SUMMARY :
(U) ACCORDING TO A NEWS ARTICLE WHICH APPEARED IN THE 2
APRIL 1985 ISSUE OF THE JAPAN ECONOMIC JOURNAL, A NUMBER OF JAPANESE
SCIENTISTS ARE BEGINNING TO PAY ATTENTION TO LONG-SHUNNED
PARAPSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH. ACCORDING TO SOJI OHTANI, PROFESSOR AT
THE JAPAN DEFENSE COLLEGE AND PRESIDENT OF THE JAPAN PARAPSYCHOLOGY
ASSOCIATION, THE STUDY OF PSYCHIC PHENOMENA IN JAPAN IS NOT YET
OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AND PAST EFFORTS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED BY
INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS. CURRENTLY, TAKAHIRO ( (SEKIMOTO) ) .
PRESIDENT OF NEC CORP HOPES TO HAVE COMPANY RSEARCHERS STUDY
TELEPATHY AS A REVOLUTIONARY FUTURE MODE OF COMMUNICATION. WHILE
HIROO ( (YUHARA) ) , ADVISOR TO UNIDEN CORP, AND FORMER HEAD OF THE
JAPANESE GOVERNMENT POSTS AND TELECOMMUNICATION MINISTRY, S RADIO
RESEARCH LABORATORIES (JAPAN'S MOST ADVANCED TELECOMMUNICATION
RESEARCH ORGANIZATION) HAS BEEN STUDYING PARAPSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENA
FOR SEVERAL YEARS. ANOTHER RESEARCHER, MASAMICHI ( (ROKUSHA) ) , A
HITACHI, LTD ENGINEER, HAS SECRETLY DEVISED A SYSTEM UTILIZING A
PERSONAL COMPUTER AND COMPUTER ANALYSIS TO GREATLY IMPROVE THE
FUTURE STUDY OF PARAPSYCHOLOGY. IN ADDITION, A TECHNICAL ADVISER TO
MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL COMPANY, HAJIME ( (KARATSU) ) , SPOKE OF
THE IMPORTANCE OF FULLY UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN BRAIN THROUGH AN
UNDERSTANDING OF PSYCHIC PHENOMENA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED
COMPUTERS IN THE FUTURE. THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT MAY ALSO BE
STARTING TO MOVE INTO THE FIELD OF PARAPSYCHOLOGY BY TAKING UP THE
SUBJECT OF MAN'S SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES AS A STUDY THEME OF ITS FY 87
CREATIVE SET PROMOTION PROGRAMA

ARTICLE TITLED "COMPUTER SCIENTISTS BEGIN PAYING ATTENTION TO
LONG-SHUNNED PARAPSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH" WHICH APPEARED IN THE 2
APRIL 1985 ISSUE OF THE JAPAN ECONOMIC JOURNAL.
"TADAHIRO SEKIMOTO, PRESIDENT OF NEC CORP., HAS A
PET RESEARCH THEME WHICH HE IS HOPING TO SEE TAKEN UP
BY HIS COMPANY'S RESEARCHERS. SEKIMOTO HIMSELF BROUGHT
UP THE THEME SOME 20 YEARS AGO, WHEN HE WAS A SENIOR
ENGINEER, AND HAD IT FLATLY TURNED DOWN. THE THEME IS

REFERRED TO AS THE 'SIXTH SENSE' OR 'TELEPATHY. '
'THE STUDY OF THE SIXTH SENSE AND TELEPATHY WILL
CERTAINLY PROVE A CORNERSTONE OF FUTURE MODES OF
COMMUNICATIONS, ' DECLARES SEKIMOTO.
UNKNOWN ENERGY
TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING AT PRESENT DEPENDS
ON ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGIES AND SOUND VIBRATION
ENERGIES. SEKIMOTO BELIEVES THAT THERE IS UNKNOWN
ENERGY IN 'THE WORLD OF THE SIXTH SENSE' THAT CAN BE
USED FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND THAT DISCOVERY OF THIS
UNKNOWN ENERGY MAY VERY WELL REVOLUNTIONALIZE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
'SCIENCE TODAY DOES NOT FULLY EXPLAIN WHAT THE
ELECTRIC WAVE REALLY IS, ' DECLARES HIROO YUHARA,
ADVISOR TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS GEAR MAKER UNIDEN
CORP., AND FORMER HEAD OF THE POSTS AND
TELECOMMUNICATIONS MINISTRY'S RADIO RESEARCH
LABORATORIES, THE MOST ADVANCED OF JAPAN'S RESEARCH
ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS FIELD.
' WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT WE
CAN MAKE WONDERFUL COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT IF WE BUILD
IT ON THE THEORIES OF ELECTRIC WAVE ENGINEERING. THERE
ARE MANY BASIC MATTERS THAT REQUIRE SCIENTIFIC
EXPLANATIONS. '
YUHARA HAS FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEEN ENGROSSED IN
STUDYING PHENOMENA DEFYING SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION.
HE
CONDUCTED A SIMPLE EXPERIMENT FOR AN NKS REPORTER.
HE
FIRST PLACED SOME NAME CARDS AND SMALL PIECES OF PAPER
WITH NAMES WRITTEN ON THEM ON A TABLE AND THEN BROUGHT
A BAR MAGNET HANGING FROM A STRING. WHEN THE MAGNET
WAS PLACED ABOVE THE NAME CARDS, IT STARTED SWINGING
RIGHT AND LEFT DEPENDING UPON THE NAME CARDS. YUHARA
CLAIMED THAT WHEN THE NAME CARD IS THAT OF A DEAD MAN,
THE MAGNET SWINGS TO THE LEFT.
TO EXPLAIN THIS STRANGE PHENOMENON, YUHARA
FORMULATED THE FOLLOWING HYPOTHESIS:
'THE HUMAN BODY
HAS A SECRET SENSOR IN IT AND THE SENSOR TRANSMITS THE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATE (DEAD OR ALIVE OF THE MAN
WHOSE NAME IS ON THE CARD TO THE BAR MAGNET.'
' IN JAPAN, PSYCHIC PHENOMENA AND THE DISCIPLINE OF
PARAPSYCHOLOGY ARE YET TO BE RECOGNIZED, ' STATES SOJI
OHTANI, PROFESSOR AT THE DEFENSE COLLEGE AND PRESIDENT
OF THE JAPAN PARAPSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATION. 'WE,
THEREFORE, ARE CONDUCTING OUR RESEARCH ON THE SUBJECTS
COMPLETELY ON OUR OWN. '
EVEN AMONG BIG BUSINESS EMPLOYEES, THERE ARE SOME
WHO ARE SECRETLY ENGAGED IN TELEPATHY IN THE BELIEF
THAT THE DAYS WHEN THE WORTH OF SUCH STUDIES IS FULLY
APPRECIATED ARE NOT THAT FAR AWAY.
ONE SUCH PERSON IS MASAMICHI ROKUSHA, AN ENGINEER
BELONGING TO HITACHI, LTD.'S PATENT SECTION. ROKUSHA
HAS RECENTLY DEVISED, WITH THE USE OF A PERSONAL
COMPUTER, A SYSTEM TO GREATLY IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF
STUDIES OF THE SIXTH SENSE.
ROKUSHA MAKES THE COMPUTER MEMORIZE THE FIGURES ONE.
AND ZERO 100 TIMES AT RANDOM AND HAS A CONTROL TO CALL
OUT THE FIGURES BEFORE THE MACHINE FLASHES THEM ON
SCREEN EVERY TWO SECONDS. THE 'BEEP' SOUND IS
SOMETIMES ADDED TO TEST WHAT EFFECTS THE SOUND WILL
HAVE ON THE CONTROL'S SCORE.
A COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF VAST AMOUNTS OF DATA
COLLECTED SHOW THAT THE SCORES BECOME POOR AFTER THE
BEEP SOUND AND THAT THE BEST SCORES ARE CONCENTRATED
JUST BEFORE THE BEEP SOUND. ROKUSHA EXPLAINS THESE TWO
PHENOMENA BY CONSIDERING THAT THE CONTROL SOMEHOW SENSE
THAT THE BEEP SOUND DISRUPTS THEIR INTUITION SO SOME

'THE DAY WILL CERTAINLY COME SOONER OR LATER WHEN
STUDIES OF PSYCHIC PHENOMENA BECOME LEGITIMATE,'
ROKUSHA SAYS. 'I AM BUILDING UP THE NECESSARY DATA AND
INFORMATION FOR SUCH AN EVENTUALITY.'
NATIONAL PROJECT
HAJIME KARATSU, TECHNICAL ADVISER TO MATSUSHITA
ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., SPEAKS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF
STUDIES OF PSYCHIC PHENOMENA IN A DIFFERENT MANNER.
'DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE COMPUTERS HINGES ON A FULL
EXPLANATION OF BRAIN FUNCTIONS, ' SAYS KARATSU.
'IN
BRAIN STUDIES, PHENOMENA SO FAR UNEXPLAINED BY
.
CONVENTIONAL SCIENCES SHOULD ALSO BE TAKEN UP. '
THE STATE ALSO HAS STARTED MOVING INTO THE FIELD.
THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AGENCY HAS RECENTLY DECIDED
TO TAKE UP MAN'S SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES AS A STUDY THEME
OF ITS CREATIVE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PROMOTION
PROGRAM AS FROM FISCAL 1987.
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY WORDS IN THE JAPANESE
LANGUAGE SMACKING OF THE SUPERNATURAL, NO SCIENTIFIC
STUDIES HAVE AS YET BEEN UNDERTAKEN ON THE PHENOMENA
IMPLIED BY THE WORDS. STUDIES OF SUCH PHENOMENA MAY
VERY WELL HAVE WIDE-RANGING PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
RANGING FROM CURES FOR ILLNESSES TO NEW COMMUNICATIONS
MODES.
SIR ISAAC NEWTON, FORMULATOR OF THE THEORY OF
GRAVITY, BECAME ENGROSSED IN STUDIES OF THE
SUPERNATURAL IN HIS LATER YEARS, WHILE BRIAN D.
JOSEPHSON, A BRITISH PHYSICIST KNOWN AS THE CREATOR OF
THE JOSEPHSON JUNCTION THEORY, IS NOW FULLY COMMITTED
TO STUDIES OF MAN'S SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES."
