5.4 (S/NF) Scene of the experiments/inve.~tigations required to fulfill
this contract may require participation of select goverlnnent personnel. All
such investigations will be fully planned and coordinated with the OOrIR and
will be under the purviews of the SOC and the Human Use Review Ccam~-ittee.
5.5 (U) Should unforseen schedule of other issues arise corieernu~g
any of the specific tasks identified in section 6.0, the C70rIR will be given
ircm-adiate notice. If necessary, adjustmP_nts to priorities and schedules can
be approved by the CIOQ.It i.f there is no cx~-t or other impact on the over-all
program. the OOrIR will also review/approve all anticipated research
protocrols.
5.6 (U) All items in section 6.0 will_be 'funded frcent R&D funding
provided by this contract; and" shall be expended NLT 18 months after
ct award, Accounting procedures to clearly identify the R&D
expenditures shall be implemented by the contractor.
5.7 (U) Terms of reference and additional task details are on file by
the QOri'R and will be provided to the contractor to insure adequate task
understanding. This material i.s contained in DIA publication I7.['-5-1007-S,

6.1 (U) Basic Research:
6.1.1 (U) Biophys~.cal Measurements:
6.1.1.1 (U) Perform magnetoexicephalograph (MFG) brain wave
measurements for the purpose of isolating neurophysical parameters that
correlate with ancanalous cognition performance. Leading pE-.rsonnel
candidates identified frcan previous work should be used, along with new
unique population groups. ~hasis will be on sender/no sender conditions
for phase shift parameters associated with remote light stimuli.
6.1.1.2 (U) Perform MFJG measurements as identified in
6.1.1.1 to include gther (e.g-- audio) or cca~ibined remote stimuli.
6.1.1.3 (U) Perform MDG measurements as identified in
6.1.1.2 to include variations to the nature (e.g., pattern, intensity) of
the remote stimuli.
6.1.1.4 (U) Perform MFJG measurements as identified in
6.1.1.1 to determine if MF]G results are influenced by changes to physical
parameters (such as shielding, distance) of the remote stimouli. This effort
may req~>ir~ the assistarx~e of another cooperative laboratory. Additional
in.ntation would also be required to resolve .experimental timiryg
issues.

6.1.1.5 (U) Based on I~ measurements as defined by base
line data developed in 6.1.1.1, detPxmirie the effect of mavir~g NIDG
instrtumentation locations to different areas of the brain. This effort
could help better isolate precise areas of the brain associated with
arxm~alous cognition functioning.
6.1.1.6 (U) Perform counterpart electroex~aephalograph (EFIG)
measurements for determining NIDG/EEC correlations in general, and for select
variables ~ in 6.1.1.1 thru 6.1.1.4.
6.1.1.7 (U) Initiate new experiments that involve other
sensitive biophysical sensors (such as skin resistarx~) to search for
possible phenomena correlates.
6.1.2 (U) .,Data Patterns/Parameter Correlati.ons;_
6.1.2.1 (U) Perform anomalous cx~gnition experiments in
conjunction with czsnputer virtual reality (VR) devices to determine if data
quality can be enhanced.
6.1.2.2 (U) Perform anomalous cognition experiments to
determine if various subliminal stimuli and/or lowered subliminal thresholds
can improve data quality.
6.1.2.3 (U) Perform anomalous cognition experiments with
high-performing individuals for beacon/no beacon perc.~on conditions at long
distarx~es to statistically quantify effects of distance on performance.
Several unique target categories or target material should be included to
facilitate data pattern recognition.
6.1.2.4 (U) Explore other potential variables (e.g.,
personality types, training/internal strategy) that could effect ancanalous
phenomex~a performance. This activity should include a detailed examination
of the "verbalizer" vs. the "imager" to determine the effect of verbal or
visual dominated targets/tasks..
6.1.3 (U) Theoretical Issues:
6.1.3.1. (U) Perform anc~nalous phenomena (energetics,
informational) experiments with or in the preserx~e of highly
sensitive/advaix:ed instrumentation (e.g., unusual wave devices, gravity
sensors) to assist in mechanism identification.
6.1.3.2 (U) Perform experiments similar to 6.1.3.1 but to
include potential high talent individuals (e.g., martial arts experts)
6.1.3.3 (U) If results in 6.1.3.2 shwa prcnni ~, exparra
experiments to include parameter variations such as distance, shielding, and
time (e.g., precognition).
