Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002100230001-3 Project Titles Theory/Conferences Major Objectives: The objective of this task is to ascertain under the strictest of scientifically critical conditions, the most stable of the psychoenergetic data. It is only with such a database is it possible for physics/psychology theorists to construct models of psychoenergetic functioning. The primary objective, then, is to produce testable theoretical models of the psychoenergetic process. Specific Objectives: (1) Obtain a stable database of psychoenergetic data. (2) Set quidelines for for theoretical investigations. (3) Conduct "goal oriented" theoretical studies. Implementation of Proposed Objectives: (1) To obtain a database of psychoenergetic data, we would convene the past and present most productive researchers in the field for the purpose of determining the most stable data. This would be done in the context of determined scientific self criticism. (2) From the report from (1) above, a set of quidelines would be drafted to suggest research directions that would be the most productive. (3) Convene interested physics/psychology theorists to assign tasks. The purpose is to produce models of psychoenergetic functioning that have specific testable hypotheses. (4) Related projects: This kind of investigation is fundamental to all aspects of psychoenergetic research, but the countermeasures line is the most directly affected. (S) Funding/manpower requirements: 3 manyear effort, in-house and consultants. $450K (estimated) (6) Timing: 24 months Deliverables: -_ Reports outlining the results of the various conferences, and a set of protocols for specific experiments to test the various models. Consequences of Nonaction: Continued efforts to develop the psychoenergetics field will suffer from lack of well defined theories against which to gauge the outcomes of specific experiments, with a corollary delay in understanding the fundamentals sufficiently to make rapid progress toward potential application to [oD objectives.
