As a further comment on the items submitted for project consideration,
following is an attempt to order by what we would consider priority as
far as rapid payoff is concerned.
1. Screening/Selection: Everything is in place to obtain the best that can
be expected from testing methods, and the expecttion is for rapid payoff
in terms of a either a usable test quickly, or unequivocal indications as
to why testing methods are ot appropriate for the area under
consideration.
2. RV Jamming/Ambient ELF: Should there be a notable correlation between
RV performance and ambient ELF fields, this correlation could be
determined very quickly with a moderate effort, and would be of
immediate use in the field as far as determining optimum viewing
windows to be used.
3. Target Search: There is ample evidence in the psychoenergetics literature
that various approaches to this problem have been successful in the past,
and therefore every evidence that the application of straightforward
research methodology should provide progress in this area.
4. Audio Analysis: Previous research efforts in this laboratory have shown
the potential for developing a successful audio strategy for
differentiating correct from incorrect RV response. Since the appropriate
strategy may differ from person to person, such strategies may be
person-dependent, indicating a little more difficulty up front in
estimating the probability of immediate payoff.
5. Biofeedback (more properly,
Biomonitoring) :
Potentially of large
payoff, this task provides the greatest uncertainty up front, as
research efforts in the field (in biomonitoring) with regard to
defining a "psi-conducive" or "psi-productive" state have yet to yield
clearcut results. This area of endeavor therefore constitutes basic R&D.
