OBJECTIVE (U) (U) The objective of this effort is to pursue, in response to solicitation number MDA908-92-R 01b4, the most promising basic and applied research in understanding anomalous mental phenomena (AMP).

BACKGROUND (U) (U) With regard to this proposal, AMP can be divided into two broad categories: ? Anomalous Cognition (A_Cl,: The awareness of information that is considered otherwise shielded from all known sensory channels. ? Anomalous Perturbation (r~1: The perturbation of physical matter under conditions of complete physical and sensorial isolation. 1. Historical Perspective (U) (S/NF) Serious government-funded research of both these domains began in 1973 when the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) initiated a modest effort to determine if a genuine anomalous phenomenon could be verified and to assess the degree to which it could be applied to general intelligence problems. Through fiscal year 1990, a variety of intelligence organizations from the military services and the De- fence Intelligence Agency (DIA) had supported predominantly application-oriented research pro- grams at SR][ International in Menlo Park, CA. (S/NF) Beginning in fiscal year 1986, the U. S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) initiated the first coordinated, long-term examination of AC and AP phenomena. This program had three major objectives: ? Provide incontrovertible evidence for the existence of AC and AP. ? Determine the physiological and physical basis for AC and AP. ? Determine the degree to which AC data could be integrated into the intelligence community. (S/NF) The results and conclusions from the Army program were: ? The first objective had been partially met. An information transfer anomaly exists (i.e., AC) that can not be explained by inappropriate protocols, incorrect analyses, or fraud; however, there was insuffi- cient evidence to conclude if AP exists. ? Significant progress had been made in meeting the second objective. For example, (1) The central nervous system (i.e., the brain) of individuals with known AC ability appeared to re- spond to isolated AC stimuli. These responses were similar to those observed when their eyes were stimulated directly. (2) 'Iivo physical models have been constructed. One (called Decision Augmentation Theory) sys- tematizesthe data of over 600 separate experiments spanning 22 years in the open literature and suggests a possible physical transfer mechanism for AC data. The other is a speculative funda- mental physical model for the type of information that is sensed by AC. (U) Under the same research program, a number of different physical systems were examined for their susceptibility to putative AP effects. They included single-cell algae, single alpha particles, and elec- Approved For Relea~~Qj1~'~~('~~6-007898003100200001-5 2 TechnicalAl~ For Releas~~~l~~~~F-00789R003100200001-5 tropic devices such as random number generators and piezoelectric strain gages. However, in these carefully controlled experiments, some with experienced AP subjects, no evidence of AP was observed. 2. Recent Program (U) (S/NF) Beginning in February 1991, DIA initiated a comprehensive, 1$ month, investigation of AMP at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). In that program, basic research was de- fined asresearch that is primarily oriented toward understanding the physical, biophysical, physiologi- cal, and psychological mechanisms of AC. Applied research was defined as research that is primarily directed toward improving the output quality of AC data. (S/NF) Tha; primary thrust of that effort was to: ? Prepare a comprehensive, integrated, S-year research plan ? Conduct basic and applied research that supported operational applications of AMP. Experiments included investigations of central nervous system responses to AC stimuli and physical properties of AC targets. A complete description of all the experiments and their results can be found in technical fvnal report.l"' We summarize here, however, three major findings. (S/NF) We found a significant correlation between the quality of AC data and a single physical target prop- erty, the total change of Shannon entropy. Should this result be verified in a formal replication attempt, then it can be easily integrated into further laboratory studies and guide the selection of targets that are likely to yield positive results in operations. (U) In the same experiment, we determined that it is not a requirement of AC functioning for an indi- vidual (i.e., sendert) to observe directly an intended AC target. (U) The results of our megnetoencephalograph investigation is less cleaz. We uncovered a flaw in the math- ematical analysis that prevented us from determining if the central nervous system responds to remote stim- uli; however, we are currently re-analyzing the data with better techniques. The results of that analysis will be available as part of an extension of the original work. (S/NF) In very preliminary trials, we observed possible AP effects in special wave detectors. 3. Proposed New Effort (U) (S/NF) 'This proposal suggests two major experimental efforts and a variety of theoretical and other exper- imental investigations. We propose to improve the measurement of psychophysiological parameters to op- timize the likelihood of observing response to remote stimuli. Because of a direct application potential, we propose to replicate our earlier finding: determine if the tatal change of Shannon entropy is a valid intrinsic property of AC targets. The remainder of this document describes our proposal in detail.

APPROACH (U) (U) Each heading in this section includes numerical references to the statement of work (SOW) con- tained in solicitation MDA908-92-R 0164. 1. Basic Research (SOW 6.1) (Uj (U) Basic research of AMP is defined as that activity that is primarily designed to understand the pa- rameters of and theoretical basis for AMP. 1.1 Biopt~ysicai Measurements (SOW fi.1.1) (U) (U) Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) will conduct two different biophysical in- vestigations. SAIC will: ? Determine if the dominant alpha rhythm is affected by remote and isolated stimuli. ? Determine if the electrical properties of the skin act as indicators of AMP. 1.1.1 Electroencephalograph Measurements (SOW 6.1.1.1-6) (U) 1.1.1.1 Objective (U) (U) The objective of this effort is to perform electroencephalograph (EEG) measurements for the pur- pose of identifying neurophysiological parameters that correlate with anomalous cognition (AC). Tb achieve this goal, the behavioral setting for the EEG measurements should match, as closely as possible, that of a usual AC session. 1.1.1.2 Background (U) (U) In a series of EEG experiments conducted at SRI International beginning in 1974, the central ner- vous system (CNS) of individuals was found to respond to remote and isolated visual stimuli (i.e., a flashing light).2,3,4 In the first experiment, during randomly interleaved 10-second epochs (i.e., trials), either a flashing light (16 Hz) or no light was present in a sensorially and physically isolated room. Sig- nificant decreases of occipital alpha power of isolated receivers were observed by Rebert and Turner? T~vo replications were conducted in collaboration with Galin and Ornstein at the Langley Porter Neu- ropsychiatric Institute. As reported by May et al., the results were inconclusive; the first replication confirmed the Rebert and Turner finding, a decrease of alpha power concomitant with the flashing light, but the second replication attempt found an increase in alpha power.4 (U) Under another program in FY 1989, SRI International and the Biophysics Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory conducted an experiment using the magnetoencephalograph (MEG) technique. This experiment was designed as a conceptual extension of the May et al. EEG experiment, although there were :cigniflcant differences in the protocol. Tivo types of stimuli were randomly presented to an isolated sender while MEG data were collected from a receiver. The experimental stimulus (i.e., re- mote stimulus) was a 5-cm square, linear, vertical sinusoidal grating lasting 100 milliseconds. The se- Approved For Release ~~j$~~96-007898003100200001-5 4 Technical lptpgglr0'r81d For Release ~~$~~96-007898003100200001-5 cond stimulus, a control stimulus (i.e., pseudostimulus), was simply a time marker corresponding to a blank screen in the data stream, and was also delivered to the sender. There was no change in the alpha power, as reported by May et al., but a post hac analysis revealed aroot-mean-square average phase shift of the dominant alpha frequency.$ A key result of that experiment was that similar "anomalous" phase shifts were obtained for the remote stimuli and the pseudostimuli. Three candidate explanations for these results were suggested. The observed phase shifts might have been: ? Spurious (i.e., statistical deviations within chance expectations) ? Electromagnetic artifacts ? Evidence of anomalous cognition (U) In order to determine which of these three candidate explanations was correct, SAIC replicated the study in Los Alamos during 1992. In the replication experiment, ten times the amount of data from the 1989 study was collected, including an equal number of control runs, which wntained an equal number of trials with no receiver present under the MEG to check for possible electromagnetic artifacts. (U) As of A~xgust 1992, the final results of our MEG investigations are pending. Using the same analytical techniques that were used in the 1989 study, we did not observe significant alpha activity concomitant with remote stimuli; however, we realized, after the fact, that the 1989 analytical technique contained a subtle flaw. We were attempting to measure instantaneous phase shifts of the dominant alpha rhythm in the pres- ence of considerable noise (i.e. the signal-to-noise ratio was approximately 0 decibels). Under this circxun- stance, the variance of the phase is primarily determined by the noise (i.e., the Crammer-Rao relation- ship6). Thus, if there were phase shifts related to the remote stimuli, we would not have seen them, as shown by the Crammer-Rao relationship. (U) Aside from the technical difficulties associated with the Crammer-Rao relationship, all of our earlier attempts to identify CNS correlates to AC did not contain any concomitant behavioral measure of AC, and the conditions under which experiments were conducted were not similar to those known to be conducive to the producticm of AC data. For example, there is no evidence that a flashing light constitutes a valid AC target. It is also likely that when EEG electrodes are attached to a receiver's scalp or if a receiver is asked to recline face down in a MEG laboratory, that the conditions for the receiver are not optimal. Therefore, we have no independent measures that AC functioning occurred in these experiments. 1.1.1.3 Proposed Experiments (U) (U) We propose to design and conduct experiments to measure CNS responses to AC-stimuli, and since we will not be initially concerned about source localization, we will not immediately require the special proper- ties of a MEG, and thus, realize a significant cost savings. Should the proposed experiments warrant, how- ever, we will provide access to appropriate MEG technology. EEG technology is capable of addressing the specific variables in the Statement of Work. ]n addition, we are able to observe all areas of the brain, albeit with less spatial resolution, with a single measurement-a sigtficant labor/cost savings. (U) Specifically, we will remedy the problems that were described above in a series of EEG experiments that ? Use stimuli that are identical to those in standard AC experiments ? Demonstrate CNS correlates to these stimuli when they are directly presented to receivers ? Provide a potential for independent, but concomitant, behavioral evidence for AC Approved For Release ~>~4a~'$~~~p96-007898003100200001-5 5 Technical d For Releass~.'~f'~~~Q~~~6-007898003100200001-5 In addition, we will use EEG measures that more closely resemble those used in more traditional psy- chophysiologicalexperiments. One such example is event-related desynchronization (ERD). Spontaneous EEG reveals short-lasting, task- or event-related amplitude changes in rhythmic activity within the alpha band. This amplitude change or desynchronization is one of the elementary phenomena in EEG. It was first described in 1930 by Berger in scalp EEG as alpha blocking, and was later termed ERD by Pfurtscheller and Aranibar.$ ERDs can be quantified as a function of time and can then be used to study cortical activation patterns during the planning of motor behavior,9 sensory stimulation, and cognitive processes.10,11,12 Kaufman et al. provide a more recent example of cognitive-process-related ERDs.13 They found a significantly shorter ERD when subjects simply responded to a target stimulus, compared with the ERD that oc- curredwhen asubject had to search visual memory to determine whether the target matched one pre- viouslypresented. Because ERDs can be observed in a variety of tasks, they are a likely variable to use to study how the CNS responds to AC stimuli. 1.1.1.4 Proposed Experiments (U) (U) Experiment 1. We propose to replicate an observation by Kaufman et al. of ERDs from visual stim- uli. We propose, however, to change the stimuli to those that more closely match AC targets (i.e., photographs from the National Geographic magazine). Other than that, the experiment will closely fol- low that of Kaufman et al. The primary purpose of this replication will be to demonstrate CNS corre- lates (i.e., ERDs) to AC-like stimuli that are directly presented to the receivers. These ERDs will serve as a system calibration and may provide data for an adaptive filter to enhance the signal-detection of ERDs when the stimuli are remote. (U) A secondary purpose of this replication is based upon the results of Kaufman et al. They found a significant lengthening of the ERDs when their subjects were asked to review internal mental images. One variable: that maybe important in understanding AC is mental imagery, since for novice receivers, mental imagery is thought to be a source of confounding mental noise. More advanced receivers, how- ever, are able to use mental imagery as a source of valid information. We will examine qualitatively the relationship between the duration of ERDs for advanced and novice receivers when they are asked to scan internal mental images. (S/NF) Experiment 2. The objective is to observe ERDs with AC stimuli. Tb achieve this goal, we will explore a variety of approaches to measure ERDs under circumstances that closely match those during a standard AC session. All approaches will use the stimulus set from Experiment 1, above. In pilot ex- periments, wewill determine an optimal protocol and then conduct a formal experiment using that protocol. The pilot approaches will include, but will not be limited to: ? Searching for ERDs during a standard AC session while a receiver is writing and drawing. Muscle artifacts may be a problem; however, we can determine their impact with a few pilot trials. ? Using a counterbalanced random protocol to conduct a standard AC session without EEG followed by an EEG session where only AC mental activity is used to access the same target. We will collect behavioral AC data as closely as possible to the CNS data. In addition, the protocols for the behavioral and CNS experiments will be as similar as possible. In pilot trials, we will correlate the behavioral d;~ta with the CNS data to determine if behavior can be an a priori indication of a receiver's performance in CNS experiments. If so, we can use this indicator to enhance the likelihood of observing Approved For Releas$~?$~~~0~-Q~6-007898003100200001-5 6 Technical l~gpa~Jd For Releas~'~~-007898003100200001-5 SG1 B effects in the CNS data during formal trials. Likewise, we maybe able to use CNS data to indicate a priori performance in operational AC tasks. (U) In both EEG experiments, standard techniques for sensor placement, artifact rejection, and data collection will be employed. In addition, a "dummy" lead, which will be connected to a fixed resistor, will be used to check for possible electromagnetic artifacts. (U) Depending upon the outcome of the pilot trials, we will use the optimized protocol to conduct a formal experiment to test the hypothesis that the CNS responds to remote AC stimuli. If the formal experiment is successful, we will be more able to address a variety of other variables that maybe impor- tant in determining the CNS's response to AC stimuli. For example, we will than explore the impact of different stimuli (e.g., audio, various changes of entropy) and whether parameters such as distance, shielding, and sender condition affect the functioning. 1.1.2 Electrodermal Potential Measurements (SOW 6.1.1.7) (U) (U) In 1990 and again in 1992, Braud et al. reported on electrodermal correlates of remote atten- tion.t4,15 'T'hey found that the electrodermal properties of receivers correlated significantly with the intense attention, via closed circuit TV, of an isolated and remote experimenter (i.e., p G 0.009, effect size = 0.59). Four other experiments of a similar nature have been reported in the literature since 1913, but Braud et al. observed the largest effect size. The technical arguments for the existence of such a correlation may be found in their report. (U) To examine the claim, we propose to conduct a replication of the Braud et al. experiment. Using a balanced random schedule of attention and rest periods of a remote gazer, we will continuously monitor the electrodermal activity of each receiver. We will explore a number of possible analysis techniques, but they will include a normalized ratio of electrodermal activity in effort and rest periods, the tech- nique used by Braud et al. (U) We will conduct a brief pilot experiment to assure that protocol, equipment, and analysis are work- ingproperly ,and will modify the protocol as needed during this period. We anticipate that approximate- ly 20 individuals will be screened for a positive electrodermal response. The five best of these will be used in a formal experiment. Should the formal experiment succeed, we will add EEG to the protocol and repeat t}ie measurements. (U) We will subcontract to the .Lucidity Institute to gain access to awell-equipped psychophysiology laboratory in which to conduct the proposed EEG and electrodermal experiments. In addition, we will conduct with the Lucidity Institute a few lucid dreaming trials in the same laboratory. In these trials, we will be looking for brain-wave patterns that might indicate a lucid dream/AC state. 1.2 Data Patterns/Parameters Correlations (SOW 6.1.2) (U) (U) The search for patterns or correlations within anomalous cognition (AC) is part of basic research, but contains elements that are applied research.

We will scan the appropriate literature and deter- mine if these techniques may be applied to specific questions in the reseazch of AMP. Specifically, can VR be adapted as a method of registering an AC response, and thus, improve the quality of the data? (U) Subliminal perception (SP) is also at an early stage of understanding. We will continue to follow the pertinent research and provide improved protocols as they become available. 1.2.2 Sender/NaSender in the Ganzfeld (SOW 6.1.2.3) (U) (U) Under a previous effort, we let a subcontract to University of Edinburgh to construct a room that is qualified for Ganzfeld studies. In addition, we let a subcontract to Psychophysical Research Laborato- ries (PRL) to perform a retrospective analysis of the literature to determine the effects of a sender in AC-Ganzfeld studies. That analysis was inconclusive because of an insufficient number of studies.i~ Under the same subcontract, PRL developed a detailed technical protocol for an experiment that would be definitive in determining the role of the sender in the Ganzfeld.l8 Pilot trials for this experi- ment are being conducted as an~ extension to the previous. effort. (U) We propose, therefore, to conduct a definitive formal study to determine the role of a sender in the Ganzfeld. 'Iiventy five of the best receivers from the pilot study will contribute two Ganzfeld trials each. We propose to examine four different sender conditions during which the sender is exposed to: ? The full video and audio of the target material ? The video portion of the target only ? The audio portion of the target only ? No portion of the target material (U) The latter case is one in which the sender is blind to the target material. As part of the standard auto-Ganzfeld procedure, personal and psychological profiles will be collected from each receiver. In addition, we will add the Q-Sort profile. (See Section 1.2.3 below for details.) Full details of the auto- Ganzfeldprotocol can be found in Honorton et a1.19 In conjunction with SOW 6.2.2, we will determine if the sender is important with regazd to specific target elements in long-range AC experiments (see Section III.1.4.2.4 and page 14). 1.2.3 A Heuristic Variable Search, the D-Sort (SOW 6.1.2.4) (U) (U) We propose to explore potential personality variables, such as verbalizer vs imager, as they relate to AC ability through the use of the Qvcort method, a systematic and quantitative technique for obtaining compre- hensive psychodynamic descriptions of individual personalities, and through ameta-analysis of the ap- propriate literature. Using the Q-Sort, we will address the following questions: ? What personality variables are common to those individuals that perform well on AC tasks? Is there a typological uniformity? ? What would an ideal AC profile look like? ? How do the personalities of individuals who do not do well on AC tasks differ from those who do? (U) First conceived by William Stephensen, the Q-Sort method has developed into a useful tool for comparing personality variables between a wide variety of different populations. For example, studies Approved For Release~i~~BP96-007898003100200001-5 8 Technical,Repgq~osrald For Release ~~$~?96-007898003100200001-5 have ranged from examining the differences between effective and ineffective liars to analyzing the dif- ferencebetween individuals who tend to rely upon external visual fields rather than proprioceptive (i.e., musculo skeletal) cues in determining true vertical. (U) For each individual, the method involves sorting 100 cards into nine categories with an assigned number of cards placed within each category. On each card is written a single psychological statement in a theoretically neutral form, so as to suggest a continuum rather than aneither/or dichotomy. The num- bers of cards within each category must be 5, 8, 12, 16, 18,16,12, 8, 5, respectively. The success of this method, in general, is primarily because the individual is forced to make limited (i.e., ten) decisions about him/herself in the extreme categories (i.e., the very most and the very least characteristic) where the Q-Sort comparisons are most sensitive. Those statements that are sorted into the middle categories represent statements that are psychologically neutral where the Q-Sort comparisons are relatively in- sensitive. The Q-Sort is self administered and takes approximately 20 minutes per individual. (U) In 1989 we conducted a preliminary test of this method using 14 individuals, including three receiv- erswho were known to be talented in AC. Figure 1 shows the results in a cluster diagram. Cluster analy- sis assembles Q-Sort scores into groups of similar profiles, and attempts to create groups that are as different from one another as possible. The result is a visual display of the clusters as shown in Figure 1. Tb the 14 receivers, we have added three standard profiles; a normal and two different types of person- ality pathology.20 It is striking to observe in Figure 1 that the pathological profiles are in a cluster by themselves and that the normal profile is clustered with the receivers. (U) 'Ib date, the Q-Sort method shows potential in that the personality descriptions of the three known talents (i.e., receivers 009, 454, and 389) were grouped together in a single cluster. By averaging the personality traits of these three individuals we have developed a tentative AC profile, which is also shown in Figure 1. "o '~ ~ +; a x P M N M ~ M N r!' Figure 1.

All Q-Sort data will be entered into a cumula- tive database where it will be available for analysis. A cluster diagram similar to the one in Figure 1 will be used to dlisplay the results. If the AC profile continues to appear in a different cluster than receivers who have little AC talent, then we will recommend that a formal experiment be conducted to test the AC abilities of those individuals whose profiles were clustered with the AC profile. 1.3 Theoretical Issues (SOW 6.1.3) (U) (U) Theoretical issues include heuristic and fundamental modeling from physics, physiology, and psychology used to systematize what is known about AMP. In addition, experiments may be conducted that address specific constructs that are basic to the various models. 1.3.1 Anomalous Perturbation (SOW 6.1.3.1-3) (U) (U) In conjtmetion with the sponsor, we propose to design a pilot experiment protocol for an anoma- lousperturbation (AP) experiment, which will be conducted at a facility specified by the sponsor. SAIC will provide two AP high-talent specialists to participate in that study. Their participation will not ex- ceed more than two three-day visits to the sponsor-designated laboratory. Should the pilot experiment succeed, then we will explore the role of a variety of variables such as shielding and distance. 1.3.2 Theoretical Models (SOW 6.1.3.45) (U) (U) The data from AMP experiments have begun to suggest theoretical approaches toward under- standing the underlying principles for the phenomena. Most of the previous modeling has been quan- tum mechanica1,21,z2 metaphoric,23 or behaviora124 and generally has not led to testable hypotheses. One heuristic model does suggest experiments, but it does not provide fundamental insight into the mechanisms of AC.~ We propose to explore a variety of different theoretical approaches that are ei- ther dictated by the strength of the AC data or strongly suggested by fundamental concepts. (U) Specifically, we propose to examine in detail those theoretical approaches, from among the follow- ing, that are most likely to provide testable hypotheses: (i.e., new protocols) and lead us toward a theoretical understanding of the physics of AC: (U) The Einstein, Poldasky, Rosen (EPR) Paradox. The paradox suggests possible information transport during the collapse of a wave function. The paradox arises naturally when considering two-particle correla- tions and the effect of measuring the state of one particle, which gives rise to unambiguous knowledge of the state of the correlated particle even though they may outside each others light cones. While no one any longer questions the validity of the predictions of quantum mechanics for correlated systems, the fact of that validity has caused a philosophical revolution. There is no underlying reality~o absolute reality. There is only reality as defined by measurements made by an observer. This approach is suggested because AC ex- periments appear to show "correlation" of separated events. While it is doubtful that AC is quantum me- chanical, nonetheless the EPR formalism might provide conceptual insight into possible AC mechanisms. (U) Thermodynamic Entropy. For nearly two hundred years scientists have taken the position that the entropy of a closed system can never decrease with time and that, on the scale of the universe, entropy always increases with increasing time. Recently however, Steven Hawking has raised the possibility that macroscopic time or psychological time, the time that we perceive, is actually determined by the change of entropy.26 The study of classical thermodynamic entropy appears likely to be the most productive Approved For Release~~~$~~P96-007898003100200001-5 10 Technlcal,$~~~ For Release ~ySg~~96-007898003100200001-5 based upon. the results of a recent Shannon entropy experiment27 and on the extensive evidence for so-called precognition-AC of targets before they have been determined?g (U) General Relativity. Matt Visser's paper on traversable wormholes suggests that it is physically pos- sible to transport energy (and, therefore, information) can transfer between remote space-time points without traversing the classical distance between the space-time events.29 General Relativity, there- fore, is a candidate for a theoretical basis for AC. (U)1lachyons. It is possible to describe mathematically a fully consistent universe in which everything moves faster than the speed of light. The particles inhabiting such a universe are named tachyons while, in contrast, the particles with which we are familiar are named tazdyons. The important fact is that nei- ther particle can ever travel at the speed of light. Photons, of course, are common to both universes. Moreover, this is anon-quantum mechanical description. Theoretical understanding of tachyons may assist in defining an energy transfer mechanism for AC. (U) Physical Interpretation of Potentials. Classical mechanics and, for the most part, quantum mechanics have treated potentials as convenient mathematical descriptions for which there was no physical instantia- tion. Recent experiments have shown, however, that a potential can affect a particle even when there is no corresponding force present. If potentials could be made to propagate, then they could be candidates for an energy transfer mechanism for AC. (U) All theoretical approaches will be constrained to provide testable hypotheses. We suspect that if a reasonable theoretical model can be developed, that it will entail physics mechanisms that can be tested by traditional experimentation. 1.3.3 Change of Shannon Entropy: An Intrinsic Target Property (SOW 6.1.3.6) (U) (U) Most previous research has considered AC from a "systems" perspective in that the target and receiver are thought of as a single AC unit 30,31 This is not particularly productive if we are search- ingfor intrirnsicproperties oftarget systems to guide target selection. An intrinsic target property is one that is inherently tied to the target (e.g., size, distance from the receiver, activity, entropy) and devoid of any external interpretation. Interpretations, such as emotional impact, can be consid- ered as extrinsic properties of the target or, more precisely, intrinsic properties of the receiver. Extrinsic target properties are critical when AC is viewed from a systems point of view; however, if these properties can be controlled in experiments, then it is possible to examine intrinsic target properties with little confounding interference from the extrinsic ones. (U) As an aici in understanding extrinsic noise properties of targets, we define target pool bandwidth as a qualitative indicator of the number of disparate target elements in the pool. Clips from video movies represent alarge-bandwidth pool; such disparate scenazios as Superman in space, a nature segment on the Grand Canyon, and a James Bond thriller can be included in the same target pool. Conversely, the well-known 2;ener cards represent a vary narrow target bandwidth. Qur collection of National Geographic magazine photographs represent an intermediate bandwith; the size and general content of the material is roughly the same throughout this pool. (U) We hypothesize that the bandwidth of the target pool. is a source of intrinsic noise in the receiver. We assume that the information that is gained by AC is small compared to other sensory mechanisms, and the primary mental task for a receiver is to discriminate the AC data from internally generated, Approved For Releas~~/~'~$~{,~P96-007898003100200001-5 11 TechnicalA-'~pO~etl For Releases(~~($~/~-00789R003100200001-5 target-unrelated information. For large bandwidth target pools that may contain almost anything, a receiver is unable to censor his/her internal experience. Thus, target-related and tazget-unrelated ma- terial are equally reported; therefore, lazge bandwith pools are extrinsically noisy. Small bandwith pools are also extrinsically noisy but for a different reason. If a receiver is cognizant of all of a limited set of target ela;ments (e.g. Zener cards), then he/she has an internal discrimination problem. All target possibilities are experienced with equal intensity because of knowledge about the pool and vivid short- term memory. Assuming there is weak AC information about the specific target, then tazget-extrinsic noise is generated because of the very low signal-to-noise ratio. (U) By developing an appropriate target pool, which possess an intermediate bandwidth, we may be able to control for various target-extrinsic noise sources and, therefore, focus upon intrinsic target properties. If the change in Shannon entropy is an intrinsic target property, then we would expect that AC quality for dynamic targets should be higher than the quality from static tazgets. In the previous program we observed a signifi- cantcorrelation between AC quality and entropy within the static target pool, but we did not obtain signifi- cant evidence for AC within the dynamic pool, and thus were not able to determine entropy correlations within that pool. We speculate that the lack of significant AC in the dynamic pool might be due to band- width considerations. We propose to improve upon this previous study. Specifically, ? We will develop a new target pool of static and dynamic targets that possess an "intermediate" bandwidth similar to our existing photographs from National Geographic magazine. Our approach will be to develop dynamic segments that are similar in quality to the existing static pool, and select frames from that dy- namic set to construct a new static pool. This will assure that the bandwidh of the two target types (i.e., static and dynamic) are similar. The static and dynamic Shannon entropy will be calculated as described in the technical protocol for the earlier experiment.32 ? We will conduct each AC trial at our Menlo Park facility, and each trial will be monitored. This is in contrast with our earlier experiment during which receivers were unmonitored. ? We will provide immediate and full color feedback at the end of each trial. This is in contrast with our earlier experiment during which feedback was significantly delayed. (U) With these improvements, we plan to conduct an experiment to test the specific hypothesis that the quality of AC linearly depends upon the intrinsic target property, the change of Shannon entropy. (U) We will employ approximately five receivers who will contribute a total of 20 trials each (i.e., 10 trials with dynamic and static targets, respectively). (S/NF) A successful outcome of this experiment will determvne, with a high degree of confidence, if the change of Shannon entropy qualifies as an intrinsic target property. If it qualifies, then we will be able to improve target selection significantly for laboratory experiments and intelligence applications. 1.4 Appiled Research (SOW 6.2) (U) (U) Applied research of AMP is defined as that activity that is primarily designed to improve the quality of experimental results. ' 1.4.1 Database (SOW 6.2.1) (U) (S/NF) As an aid to determining the range and limits of AMP for applications, we propose to construct an on-line database that records a number of physical, psychological, and environmental variables for each AMP trial. Examples of physical variables include receiver-target distance and changes in thermo- dynamic and/or Shannon entropy of the target system. Similarly, psychological and environmental vari- Approved For Relea~~~'~f'~~~~~6-00789R003100200001-5 12 Technical~Rp~posatl For Releas~l(~~$'~/~-007898003100200001-5 ables include scores from the Q-sort personality test, and the Ap geomagnetic index, respectively. SAIC routinely enters many experiment variables into an existing database, but we propose to update the da- tabase with variables that are more useful in intelligence applications. In addition, the protocol and outcome of each trial will be coded into the database. (S/NF) Once this database contains sufficient numbers of laboratory and intelligence experiments, then relatively simple queries may reveal ranges or limits to specific variables. We propose to perform such queries each time sufficient new data are added to the database. 1.4.2 Quantitative Assessment (SOW 6.2.2) (U) (U) It is novv clear that free response AC experiments can generate much larger effects than forced choice protocols. However, the problem of determining the quantity and accuracy of informalion in free response experiments has not been satisfactorily resolved. Such experiments typically generate both textual and visu- al information. This information has previously been assessed by ranking and descriptor set methods. Both methods have disadvantages: ranking can greatly underestimate statistical significance, while descriptor- based methods suffer from uncertainty as to how to define the conceptual categories used to distinguish target and response elements. The research described below aims to improve these assessment methods. 1.4.2.1 Neural Networks (U) (U) Neural networks have been widely applied to image and pattern recognition problems. However, they have not been applied to the problem of assessing free response AC data. SAIC will explore the application of neural networks to the existing fuzzy set assessment method. Neural networks will be trained on fiizzy set encodings of stimulus-response pairs from AC trials by individual subjects. If con- sistent patterns between receivers' responses and their intended targets exist, then neural networks can be trained to recognize them. The trained networks can be used to assess additional AC data sets and the results can be cross validated against existing fuzzy set scoring and ranking methods. Because neu- ralnetwork methods can discriminate complex mappings in the presence of noise, the method mayyield more precise estimates of target-response correlation than the current fuzzy set descriptor system. 1.4.2.2 Image Decomposition (U) (U) Numerous techniques have been developed for image compression. While most of these algo- rithms compress images by exploiting redundancy in the pixel array, some recent techniques take a dif- ferent approach based upon image decomposition 33 This "fractal image compression" method relies on partitioning images into subsets that can be used to reconstruct the original by recursively applying affine transformations to the subsets. When applied to conventional image compression, the technique relies on a judicious choice of the original partitioning. It may hold particular promise for assessing AC responses because such responses seem to be characterized by a limited set of formal elements, which give a natural set of basis elements or partitions. We propose to explore the fractal image analysis of AC responses to verify that such responses can be characterized by a relatively small set of underlying forms. These will be used as the basis set for the partitioning of the target material used in the AC\experiments. Judging schemes based upon these forms can then be investigated. A further refinement will involve "`- searTig oi? a set o~optimal basis elements for the partitioning of targets and responses using an effi- cient search method such as a genetic algorithm. The goal will be to develop an analysis method that avoids the arbitrariness associated with descriptor-based methods, while capturing much of the formal richness of information seen in superior AC performance..

In par- ticular, we will determine if the sensitivity of the method can be improved by redefining the visual ele- ments that are 1n current use.34 1.4.2.4 Intelligence Application Tbst-bed (SINE) (SINE) One primary difficulty in assessing the quality of AC in intelligence applications is that fre- quently there is little or no ground truth. Thus, we have had to rely upon other collection methods to provide corroborating evidence. Even in those cases, the kind of information that is obtained is fre- quently not helpful in learning how to improve AC for the collection of intelligence data. (SINE) Under an earlier program, we carried on two intelligence-like AC trials.35~~ These trials were conducted just as if they were real-world problems except that the tazgets were chosen by the sponsor specifically because complete ground-truth could be obtained. Thus, it was possible to provide quanti- tative assessment in near-operational conditions. (SINE) We propose to conduct up to five such AC trials.. We will provide up to four receivers for this activity. The sponsor will provide a variety of different targets, most of which will contain elements that would normally be of interest to the intelligence community. As a calibration, we suggest that some of the targets be AC sites that are used during laboratory investigations (e.g., bridges, buildings, etc.), and that SAIC personnel should remain blind to the entire target pool. (U) At the end of each trial, the sponsor and SAIC will construct an evaluation matrix, which may include fuzzy sets, to compute the accuracy and reliability of the AC session. The results of that evaluation will be entered into the tracking database so that receiver-dependent historical records will be preserved. SAIC will provide summaries and raw data in a report at the end of each trial. 1.4.3 Intelligence Appl(cations (SOW 6.2.3) (S/NF) (SINE) At the sponsor's request, SAIC will provide personnel to participate in intelligence applica- tions of AC. This will include access to up to four receivers for a total of five separate target systems. SAIC will provide summaries and raw data in a report at the end of each task.

Depp 1970 Ph.D. Theoretical Nuclear Physics, Carnegie Mellon University 1966 M.S. Physics, Carnegie Mellon University 1965 B.S. Physics, Carnegie Mellon University PROFES SIONAL EXPERIENCE: Dr. Depp served as an officer in the U.S. Army from October 1969 to June 1971. During this period, he worked as ~~ strategic intelligence analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency. He also served a tour in Vietnam as the Operations/Intelligence Officer for the 21st Signal Corps. He left active duty as a cap- tain having received honors as the Distinguished Military Graduate, the two-time recipient of the Army Commendation Medal, and the recipient of the Bronze Star. Dr. Depp joined SRI International (then Stanford Reseazch Institute) as a Research Physicist in July 1971. For 'the next five years, he served as manager of a classified field program sponsored by the De- fense Nuclear Agency and under the operational control of the JCS/Joint Reconnaissance Center. In recognition of his contribution to this national program, Dr. Depp was awarded the Exceptional Public Service Medal by the Defense Nuclear Agency. In 1976, Dir. Depp was named manager of SRI's Electro-Optics Program. During this period, the Elec- tro-Optics Program produced the country's first operational differential absorption lidar. The trans- portable lidaz system was built for the Electric Power Research Institute. It was used by EPRI as part of a five-year field program to measure sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. Dr. Depp also supervised sev- eral programs to examine the vulnerability of laser-guided weapons to optical countermeasures and participated in the development of a design concept for the integrated reconnaissance system. In 1979, Dr. Depp became the founding director of SRI's Special Systems Office (SSO). For seven years, the SSO provided an interface for applying SRI technologies to the problems of intelligence collection and processing. In 1979-1980, Dr. Depp led a multicontractoreffort toproduce afive-year plan for Air Staff Intelligence (AFIN). This plan began with an examination of Air Force roles and missions, developed collection requirements for these mission, assessed current and planned capability to meet tl.~e requirements, and recommended technology and system initiatives to fill shortfalls. During the early to mid-80's, Dr. Depp supervised the design, development, and deployment of an HF system to detect atmospheric nuclear bursts. The system is still in use at several overseas locations. During the same period, Dr. Depp participated in the evaluation of the vulnerability of certain Stealth aircraft. He contributed to the IR signature analysis and he prepared a report on the detectability of LPI radar.. Dr. Depp joined Science Applications International Corporation in 1986. He began the Advanced Ap- plications Division (AAD) in the SAIC Los Altos Office. The AAD focused primarily on the applica- tion ofactive and passive optical technology.

Phi Beta Kappa. EMPLOYMENT: 1991 -Present Research Assistant, The Lucidity Institute PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Jennifer Dole's position at the Lucidity Institute sprang from her keen interest in lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is defined as dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming, and is the primary focus of the research efforts of the Lucidity Institute. Jennifer Dole had been experimenting with lucid dreams since early childhood, but did not realize this was an area of scientific investigation until 1986, when she came across the work of the psychophysiologist, Dr. Stephen LaBerge, founder of the Lucidity Insti- tute. This is her first year of employment following graduation. Her duties at the Institute, and as an assistant to Dr. LaBerge, include collection and entry of data, operation of equipment in the sleep laboratory, and much contact with subjects. Jennifer Dole also has specialized technical knowledge of the compa- ny'scomputerized biofeedback device, the DreamLight, which is used to facilitate the induction of lucid dreams. She responds to the queries of DreamLight users, and offers solutions to overcoming impedi- ments they may encounter while working with the product. Jennifer Dole has worked with the Lucidity Institute in all stages of experiments designed to expand the knowledge of lucid dreaming, and to further describe the potential of this powerful state of conscious- ness. She has experience in lucid dreaming research as a collaborator in the creation and design of ex- perimentalprotocols, and as both technician and subject in the sleep laboratory. Jennifer Dole is capable of applying her personal and professional knowledge of lucid dreaming to the scientific investigation of other discrete mental states. 40 Approved For Release 20~,j~'Q~$/~~-007898003100200001-5 Technical Pr~~o?s~aCd For Release ~~~~~96-007898003100200001-5 Thane J.
