I
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the program is to determine the characteristics of para-
normal functioning by which individuals obtain or infer information about
their environment, wherein such information is not available by any known
channel.
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 possessed by the designated individual
and will include a thorough medical, psychological, and neuropsychological
evaluation carried out jointly by the Stanford Hospital and Palo Alto
Medical Clinic. The data will be compared with that obtained under
identical protocol with 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 drawings
hidden 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-state electronic random
stimulus generator (electronic lock analog) .

Technical Approach
1.
:
Basic Research
(a) Medical Evaluation
The medical evaluation of the designated individual of interest has
been assigned to the Palo Alto Medical Clinic. Coordination of the program
is being handled by Robert Armbruster, M.D., Director of the Clinic's
Department of Environmental Medicine.
The testing procedures fall into six categories:
.
(1) General physical examination, including complete medical and
family history;
(2) Laboratory examinations, including SMA-12 panel blood chemistries,
protein electrophoresis, blood lipid profile, urinalysis, serology,
blood type and factor, pulmonary function screening, and 12-lead
electrocardiogram;
(3) Neurological examination, including comprehensive and electro-
encephalogram (sleeping and routine) ;
(4) Audiometric examination, including comprehensive, Bekesy bone
conduction, speech discrimination, and impedance bridge test;
(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, inter-
personal style;
(2) Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (W.A.I.S.) ;.
(3) Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (M.M.P.I.);
(4) Benton Visual Memory Test and Wechsler Memory Scale;

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2014/01/09 : CIA-RDP79-00999A000200010036-6
(5) Thematic Apperception Test (T.A.T.) and Rorschach 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 neurological system covered in the medical evaluation, a neuropsycho-
logical profile is to be obtained by the administration 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) Buschke 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
One of the key issues in a program of this nature is the establishment
of criteria capable of differentiating individuals who are apparently
gifted in paranormal functioning from those who are not.

.
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2014/01/09 : CIA-RDP79-00999A000200010036-6
Three experimental paradigms 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, whereas the results of
unselected volunteers did not differ significantly from chance expectation) .
The tests are (a) remote viewing of natural targets, (b) reproduction of
simple line drawings hidden from the subject but viewed by an experimenter,
and (c) determination of the state of a four-state electronic 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 target
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 precisely
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 Targets
The first screening test is based on previous SRI research results
which indicate that it is possible for a subject to describe randomly
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 target.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2014/01/09 : CIA-RDP79-00999A000200010036-6
This experiment consists of a series of double-blind tests involving
local targets in the San Francisco Bay area which can be documented by
independent judging. Target locations within 30 minutes driving 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 second experimenter remains
at the target site for an agreed-upon 30-minute period following the 30
minutes allotted for travel. During the observation 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 target location.
Following a period of effort not to exceed half an hour, the subject
may either pass (when he does not feel confident) or indicate he is ready
to submit a drawing to the experimenters, in which case the drawing is
collected by an experimenter before the subject is permitted to see the
target. The experiment is then repeated with replacement until ten
drawings have been obtained from the subject.

To obtain an independent evaluation of the correlation between target
and response data, the experimenters submit the data for judging 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
target data (without replacement). Reference 1 includes an example of
results obtained with a gifted subject under this protocol.
(c)
Four-State Electronic Random Stimulus Generator
The determination of the state of a four-state electronic random
stimulus generator comprises the third screening test. The target 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 auditory (bell if correct)
feedback as to the correctness or incorrectness of his choice. Until
that time both subject and experimenter remain ignorant of the machine's
choice, 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
1/4 and no learning, the probability of observing k successes in n trials
is approximated by the probability of a normal distribution value
2(k - 2 - ) / /3n/16
For the purpose of screening, in our program each subject is required
tocomplete 100 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.
