Open AI Summary

Summary:
This declassified document from the CIA's Stargate program discusses Soviet scientists' research on thought-reading apparatus. The report mentions that the scientists are working on constructing an apparatus for the oscillographic recording of human thoughts and internal speech. The researchers are trying to solve the problem of mechanical thought-reading and are close to determining the sound spectrum for distinguishing sounds without error. The document states that they have not yet deciphered the automatic recorder's lines completely but are making progress towards developing an apparatus for extensive use. The report concludes by mentioning the distribution of the document.
