PROCESSES IN SENSING FIGURES ON CRUMPLED AND ROLLED-UP
PAPER USING SPECIAL INDUCTIVE FUNCTIONS OF THE HUMAN
BODY
AUTHORS :
Shao Shaoyuan, et al.
Young children who possess special inductive functions of the human
body can recognize writing and figures on crumpled and rolled-up paper with-
out using their eyes, but by using their ears and other parts of their bodies.
This recognition mechanism is more complex and more difficult to understand
than the mechanism of recognizing writing and figures on flat paper. When
studying the process of sensing figures using special inductive functions of
the human body, we discovered many indications that helped us to understand
the mechanisms of recognizing patterns on crumpled paper. For example, when
using folded paper for testing, some testees demonstrated that they sensed
figures that were at first spread out flat, and then after a while they were
again folded; in February of 1980, when Xiaofeng was working with the charac-
ter "X " written on a crumpled piece of paper, she first sensed a curved and
crooked stroked "," but then the crooked strokes slowly straightened out
into the character " "." In order to investigate the mechanism of sensing
patterns on crumpled paper, we examined separately patterns for crumpled paper
by eight young children with different special inductive functions. All to-
gether 62 tests were carried out on the process of subjectively sensing fig-
ures when the paper was rolled up.
Test Results of Crumpled Paper
We cut up several sheets of approximately 4 cm2 into different shapes
and wrote characters or figures on the pieces. Then we crumpled the paper
without using any special method into small balls with diameters of about 4
mm. During the tests, we randomly selected a piece of crumpled paper and
placed it on the external auditory canal of a testee and asked the testee to
tell us or draw out the process of subjectively sensing the characters or
figures on the paper in their auditory canal. After the crumpled paper was
placed in the external auditory canal, its position was not changed. The hands
of the testees did not come into contact with the crumpled paper. The tests
were carried out separately and each testee independently gave an account of
the process of sensing the figures. Below we present the accounts of several
of the testees:
Xiaoli (female, 11 years old). After the crumpled paper was placed in
her external auditory canal for several minutes, she sensed the figure on the
crumpled piece of paper in her brain and spread it out. After several minutes,
this spread-out figure rolled up into a ball again and several minutes later
this closed ball of paper appeared in her brain and repeatedly opened out.
Afterwards, it closed up again. During each test, Xiaoli could open up and
close the paper with the figures several times in her brain. At first it
opened only partially but afterwards it gradually expanded, and then finally
the figure on the entire piece of paper opened up. At the same time, each

time the figure on the paper opened up and appeared, Xiaoli could recognize
part of the contents written on the crumpled paper; at first the strokes of
these characters and figures were crooked, but after the paper was opened up
the strokes gradually straightened out. When the paper was completely spread
out, Xiaoli was able to recognize the different shapes on the paper. After
the figures on the paper opened out and closed for the last time, they did
not open up again after a short period of time.
Xiaopu (female, 11 years old). Her sensing process of figures on
paper was similar to that of Xiaoli. Her special characteristic was that
the crumpled paper opened up and closed many times. Several seconds after
the paper opened up it closed, and several seconds after it closed, the paper
opened up again. With this alternation of opening and closing, the time of
each opening of the figure gradually lengthened. When it lengthened to more
than ten seconds or several tens of seconds, the figures on the paper were
completely spread out and she could recognize the characters and figures on
the paper. After the final opening up of the crumpled paper, clear figures
could be maintained in her brain for several minutes without closing up or
disappearing.
Xiaohong (female, 13 years old). After the crumpled paper was placed
in her external auditory canal, at first there appeared figures on the crum-
pled piece of paper, and afterwards the figures on the "loosened ball" of
paper gradually opened up. Yet, as soon as the paper opened out, the figures
on the paper disappeared and afterwards only independent characters and
figures appeared.
Xiaofeng (female, 12 years old). The special characteristic of her sens-
ing of figures was that there was no appearance of figures on the paper.
There was only the appearance of character forms of "crooked to flattened
out, " such as i +d. When characters were written on colored paper, the
color of the paper could appear but not the shape of the paper.
We can see from the test results of the four above-mentioned testees
that the process of sensing crumpled paper is always a process in which the
figures in space open up into plane figures. This type of opening-up process
can be accomplished completely in one attempt, and it can also occur gradually
after many repeated attempts. We also observed similar situations among other
tested children. Table 1 gives some cases of the sensing of figures on crum-
pled paper.
Test Results of Rolled-up Samples
We used a rectangular piece of paper 1 cm wide and 6 cm long with two
ends cut into different shapes. We used a color pen to write characters or
symbols on the paper, rolled up the paper into a ball with a diameter of 4 mm,
and then used cotton thread to bind it into a test sample. The aim of using
the rolled-up sample for testing was to examine whether or not the opening
process when sensing rolled-up paper was similar to that of mechanically open-
ing a piece of rolled-up paper. Table 2 gives the results of several tests.
From the descriptions of Xiaoli and Xiaopu, when sensing characters and
figures on rolled-up paper, there still occurred the process of repeated opening

and closing of the rolled-up paper. When the rolled-up paper was still not
completely opened, sometimes
")" appeared and sometimes "
appeared.
Moreover, the figures on the rolled-up paper could rotate in the brain. The
sequence of the appearance of the characters and figures on the rolled-up
paper sometimes first appeared near the inside end of the pattern and some-
times appeared near the outside end of the pattern. Sometimes they also ap-
peared in the middle of the rolled-up paper. This shows that the opening
process of figures on rolled-up paper is not related to the outside end in
a rolled-up paper sample, and it is also different from mechanically flatten-
ing out rolled-up paper with the hands.
After tests on recognizing crumpled and rolled-up paper samples, we
further noted that the use of special inductive functions to sense samples
was completely different from using the eyes to see things. One eye perceived
the projection of an object in space on a certain surface but could not dis-
criminate the projections of overlapping figures. Special inductive func-
tions can be used to sense three-dimensional objects in space and can also
carry out more complex processing. Based on the opening processes described
by the testees, they are similar to the repetitive grouping of figures in
space by a computer. The differences between the several testees in their
sensing of figures are possibly related to the strengths of their special
inductive functions. Xiaofeng and Xiaohong participated in many special in-
ductive function tests and generally their functions were relatively strong,
so that after the sample was opened once it could be clearly and completely
recognized. When Xiaoli and Xiaopu participated in special inductive func-
tion tests which were conducted relatively late in the day, their functions
were at an intermediate level and only after processing the samples many
times could they cause the figures of the sample to advance from partially to
completely open. Sometimes, Xiaoli was unable to recognize completely and
clearly the test contents. After the figure of the sample closed up it did
not open again, so that it was best to halt the process. This shows that
the level and sustained time of opening for the sample are related possibly
to the level of the special inductive function. Based on the results of us-
ing multifolded samples, as well as crumpled and rolled-up paper, to examine
the sensing process of pictures by special inductive functions in the human
body, this type of sensing process is not the mechanical copying of samples;
but it is rather a more complex process, whereby an existing weak signal is
drawn from an interference background, 1 selection for recognition is based
on the number of the layer, ? and the figures in space open up to become plane
figures. Today, scientific techniques such as hologram photography, fault
photography, CT, recombination of figures in space, etc., have already been
realized, and an examination of the principles of these scientific techniques
can perhaps help us to understand the mechanisms of special inductive func-
tions 'a the human body. Moreover, special inductive functions in the human
body have possibly more profound significance than these modern scientific
and technological achievements.

SUBJECT TITLE:
PATTERN RECOGNITION OF THE HUMAN BODY WITHOUT USING THE EYES
AUTHOR:
Ye Ziquan (Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of
Sciences). . .
Since the publication of the "Observation Report of 'Non-Visual Pattern
Recognition'" in the Nature Journal [Ziran Zazhi], there have been many find-
ings and reports published in our country. Our observation findings also
confirm that some people possess the ability to recognize patterns without
using their eyes. The facts prove that certain people can use many parts of
their body to discriminate colors, characters, pictures, flat and folded
objects, and even pictures on crumpled pieces of paper without using their
eyes. Moreover, they can penetrate through paper, plastic, aluminum foil,
copper foil, and various other obstructions. Because the process of sight-
less pattern recognition is relatively slow and because images appear in the
forehead, the testee can write or orally relate the process and results of
their own perceptions. Therefore, we can use the abilities of the human body
itself to observe the process of sightless pattern recognition.
This article treats the sightless pattern recognition capability of the
human body, including the recognition of colors and shapes of pictures, the
recognition sequence, the function of position fixing and turning during
recognition, the function of orientation, the function of measuring the angle,
the assembling and conformity functions, the functions of study, making con-
tact and contrast, as well as the feelings of vibration which occur during
recognition.
Methods
We used various colored characters, symbols, and pictures written on
white paper as the test samples. Some were studied and recognized by the
testees, while others were images which the testees had never come in contact
with.
1.
The test sample which was fixed in direction, as well as open and
flat, was stuck to the center of the palm of the testee. The testee was not
permitted to move the position of the picture in his palm, and the left and
right palms independently carried out sightless recognition.
2.
The test sample was open and flat or folded, and it was placed
directly on the palm in a random direction for sightless recognition.
3.
Certain protective screens were arranged for the test sample:
we used black paper wrapping; it was placed in a cardboard box with wall
thickness of 1 mm and dimensions of 52 x 34 x 15 mm2; it was placed in a
black resin ink box with wall thickness of 2 mm, a diameter of 60 mm, and a
height of 20 mm; it was placed in an aluminum box with wall thickess of 0.2
mm, a diameter of 68 mm, and a height of 90 mm; the test sample was rolled up
and placed in a glass test tube with wall thickness of 1 mm, a diameter of
10 mm, and a height of 100 mm; the test sample was placed in the above-men-
tioned container in a random direction and the testee held the container in
his hands for sightless recognition.

Each sensation reported by the testee during the recognition process
was recorded by a tester or spoken out and written down by the testee.
Testees: A (11 years old, female), B (10 years old, male), C (7 years
old, female), D (5 years old, male).
Results and Discussions
1.
Observations of the Recognition Sequence
When the sightless pattern recognition functions occurred, the testee
said he sensed a light screen moving on his forehead and sensed one screen
after another of the figure disclosed. One screen after another appeared
separately in a certain sequence, and finally he sensed the appearance of the
entire figure. The results are shown in Table 1.

We can see from the observations that the process of sightless pattern
recognition of the human body is a process with a certain sequence. It can
divide the characters and figures into certain types of figure units, such as
" -", " [", "/", "\", ".", "+", "X", "3", etc. for recognition. However,
it is not carried out in sequence according to the strokes of Chinese charac-
ters. Various shapes of screens are used for test samples which are flat and
open, folded and rolled. After a testee recognizes the system and obtains
the test sample information, he first differentiates the total contour, color,
etc. of the test sample and then separately processes the separate parts of
the characters. For example, " 92
is A +
+
is "
4
+7
K
+
15 " is "I + 5
'for simple characters, the character "
IJ, and then" " " is " 4 + 0
.
{ " is divided into the recognition pro-
cess of " A +++." The processes of the two accounts by testees A and B
were the same for the recognition of the character " ." It is of interest
that testee A seemed to enjoy searching from the protruding part of the out-
side towards the center and setting up logical connections. For example,
"+ " was " I
> = + + , " "B" was '
C
]
++ +B " or " 0 ++."
" "" was "I +I."
However, testee B took even greater delight in pull-
=
ing together the strokes in the same direction. For example,
=
" was
+ 2 +-++
,
0," "0" was "= +11+8 +0," and 98
=
was "!
+
+B + 1 + + ." Moreover, the more strokes in a certain
direction, the earlier the sensing occurs. We call the method of testee A
the partial to imitation type and the method of teste
is called the partial
to inference type.
It is very possible that the sequential sensing of sightless pattern
recognition by the human body truly reflects the relative speed processes of
the i.uman brain in dividing and discriminating pattern information. The dif-
ferences between the methods of testees A and B are possibly related to their
sexual distinctions, individual characters, ages, educational levels, and
other factors.
As regards the sensing of sequential recognition,' the testees stated
that when one "screen" image flashed by and they still said not clearly "see"
it, they could use their thoughts to pull back the "screen" and "look" at
it again. That is to say, it is controlled by one's consciousness. The se-
quential image sensing of the figure unit is the result of the analysis of

speed processes of the analysis of the figure. However, the integral display
of the final results is the data and results of people's high- vel central
discrimination.
2.
Position Fixing and Turning Functions
For figures with axial symmetry or which are non-symmetrical we aimed
them directionally in the direction of the testee's middle finger, the sur-
face of the figure faced the center of the palm, and the left and right hand
palms or clenched fists separately carried out sightless processing. Testee
A was tested with 18 figures, 9 in each of her hands; testee B was tested
with 6 figures, 3 in each of his hands, and he carried out repeet j- pampling
tests. The testees said that when they "saw" the figure on the light "screen"
on their foreheads, they used the middle finger as the top and the wrist as .
the bottom. It was the same as "seeing" the figure right in front of the
forehead. When the hands were lowered or level, or when the person was
standing, sitting, and lying down, there was no influence on the sensing
direction of the figure. It was as if the eyes were forming in the palms
of the hands, the head was pointed toward the tip of the middle finger, the
feet were facing the wrists, and the face was looking toward the figure.
See Fig. 1 for the results.
The results of the' observations show that the sightlees pattern recog-
nition functions of the human body have directional abilities es This type of
directional ability is a necessary condition of pattern recognition without
using the eyes. It can be assumed that if direction finding is not possible,
then it will be impossible to realize pattern recognition withoutusing the
eyes.
How does sightless pattern recognition discriminate direction?
One possibility is that if a path which has figure information trans-
mitted in it is induced by the skin, then the relative positional direction
of the skin and figure are fixed, and the skin and brain tissue also have
certain corresponding relationships. That is, as regards the relationship
between "induction" and "feeling," the direction of the tips of the middle
fingers of the left and right hands is the same as the direction of the top
of the head of the body's axis. However, when the left and right hands have
inversion symmetry, the position of each spot on the hands also has an inver-
sion symmetry relationship in the brain. This causes the figures recognized
separately by the left and right hands of the testee to have the same recog-
nition results in the brain.
This type of directional rule is possibly innate in humans.
Moreover,
each part of the human body possibly has correspondences between the direc-
tional axis and central axis. It was observed that when the test sample char-
acter "@ " was placed in a random direction in the hand of testee "D," his
account was "@ ." However, as can be seen from Table 1, when the character
"2 " was placed in a random direction in the hand of testee B, the recogni-
tion sequence related by testee B was " "( + = + a

not yet attended school, whereas testee B had already been attending school

For figures randomly placed in the hands, ears, and other parts of the
body, as well as for figures placed in certain kinds of containers, the sight-
less pattern recognition capability of the human body can still accurately

From an analysis of the test results, after the picture information

We can see from Table 2 that the figure units are not parallel nor per-
pendicular to the center axis and transverse axis, and their sensed images
often appear continuously or simultaneously.
" +""," "*" + "A +
-> "*" "* "+ "-+-++ ," etc., show that there are measuring
angle position fixing functions in the information processing of sightless
pattern information. However, if the position fixing function of the ratio
of the measuring angle fixed position to length do not match well, then the
error of "A" assembled into "f " can occur. It can be considered that measur-
ing angle position fixing has a process of independent analytical processing.
As regards the recognition of circular and arched patterns, the testees
said that the circular shaped images were sensed in their entireties, and the
circles were always sensed before the arcs. In the recognition of circles,
the phenomenon whereby there was division into separate sections of arcs
which were later connected together did not occur. The observations are given
in Fig. 1. For the pattern "
," testee A said that "there are two circles
and the one in the middle is black and indistinct." This shows that there
is an independent process for the processing of circles and arcs in the sight-
less pattern recognition by the human body. This area of work still requires
further observations. We can see from Table 1 that for more complex charac-
ters, such as",""巧,"",""台,""前进,""上学去,"etc., the
method of processing by dividing the characters into parts was used. More-
over, we can see that following the development of recognition functions, the
figure units divided for recognition can change from simple to relatively
complex. After the process of dividing the characters into parts, they then
use uniform proportions, fixed positions, measuring angle, etc., between each
divided part to form a complex character pattern.

Practice, Making Contact, and Contrastive Functions
We discovered in the observation process that following an increase in
the number of tests on the testees, the testees said that the sightless recog-
nition of characters was "one character at a time jumping on a light screen."

For example, this was true of later observations of "[[advance].

[hard work does not shoulder strong-willed people]," etc. This shows that
the sightless pattern recognition function by the human body comes into con-
tact with data processing channels after being used many times. This is a
self-organizing function, and it causes the recognition capabilities to in-
crease from the recognition of simple figure units to the recognition of
complex figure units. We call it the "making-contact function.
The testees must always check their own sightless recognition results
and samples. The testees always appear very happy when there are correct
sightless recognition results. This is also a process of gaining practice,
so that after study and training, the speed and ability of testees to process
figure information can be raised. The "making-contact function" in the sight-
less pattern recognition by the human body is the basis of the ability to
gain practice through training. The strength of the ability to study reflects
the strength of the "making-contact ability" and study can strengthen the
"making-contact function."
The testees could copy out the characters on the samples which they
did not know, for example,
=
,
"," etc. Moreover, they could compare
and even guess and determine them from what they had already studied:

example, they distinguished "" " by saying it had one less dot
