In effort to replicate rof. Hasted's results, we
have constructed an elect cally shielded a closure having more than
135 dB RF attenuation from 1 kHz to 10 z and plexiglass sides (to
shield against air currents). . ithin is enclosure is an experimental
system of resistive strain gauges t ached to a thin metal bar. These
are wired as a temperature-compen ng bridge and connected to battery-
operated amplifiers and records g inst ents. At present we can detect
changes in the length of the ar on the o der of 500 angstroms and
applied transverse forces approximately 0 mg. To date, we have
been successful in isol ing and correcting se eral sources of artifact,
and have obtained hou of artifact-free baselin operation. All of the
data will be magnet cally recorded for later comput analysis, and a
simple stripchar record will provide. immediate feedba k to the subject
of any changes n the bar. We are encouraged with the p gress of
artifact is ation, and we propose to begin to task subject to attempt
to pertur the isolated metal bar.
Should experimentation reveal genuine subject

(2) Random Number Generator Experiments
Another class of experiments that have been extensively
reported are those that involve alleged human/machine interaction with
electronic random-number generators. In these experiments, digital
electronic noise derived either from a.thermal noise source or from the
decay of a radioactive material is monitored while a subject is
attempting to alter the statistical properties of the noise distribution.
