ENHANCED HUMAN PERFORMANCE INVESTIGATION
STATEMENT OF WORK
Phase II -- Knowledge Development
Goals:
To define further the characteristics, parameters, and effectiveness of remote view-
ing (RV).
Objectives:
A.
Provide access to all aspects of the research to the Scientific Oversight Commit-
tee (SOC) .*
Task 1
Description:
Provide statistical and basic research design protocols in ad-
vance of experiments.
Deliverables:
1st Quarter FY 88 (A report including the experimental pro-
'tocols for FY 88, and detailing the approvals and the review
process by the SOC.)
Task 2
Description:
Provide continuing access to on-going experiments to SOC
members.
Deliverables:
None
Task 3
Description:
Provide final reports for inspection and critical review to the
SOC.
Deliverables:
4th Quarter FY. 88 (A final technical report including the ex-
perimental results for FY 88, and detailing the SOC's review
comments.)
Cost: $ 89.4K / yr -- 7.6%
1
* The time-lines for all tasks during FY 1988 are the same: Start on 1-Oct-1987 and
end on 30-Sep-1988. The costing is computed on an objective-by-objective basis, and
the contractor is SRI International except where noted differently.

.
B.
Identify new and "excellent" remote viewers.
Task 1
Description:
Using various techniques to include the video disk technology,
screen, and confirm, as many potential RV candidates as pos-
sible.
Deliverables:
4th Quarter FY 88 (A report detailing the screening protocol,
the method of approach, and results.)
Cost: $303.7K / yr -- 26.0%
C.
Obtain successful replications of RV.
Task 1
Description:
Provide supervision for the training of LANL personnel for
for an eventual replication effort by examining RV quality as a
function of weak magnetic environment.
Deliverables:
None
Cost: $71.6K / yr -- 6.1%
D.
Determine a physiological indicator of psychoenergetic functioning.
Task 1
Description:
Monitor and assist an independent contractor in determining
the degree to which "remote" magnetic visual evoked poten-
tials can be observed.
Deliverables:
None
Cost: $62.5K / yr -- 5.4%
E.
Determine parameters of RV.
Task 1
Description:
Measure RV quality as a function of differing types of robust
feedback.
Deliverables:
4th Quarter FY 88 (A report detailing the experimental proto-
col, the method of approach, and results.)
Task 2
,
Description:
Measure RV quality when various target properties are the
independent variables for feedback.
Deliverables:
4th Quarter FY 88 (A report detailing the experimental proto-
col, the method of approach, and results.)
