Open AI Summary

Chinese researchers are studying psychics who have the ability to fog photo film and generate pulses on electrical devices using their minds, according to an American scientist. These experiments were described in a paper presented by Dr. H.E. Puthoff of the Radio Physics Laboratory, who stated that Western observers were shown data, including motion picture film, supporting these claims. The Chinese researchers are particularly interested in exceptional human functioning mentioned in ancient Chinese texts. Some of the papers presented by Chinese researchers indicate that humans have the ability to "see" without their eyes, suggesting the existence of an unknown radiation connected to the life process. Chinese hospitals are reportedly using clairvoyance for diagnostic purposes, and blind children have been induced to possess clairvoyance. There have also been successful experiments in "seeing" objects under layers of soil and detecting hidden things.

 Chinese researchers are studying psychics capable of such mind-over-matter
 feats as fogging photo film and generating pulses on electrical devices, an
 American scientist said Thursday.
 Some of the experiments were described in a paper prepared for delivery
 Friday to the convention of the Parapsychological Association by Dr. H.E.
 Puthoff of the Radio Physics Laboratory in Menlo Park, California, who said he
 and other western observers had been shown data, including motion picture film,
 backing up the claim.
 Puthoff, whose delegation went to China after a Sichuan newspaper reported
 that a 12-year-old boy could ''read'' printed Chinese ideographs with his ears,
 said the Chinese were very interested in ''exceptional human functioning
 mentioned in ancient Chinese texts.
 Puthoff's talk introduced a number of papers by invited Chinese researchers
 who said they were studying psychics who could fog photographic film and
 stimulate pulses on electrical devices -- with mental force.
 One of the papers, submitted by Zhao Yun-Je of the Chinese Academy of
 Sciences, said the ability of humans to ''see'' without their eyes indicates
 ''that in the natural world there exists an unknown radiation which is
 reciprocally connected with the life process.
 ''Compared with generally known physical radiation, this radiation has a more
 complex distribution in space and time,'' the paper said.
 He Chongying, editor-in-chief of Nature Journal of Shanghai, said researchers
 at Peking University had trained children in psychic behavior.
 ''In some Chinese hospitals the clairvoyance function is being applied to
 help in diagnosis,'' the paper said.  ''Experiments with blind children also
 obtained results to some degree. Blind children have been induced to possess a
 clairvoyance function.
 ''Experiments in 'seeing' things under layers of soil and detecting hidden
 things were also quite satisfying, '' it said.
