Open AI Summary
The CIA's Stargate program required several tasks to be completed by December 31, 1994. These tasks included conducting a retrospective review and analysis of data produced since 1979, constructing on-line computerized databases for the collected information and ongoing analysis, conducting workshops with operations user-communities and research communities to determine specific requirements and experiments, and conducting operational test-bed experiments with total ground-truth available. The goal was to improve the understanding and accuracy of anomalous mental phenomena.

STATEMENT OF WORK
In support of on-going activity, we require the following tasks to be completed by 31 December 1994:
Task 1
Construct a retrospective review and technical analysis of the data that have been produced by the op-
erations section since 1979. This should include a description of protocols and, where possible, ground
truth analysis. The objectives are to determine categories of operational tasking that lead to successful
and unsuccessful results and to collect into a single document the best prima facie examples together
with their supporting material.
Task 2
Construct and maintain an on-line, computerized database for the information from Task 1.
Task 3
Construct and maintain an on-line, computerized database for the analysis of continuing operations.
Task 4
Conduct workshops with representatives of the operations user-communities to identify:
a. Current real-world requirements for anomalous cognition technology.
b. Forms of data that are best suited for user-community analysis.
c. Logistics for significant liaison for responsive tasking and ground-truth feedback for performance
analysis.
Task 5
Conduct workshops with representatives of the physiology, physics, and psychology research communi-
ties for the purpose of determining specific experiments that would be likely to yield the most produc-
tive insights into improving the quality of the data and the understanding of the mechanisms of anoma-
lous mental phenomena.
Task 6
Conduct operational test-bed experiments in which total ground-truth is available. This should include
a complete technical analysis of the accuracy and reliability of practitioners currently associated with
the program.
