Subject: Selection/Training Task for LTC RJ
Date:
11 May 1983
Location: G-219
CC:
With regard to Selection/Training,
SRI International will provide the
appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to accomplish the following
three-phase Selection/Training Task:
Phase 1: (a) Personality profile data will be collected from calibrated
remote viewers, both SRI and client, using an extended Wechsler
test. These data will come from two sources:
1. Data in hand already obtained from certain SRI viewers;
2. Administration of the extended Wechsler to those remote
viemers that can be made available for testing, both
from the SRI and client communities.
The testing will
be carried out by two experienced testers, one a
consultant to SRI (Dr. David Saunders, MARS
Measurements Assoc., Lawrenceville, NJ), and one an
SRI staff member (Dr. Michael Hecker).
(b) The data obtained in (a) will be analyzed in accordance with
the P.A. S. (Personality Assessment System) concept (see "An
Introduction to the Personality Assessment System, " by J. Winne
and J. Gittinger, Monograph Supplement No. 38, Clinical
Psychology Publishing Co., Inc., Brandon, Vermont).
(c) From the above analysis mill be extracted indications as to the
appropriate personality profile(s) of interest.
Phase 2: (a) In parallel with the above effort,
self-report data ( from such
tests as the Myers-Briggs and 16 PF questionnaire) collected
from the same sources will be examined for the purpose of
designing a pre-screening questionnaire. Analysis of this data
will be carried out using the B. P.S. (Behavior Prediction
System) concept to generate a scoring key capable of extracting
from self-report pre-screening data those individuals with the
profile(s) indicated in Phase 1 (c) as being the profile(s) of
interest.
(b) To test whether the pre-screening test is effective in
selecting individuals with the Phase 1 (c) profiles, a second
group of individuals will be given both the pre-screening
and extended Wechsler tests and the correlations examined.
Phase 3:
Assuming success in Phases 1 and 2 in delineating individuals
with the appropriate profile(s) of interest, a series of remote
viewing trials will be carried out with time and resources
SGFOIA2
remaining to verify that appropriately-profiled individuals
do exhibit a talent for remote viewing.

Subject: Target Search Task
Date:
11 May 1983
Location: G-219
CC:
With regard to Target Search,
SRI International will provide the appropriate
equipment,
£
facilities and personnel to accomplish the following three-phase
Target Search Task directed at determining the location of objects,
individuals and facilities, on scales covering, e.g., room-size to global
dimensions:
Phase 1
(Discrete Search Technique)
In the Discrete Search Technique, the target area of interest (e.g.,
room, globe) is divided up into a series of "zones" or "grid
squares, " one of which is assumed to contain the target of interest.
A statistical procedure (e.g., error-correcting coding, sequential
sampling) is then used to statistically average a series of
"guesses" to determine in which of the "zones" or "grid squares"
the target of interest is contained. It has been shown in previous
work that such a procedure can in principle yield high-reliability
results with operators of relatively modest expertise, and a pilot
series of trials involving the location of an individual and the
location of ammunition was successful. Several forms of the Discrete
Search Technique, including the use of real-time computer and
programmable calculator statistical averaging procedures, will
be employed to
determine the efficacy of the discrete approach
applied to problems of interest to the client.
Phase 2 ( Continuum Search Technique)
As in the Discrete Search Technique, a number of so-called "domsing"
approaches have been identified in the psychoenergetics literature
as having some validity in determining the location of targets of
interest. In the "dowsing" approach, the area of interest containing
the target is "examined" by psychoenergetic means on a continuum
basis to determine the location of the specific target. In the
"map-dowsing" version of these approaches, direct access to the
area of interest is not required, and therefore the approach
lends itself to the types of applications of interest to the client.
A number of these approaches will be evaluated under laboratory-
controlled conditions to determine their applicability to client
needs.
Phase 3 (Test)
Following an SRI evaluation of the various techniques that show
promise in Phases 1 and 2, a subset will be chosen for demonstration
of feasibility to the client, with targets under control of the
client. Appropriate statistical analyses will be performed to
finalize the overall evaluation.

Audio Analysis Task for LTC RJ
Date: 11 May 1983
Location: G-220
CC: Puthoff
With regard to Audio Analysis,
SRI International will provide the
appropriate equipment,
facilities and personnel to accomplish the following
task:
The procedures developed in two previous tasks (Audio-linguistic
Correlations With RV Quality, and RV Evaluation), will be
used to determine the degree to which audio correlations
with RV responses exist within the current training
environment.
The data collected from within the current training program
from sponsor-supplied personnel will be used to search for
audio correlations.
As in the previous audio program, the
initial sessions will be use to formulate correlation
hypotheses that can be tested with nem data from within
training program.
In the search for correlations, the RV responses will be
quantitatively analyzed using the evaluation techniques
currently in use.
The audio responses will be analyzed
similarly to the methods developed in the previous audio
task.
In summary, the task is a follows:
Sponsor-supplied personnel will provide data within the course of the
standard training environment for a search for audio correlations with
RV responses.

equipment, facilities and personnel to accomplish the following tasks.
1.
Search the open literature for papers describing RV type
experiments that involved physiology measurements.
2.
Critically evaluate the papers found in (1) to determine
which ( if any) physiological measurement is most likely
to have an RV correlate.
3.
With recognized authorities in the physiology field selected
from (2) as consultants, perform physiology monitoring on
sponsor supplied personnel with the RV training environment.

Subject: RV Jamming/Ambient ELF Task for LTC RJ
Date:
11 May 1983
Location: G-219
CC:
With regard to RV Jamming/Ambient ELF,
SRI International will provide the
appropriate equipment,
facilities and personnel to accomplish the following
tasks:
(1) Search and summarize the literature that indicates that geomagnetic
storm activity and other factors that produce fluctuations in the
ambient ELF bands (<300 Hz) can degrade psychoenergetic
performance.
(2) Construct an ELF detector that can monitor ambient ELF fluctuations
in the local RV chamber.
(3) Examine the statistical correlation between RV performance (on an
appropriate series of trials carried out in the RV chamber) and
the ambient ELF fluctuations to determine whether measurement of
ambient ELF can be used as an indicator of expected performance,
and whether optimum performance windows can be identified.
