SUBJECT:
IEEE Acclaim for SRI Psychoenergetics Work
CC:
SRI researchers Puthoff and Targ, attending the Seventh IEFE
International Conference on Cybernetics and Society, were presented with
the Franklin V. Taylor Memorial Award for the Best Presentation of the
Sixth International Conference on Cybernetics and Society.
Further acclaim for the SRI psychoenergetics work was contained in
the introduction to this year's Conference Proceedings, written by
Conference Chairman William II. von Alven of the FCC (see attached).
Finally, interest at the conference in psychoenergetics research
and related brain research was so high that the Executive Committee of
the IEEE SMC ( Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society) group formed a
subgroup "Biocybernetics," devoted specifically to investigation of man
and his capabilities, viewed as a Biocybernetic System.
Therefore, although the controversial nature of psychoenergetics
work at SRI has-engendered negative reactions in some quarters, we should
not lose sight of the fact that, by and large, the informed majority of
the scientific and lay communities continue to respond in a very favorable
vein.
