PSI RESEARCH
EXCEPTIONAL HUMAN BODY RADIATION
Chinese Academy of Sciences, High Energy Institute,
Special Physics Research Team
The fact that the human body can develop the ability of
exceptional vision [eyeless sight] suggests that in the
natural world there may exist a unique, still unknown
radiation. Since 1979, Szechuan Ribao, Beijing Keji Bao
(Peking Science Report), Ziran (Nature), and other journals
have published findings on exceptional capabilities of the
human body. Using available techniques, we have conducted
complex experimental research relating to methods of testing
and measuring such unknown radiation. Among these
techniques, the most effective are the following:
(1) Tests with nuclear emulsion film and X-ray film;
(2) tests with thermoluminescent film; (3) tests with a
biodetector; (4) tests with a light quanta detector.
Exceptional human capabilities can manifest as various
types of phenomena. We realize that only by finding a
precise, objective basis, and by gradually establishing
controlled test methods, can we bridge research in
exceptional human capabilities and present experimental
science. Only then can we delineate the frontier between
science and superstition.
Tests of "Exceptional Vision"
with Nuclear Emulsion FUn
In nuclear and particle physics research, testing with
film is one of the most reliable and convenient ways of
detecting natural radioactivity, the presence of pi-mesons,
K-mesons, Z -hyperons, and other particles.
According to initial tests, the majority of persons
with "exceptional vision," while exercising their capa-
bility, could expose film sealed in a light-proof container
with Chinese characters which the subject was attempting to
identify. Over 700 tests with X-ray film, over 50 tests
with nuclear emulsion film, and numerous tests with ordinary
photographic film were conducted. These experiments demon-
strated that when the subjects who possessed "exceptional
IIA/fil A-
V 16
i
vision" correctly recognized the characters, they simul-
taneously produced exposures of the film placed near the
characters as well as other unusual effects. Occasionally
they were even able to project images of the characters onto
the nearby film (Figs. 1,2).
When a microscope was used to observe unusual exposures
of a nuclear emulsion film produced by Yu, an individual
with "exceptional vision," it was found that most of the
silver grains removed from the membrane had accumulated in a
surface layer of 0-10 microns. The maximum depth was about
30 microns. The vertical distribution of silver grains
indicated that the influence of unknown radiation is similar
to the effect of visible light, but the penetration of this
radiation is somewhat deeper into the emulsion.
Thorough inspection of the container used for the film
test, of the testing methods, and of the brush and paper
[for writing the characters], excluded known types of
radiation, fluorescence, chemical interactions, light leaks
or radioactive decay'from producing the observed effect.
Comparison of selected containers of different shapes and
materials in various experimental conditions led to the
following conclusions:
1. This unknown radiation, when compared to known types
of physical radiation, manifests a more complicated spatial
distribution.
2. The radiation has unusual penetrating power and
selectivity. Only when near the recognized target
characters, does it produce effects resembling the physical
effects of visible light, while in other areas its impact is
near zero.
Tests of "Exceptional Vision"
with Thermolusioescent Fiat
The use of thermoluminescent film for measuring radio-
activity is one of the most appropriate and sensitive
methods. It is widely used in nuclear medicine as well as
in environmental and personal dosimetric observation.
Fig. 3 shows statistical results of preliminary tests
with thermoluminescent film, obtained from approximately

4,000 experiments in the exceptional-vision process. During
these tests, influences of infrared, magnetic, and chemical
factors, and even of solar activity, were compared to the
influence of "exceptional vision" and eliminated. The test
results have shown:
1. When individuals with "exceptional vision" exercise
their capability, they can influence thermoluminescent film,
placed near the recognized characters, 102-103 more than is
observed in control tests [i.e. without the attempted
influence of any individual].
2. When individuals who do not manifest exceptional
capabilities attempt to exert the influence on the same sort
of samples, they also can produce a response on thermo-
luminescent film many times greater than in control tests.
3. When exceptional individuals were tested in their
usual state, i.e., when not exercising their special
capability, the response of thermoluminescent film was not
clearly different from that produced by normal individuals.
The design of the thermoluminescent film test resembles that
of the test with photographic film. Results of these tests
partially confirm the results of the photographic film tests
and provide a quantitative basis for some initial measure-
ments. They not only show that during "exceptional vision"
a strong unknown radiation is emitted, but also show that
normal persons emit a relatively low, unknown radiation as
well.
For these tests we used American film, made by the
Harshaw Chemical Co.: 6LiF, 7LiF, CaF, and Chinese film LiF
(Mg, Ti). A thermoluminescent dosimetric analyser produced
by the Beijing Synthetic Apparatus Plant (model FL-369) was
used for evaluating results.
Tests of Unknown Radiation with a Bi,odetector
The greatest disadvantage of photographic and thermo-
luminescent film tests is their failure to show kinetic
response [changes in time], so that there is no way to study
the delicate time specificity of unknown radiation.
Both the biodetector and the light quanta detector can
demonstrate kinetic responses in a test system, but the
various types of biodetectors provide more possibilities for
experimentation. We have already used a set of simple
biodetectors for measuring bioelectric changes in a plant
leaf vein (Fig. 4). Yet, because the main component of the
biodetector is a living system [a plant leaf],* we cannot
expect that the system has sufficient stability. Never-
theless, since the degree of sensitivity obtained from this
method is significant, and since it is relatively widespread
and easy to operate, it will certainly arouse the interest
of many researchers.
The system can sensitively record the impact of unknown
radiation related to the exceptional-vision process as well
as indicate impulses (Fig. 5) caused by unknown radiation
from normal individuals trained in exceptional abilities.
However, when compared with the responses obtained in the
exceptional-vision process, in the latter case the waveform
of responses is different (Fig. 6). The other radiation
sources used (heat source, infrared light, and visible
radiation), when influencing the biodetector, did not elicit
responses of comparable sensitivity. Since moisture and
chemical effects produced different responses, they were
eliminated as possible causes.
Tests of Unknown Radiation
with a Light-Quanta Detector
The light-quanta detector overcomes the drawbacks of
the biodetector, i.e., its lack of stability. It yields
virtually the same results as the biodetector tests,
although its degree of sensitivity may be insufficient for
studying trained abilities. (For a design of the system,
see Fig. 7.) The system, however, is equally sensitive with
regard to visible light, near infrared, and near ultra-
violet. At a wavelength of 4,400 A, the peak value of
photon efficiency is about 20-30%. The system is also
sensitive to electrons above the megaelectron-volt level,
such as from a Sr`? beta source.

Our oscillographic observations, shielding, adequate
grounding, and other measures eliminated the possibility of
interference from environmental magnetic impulses. We
simultaneously eliminated conditions for light leaks and
wear and tear during the tests.
Our tests have demonstrated that the system produced
very strong impulse responses to the processes accompanying
"exceptional vision." The leading edge of such impulses is
extremely steep; the count value is at least 102 - 103 times
more than the system's control value. The value of a
plotter suddenly rose within a second from 1,000 to 10,000
counts, while the control value was 80?20 counts every 6
seconds. Such a high value ratio usually causes a multi-
channel analyser to generate overload blocking. Individuals
with "exceptional vision" must touch the surface of the
light-proof material (many layers of black cloth), or their
radiation will be outside of the "measuring area." All
these factors obscure the above results to a certain extent,
although these results do agree with the findings pertaining
to the width of permeability and fixed-area selectivity
yielded by the film tests. It is hard to imagine that
ordinary photons or electrons could penetrate such material,
reach the photocathode, and thus be recorded.
This system can also elicit a corresponding response to
unknown radiation produced by normal persons exercising
their trained abilities. Yet, compared to the special-
vision process, the oscillation of their response signals
will be much slower, and the intensity of pulsation much
lower. Study of the spectrum of rise or fall of the count
pulses in such responses demonstrates that the response
spectrum of the unknown radiation coming from the excep-
tional vision process contains a maximum of high-amplitude
count pulses. The trained-ability spectrum contains almost
no high amplitude count pulses (Fig. 8).
The above four test methods, while still very
rudimentary, are relatively basic and can be duplicated.
Their results are mutually confirmatory and supplement one
another. The first steps have proven that, in the natural
world, there exists an unknown radiation which is recipro-
cally connected with the life process. Compared with
generally known physical radiation, this radiation has a
more complex distribution in space and time. When recorded
by the biodetector or photon detector, it demonstrates an
impulse waveform with a rather steep leading edge. Its
pulsation intensity is at least 100-1,000 times more than in
control tests. There are no fixation periods.
This radiation possesses a special penetrative ability
and fixed area sensitivity. Near target objects it has the
effect of visible light. It has a physical basis resembling
that of unknown radiation during the trained-ability
activity of normal persons.
We hope that our first steps will lead to more progress
in research.

In early experiments we used standard nuclear emulsion

film as would light. on which registers on
To follow up these results we carried out further
experimentation using a photomultiplier tube measurement
system as a detector of EHBF radiation. In this work,
signals were detected in measurements monitoring Individuals
with special skills. The following is a summary of these
measurements.
For the first series of measurements we used a system
for which the background count rate was about 100 counts per
6-sec interval. During experiments to
radiation, peak count rates reached approximately EHBF
per b-sec interval, an increase of 2 to 3 y 1 or counts

analyzer. With the scale set to observe count rates
associated with EI1BF radiation, the background count rate
does not show In this figure because of its small magnitude.
Over the period during which we measured EHBF radiation
many tunes, we discovered that the radiation appeared in the
form of pulses of extremely short duration. In order to
improve the accuracy of our measurements of EIIBF radiation,
we then assembled the following system.

In this configuration, EHBF radiation detected by the
photomulttplier tube is sampled at a 1 millisecond rate.
The output of the sampling circuit is fed into a
microprocessor, which processes the data and thus acts as a
radiation monitor. Using this particular system to study
EHBF radiation, we are able to study such radiation in the
time domain.

The above sequences were obtained during efforts of a
little girl to recognize hidden words sealed in an opaque
enclosure containing the photomultiplier tube. The changes
occurred during the time she recognized a word correctly.
For comparison, the background count rate typically does not
exceed 4 counts per millisecond interval.
The above results indicate that EHBF radiation occurs
during time intervals of only a few milliseconds, and in
some cases may occur as pulses of less than I msec duration.
In other words, whenever radiation appears, the appearance
is very short, and the transient change is extreme [emphasis
added - Ed.].
Although in our experiment it would appear that we have
measured light, this does not necessarily mean that EHBF
radiation is in the form of light. All we can say is that
in this test we have obtained the particular effect
described. Since the enclosure containing a word to be
recognized is opaque to light, one possibility is that the

produce light. This signal is then registered, and it is
the measurement of the light signal which reveals the
temporal characteristics of the EIIBF radiation. Therefore,
the actual carrier mechanism involved in EHBF radiation is
still an open question that requires further study.

DECIPHERING TILE NERVE CODE OF HUMAN
MENTAL ACTIVITY: SOVIET RESEARCH
Dr. Alexander.Kaplunovsky
Kfar Saba, Israel
The article presented below is translated
from Tainovedenie (No. 2, 1982), an Israeli
magazine in Russian published by Avraham Shifrin
and a group of emigrants from the USSR. Though it
is not directly connected with studies of psi, we
feel that it might be of interest to our readers.
- Ed.
In the middle of the 1970's researchers in the Soviet
Union had come very close to solving the problem of
deciphering the nerve code of human mental activity.
Conducting research in this area became possible after the
implanting of multiple long-term electrodes came into
clinical practice. The theoretical purpose of the research
was the study of the neurophysiological coding and decoding
of the brains structural and functional organization in
response to psychological tests on short and long-term
memory.
The practical goals of the research were:
1. A more precise formulation of clinical diagnosis of
cerebral lesions and a better choice of optimal methods of
treatment.
2. The development of methods for selecting the
optimal locations in the brain for treatment and regulation
by electrostimulation.
3. Controlling memory processes.
4. Deciphering a subject's mental activity on the basis
of the statistical processing of the activity of neuron
populations in deep brain structures.
I was a direct participant in researching this topic,
first as a volunteer student (1965-1970) and later (1970-
1975) as a research associate at the Department of Human
Neurophysiology of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences'
Institute of Experimental Medicine in Leningrad. (The head
