Open AI Summary
This document is a proposal for an Enhanced Human Performance Investigation, specifically focusing on remote viewing (RV). The goals of the investigation are to further define the characteristics and effectiveness of RV. The objectives include providing access to the research for the Scientific Oversight Committee (SOC), conducting experiments, and identifying new remote viewers. The document outlines deliverables for each objective, including reports detailing experimental protocols and results. The cost of the investigation is estimated to be $89.4K per year. Other tasks include determining physiological indicators of psychoenergetic functioning, measuring RV quality with different types of feedback and target properties, expanding on hypnosis concepts, identifying the source of mental noise in psychoenergetic tasks, improving upon the Fuzzy Set RV Analysis, and providing administrative and technical support for the research.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
