  re.s.ponse to a Vermont listener's question
       BODY:
  EBelitskiyl It's generally accepted among the scientists interested in
  the subject that what is popularly known as ESP Is a group of phenomena whose
  existence- hinges in the Final analysis on the physical fields that are

  believed to be enerated by biological objects. To study such fields a special
  laboratory has geen set up at the@lns "Ate-of Radio Enaineerina and Electronics-
  of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The lab is headed byfDr-Eduard (? and
  Overall supervision of research in this area is in the hands -of -1@r -Tufly
  Aayayev,_, a corresponding member of the academy. Some of the rinal=gs at this
  lab appear to be of definite promise. Most important of all, they have been
   hig_hly advanced physical instruments and thus meet the need
  which has so often in the past been
  flooded with data that could hardly be said to be reliable.
  [Woman announcer] What sort of Findings are you referring to at this lab?
       EBelitskly] In the-.'LLU..years that the lab has been in existence its staff of
  physicists, engineers,71Yhysiologists, and other specialists have established--
  that-gW@y living biolog@cal object gives rise to a complex pattern of physical
  fields. Their distribuMn in space and variation with the pasiage-df-llme-

  [Woman) What is the nature of this physical field generated by a biological
  ob.lect, say a human being?
  (c) 1987 The British Broadcasting Corporation, June 81 1987
       Helitsklyl Every human being generates quite a number of physical fields:
  infra-redl thermal-@-adio, low-frequency electric, magnetic, acoustic,
  bioluminescent and others. What the scientists at the lab are concentrating on
  Is "en-tIf-ying the type of information about the body that can be derived from
  gw@@ a fie
       [Woman] Such studies can, of course, provide medicine with valuable new
  diagnostic tools, but what about the problem of human beings receiving
  information via such external physical fields?
       [Belitskiy) Well, that will clearly be the-next stage of the resear -ch
  conducted at the lab. Obyiously, it's even more complicated than the first
  stage, since the body In this case acts as a very complicated receiving system.
  This will involve studies of an entirely new dimension involving "

  and ps-ychophysiologl5ts as well as the scientists I mentioned earlier. Such
  studies, too, are definitely planned, and It's quite possible they'll shed light
  onsome aspects of what is known to the layman as ESP, extra-5ensory perception.
