Targ notes “Experiments that feature induced pain or behavioral manipulation at a distance have been the distinguishing characteristics of almost all official Soviet psi research since the early 1920s"(41:77). From the mid-sixties until the mid-seventies the KGB beamed mysterious microwave radiation at the U.S. embassy in Moscow. This bombardment did not exceed U.S. health standards but did exceed much more rigid Soviet standards. Why are Soviet standards more rigid than ours, and why were they putting U.S. embassy personnel at greater risk than they would allow their own personnel--for no apparent reason? (33:72) From a more positive view, psi could be used to monitor and even restore health from great distances. A doctor could diagnose and treat many patients via remote control. Or better yet, experiments in biofeedback have shown that our minds have the ability to control much of our own physiology. When discussing the interaction of mind and matter, Alexander said, “The functions of the autonomic nervous system, previously thought to operate independently of the conscious mind, can be controlled." With training, we can develop this ability to control stress, fear and even bleeding (3:50). Another potential area for psi use is personnel training. In 1982 at Fort Hood, Texas, the Army tested a - ct program where soldiers practiced visualizing their combat vo, tasks to improve their human performance.
