tactile Performance Test; (3) Speech Perception Test; (4) Seashore Rhythm Test; (5) Trail Making Test; (6) Knox Cube Test; (7) Halstead-Wepman Aphasia Screening Test; (8) Raven Progressive Matrices; (9) Verbal Concept Attainment Test; (10) Busclike Memory Test; (11) Finger-Tapping Test; (12) Dynamometer Grip Strength; (13) Groove Pegboard Test. The results of the medical, psychological, and neuropsychological evaluations shall be compared and contrasted with those of six other subjects whose paranormal functioning is being examined. 2. Applied Research Ono of the key issues iii a program of this nature is the establishment of criteria capable of differenLiating individuals who are apparently gifted in parnnorm.-Il funct:ionLri- from those who are riot. 3 Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 Three experimental paradigais were chosen to act as screening tests on the basis that these tests had been useful for such purposes prior to this program (in the sense that certain apparently gifted individuals did exceedingly well on at least one of the tests, wl@.,roas the results of unselected volunteers did not differ significant..@ @rom chance expecLation). The tescs are (a) remote viewing of natural tarFt::. (b) reproduction of simple. line drawings hidden from the subject but ..@, .-wed by an experimenter, and (c) determination of the state of a four-staLc olectronic random stimulus generator. The tests are also considered to be useful analogs of certain operational situations. The first test constitutes a so-called "free-response" paradigm in which the subject originates freely about contents of his awareness; furthermore, the channel in general may involve both direct perception of the remote site and perception of the mental contents of an observer at the site. The second test is more constrained than the first in that the tarc'et information is more analytical or abstract, being associated with a graphical representation of an item of interest rather than the item itself. The third test is the most constrained in that the target is blind to all participants in the experiment and the subject's choice is p'recisely constrained. The details of these tests are given below. For the purpose of screening, the criteria as to what constitutes a paranormal result was chosen arbitrarily, viz: For the purpose of screening, a result is to be considered unequivocally paranormal if the a priori probability for the occurrence of the result by chance, under the null hypothesis, is < 10-6. AlthOUgh'the above requirement is exceedingly strict by usual psycho- physiological standards, it is chosen here because (a) the controversial nature of the subject requires strict handling, and (b) in our work- and elsewhere, a bimodal distribution has been observed empirically in which a subset of individuals participating in paranormal research produce results at a level of statistical significance p < 10-6 in comparison with the bulk of individuals who cluster about the mean as expected. Therefore, we base our criteria on an observable natural division into clearly functional and nonfunctional categories. (a) Remote Viewing of Natural Tar2ets The first screening test is based on previOLIS SRI research results which indicate that it is possible for a subject to describe r*andoiiily chosen geographical sites located several miles froM the Subject's position and demarcated by some appropriate means. A variant of this experiment involves using a technological piece of equipment within SRI asa tar@let. 4 Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 This experiment consists of a series of double-blind tests in%,olving locat tarc-,ets in the San Francisco Bay area which can be CIOCUIllenced by independent judging. Tar,pot locations within 30 minutes drivino time from SRI are randomly chosen from a list of targets kept blind to subject and experimenters and used without replacement. To begin an experiment, an experimenter is closeted with a subject at SRI to wait 30 minutes to begin a narrative description of the, remote location. A second experimenter obtains a target location from the target pool and proceeds directly to the target Without communication with the subject. or experimenter remaining behind. The seZ@ond experimenter remains at the target site for an agreed-upon 30-minuLe period following the 30 minutes allotted for travel. Duri'ng the obst--rvation period, the remote viewing subject is asked to describe his impressions of the target site into a tape recorder. A comparison is made when the experimenter returns. Following a series of experiments, the results are subjected to independent judging on a blind basis by SRI scientists not otherwise associated 'with the research. The judges are asked to blind match locations, independently visited, against typed manuscripts of tape- recorded narratives of the remote viewer. A given narrative can be assigned to more than one target location. A correct match requires that a transcript of a given date and time be associated with the target of that date and time. Probability calculations are on the basis of the a priori probability of the obtained series of matches by chance, con- servatively assuming assignment without replacement on the part of the judges. As an example, reference 1 contains results obtained with a gifted subject under this protocol. (b) Line Drawings A pool of fifty simple line drawings of everyday objects has been drawn,. randomized, and placed in a secure location. During experimentation, experimenters and subject are separated by having the subject enter a separate room so that from that time forward the subject is at all times visually and acoustically shielded from personnel- and material at the target location. Following isolation a target from the pool of fifty is chosen by a randomization technique. The subject's task is then to reproduce with pen on paper the line drawing now displayed at the targeL location. C, Following a period of effort not to exceed half an hour, the subject may either pass (when lie does not feel confident) or indicate- lie is ready to submit a drawing to the experimenters, in which case the drawing is 0 collected by an experimenter beforethe subject: is permitted to see the target. The experiment is then repeated with replacement until ten drawings have been Obtained from the subject. 5 Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 Approved For Release 2001103107 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 To obtain in independent evaluation of the correlation bcLwt@en target and response data, the experimencers submit the data for judg,in-b on a blind basis by two SRI scientists not: otherwise associated with the research. The judges are asked to Match the response data with the corresponding targcc data (without replacement). Reference 1 includes an example of results obtained with a gifted subject under this protocol. (c) FOUr-State Electronic Random SLimuluS Generator The determination of the state of a four-state electronic random stimulus generator comprises the. third screening test. The tarQet is in the form of one of four art slides randomly chosen (p 1/4) by an electronic random generator. The generator does not indicate its choice until. the subject indicates his choice to the machine by pressing a button (see Figure 1). As soon as the subject indicates his choice, the target slide is illuminated by provide visual and audito'ry (bell if,correct) feedback as to the correctness or incorrectness of his choice. Until thattime both subject and experimenter remain ignorant of the machine's ch oice, so the experiment is of the double-blind type. Five legends at the top of the machine face are illuminated one at a time with increasing correct choices (6, 8, 10, ...) to provide additional reinforcement. The machine choice, subject choice, cumulative trial number, and cumulative hit.number are recorded automatically on a printer. Following trial number 25, the machine must be reset manually by depressing a RESET button.' A methodological feature of the machine is that the choice of a target is not forced. That is, a subject may press a PASS button when he wishes not to guess, in which case the machine indicates what its choice was., And neither a hit nor a trial is scored by the machine,.which then .,goes on to make its next selection. Thus, the subject does not have to guess at targets when he does not feel that he has an idea as to which to choose. Under the null hypothesis of random binomial choices with probability 114and no learning, the probability of observing k successes in n trials is approximated by the probability of a normal distribution value n - 1 - >(k - 4 2 @/Tn/16 For the purpose of screening, in our program each subjecL.is required tocomplete 1.00 25-trial runs (i.e., a total of 2,500 trials). As an example, data from four of six subjects in the parallel effort mentioned previously are tabulated in Table 1. 6 Approved For Release 2001103107 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 PAGE" (J// 7 1 MISSING Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0700100003-3 TABLE 1 SCREENING DATA: FOUR-STATE ELECTRONIC 111-'INDOM STIMIL'LUS GENERATOR Mlean Scorelloo Trials SubjectO@-er 2,500 Trials Binomial Probability 25.76 0.22 2 29.36 3'x 10-7 4 25.76 0.22 6 25.40 0.33 On the basis of this test, Subject 2, whose scores are plotted in Figure 2, qualifies as a gifted individual, having satisfied the criterion of producing a result whose a.priori probability under the null hypothesis is p < 10-6.
