ENHANCED HUMAN PERFORMANCE INVESTIGATION
STATEMENT OF WORK
Phase II--Knowledge Development
Goals: To define further the characteristics, parameters, and effectiveness of remote view-
ing (RV).
Objectives:
A. Provide access to all aspects of the research to the Scientific Oversight Commit-
tee (SOC).*
Description: Provide statistical and basic research design protocols in ad-
vance of experiments.
Deliverables: 1st Quarter FY 88 (A report including the experimental pro-
'tocols for FY 88, and detailing the approvals and the review
process by the SOC.)
Description: Provide continuing access to on-going experiments to SOC
members.
Deliverables: None
Description: Provide final reports for inspection and critical review to the
SOC.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY. 88 (A final technical report including the ex-
perimental results for FY 88, and detailing the SOC's review
comments.)
Cost: $ 89.4K / yr--7.6%
* The time-lines for all tasks during FY 1988 are the same: Start on 1-Oct-1987 and
end on 30-Sep-1988. The costing is computed on an objective-by-objective basis, and
the contractor is SRI International except where noted differently.

 Approved For Release 2000/08/08: CLA-RDPd96-(~Q7& OQ3 0380001-7
B. Identify new and "excellent" remote viewers.
Description: Using various techniques to include the video disk technology,
screen, and confirm, as many potential RV candidates as pos-
sible.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 88 (A report detailing the screening protocol,
the method of approach, and results.)
Cost: $303.7K / yr--26.0%
Description: Provide supervision for the training of LANL personnel for
for an eventual replication effort by examining RV quality as a
function of weak magnetic environment.
Deliverables: None
Cost: $71.6K / 'yr--6.1%
Determine a physiological indicator of psychoenergetic functioning.
Description: Monitor and assist an independent contractor in determining
the degree to which "remote" magnetic visual evoked poten-
tials can be observed.
Cost: $62.5K / yr--5.4%
Description: Measure RV quality as a function of differing types of robust
feedback.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 88 (A report detailing the experimental proto-
col, the method of approach, and results.)
Description: Measure RV quality when various target properties are the
independent variables for feedback.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 88 (A report detailing the experimental proto-
col, the method of approach, and results.)
Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003000380001-7
 Approved For Release 2000/08/fflpM1f~R96~(g7f9,
Description: Expand upon the hypnosis concepts developed during FY
1987.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 88 (A report detailing-the experimental proto-
col, the method of approach, and results.)
Description: Determine the source of "mental noise" in binary
psychoenergetic tasks.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 88 (A report detailing the experimental proto-
col, the method of approach, and results.)
Cost: $244.2K / yr--20.9%
F. Improve upon the Fuzzy Set RV Analysis (FSRA) developed during FY 1987.
Task 1
Description: Determine the appropriate parameters for FSRA.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 88 (A report detailing the method of ap-
proach, and results.)
Cost: $63.8K / yr--5.5%
G. Provide support for research.
Description: Provide administrative, technical and secretarial support.
Description: Provide protocols and administrative support for SRI Interna-
tional's Human Use Review Board.
Description: Provide computer software/hardware maintenance, and mod-
est software/hardware upgrades.
Description: Provide sponsor-requested travel.
Description: Provide document production services.
Cost: $332.2K / yr--28.5%
