Subject; 5-Item Proposed Projects List CC
As a further comment on the items submitted for project consideration,
following is an attempt to order by what we would consider priority as
far as rapid payoff is concerned
Screening/Selection: Everything is in place to obtain the best that can
be expected from testing methods, and the expecttion is for rapid payoff'
in terms of a either a usable test quickly, or unequivocal indications as
to why testing methods are at appropriate for the area under
consideration.
2. RV Jamming./Ambient ELF: Should there be a notable correlation between
RV performance and ambient ELF fields, this correlation could be
determined very quickly with a moderate effort, and would be of
immediate use in the field as far as determining optimum viewing
windows to be used.
3. Target Search: There is ample evidence in the psychoener'getics literature
that various approaches to this problem have been successful in the past,
and therefore every evidence that the applicat;ion of straightforward
research methodology should provide progress in this area.
A. Audio Analysis: Previous research efforts in this laboratory have shown
the potential for developing a successful audio strategy for
differentiating correct from incorrect RV response. S i n c e the appropriate
strategy may differ from person to person, such strategies may be
person-dependent:, indicating a. little more difficulty up front in
estimating the probability of immediate payoff.
5. t iofeedback (more properly, Eiomonitor:ing): Potentially of large
payoff, this task provides the greatest uncertainty up front, as
research efforts in the field (in biomonitoring) with regard to
defining a "psi-conducive" or "psi-productive" state have yet to yield
clea:arcut results.. This area of endeavor therefore constitutes basic R&D.
