Approved For Release 2000/9/N CHAS SIFT EB) 00400320001-8 CPYRGHT The system can sensitively record the impact of unknown radiation related to the exceptional-vision process as well as indicate impulses (Figure 5) caused by unknown radiation from normal individuals: trained in exceptional abilities, However, when compared with the responses ob- tained in the exceptional-vision process, in the latter case the waveform of responses is different (Figure 6). The other radiation sources used Cheat source, infrared light, and visible radiation), when influencing the biodetector, did not elicit responses of comparable sensitivity. Because moisture and chemical effects produced different responses, they were eliminated as possible causes. TESTS OF UNKNOWN RADIATION WITH A LIGHT-QUANTA DETECTOR The light-quanta detector overcomes the drawbacks of the biodetector, i.e., its lack of stability. It yields virtually the same results as the biodetector tests, although its degree of sensititivy may be insufficient for studying trained abilities. (For a design of the system see Figure 7.) The system, however, is equally sensitive with regard to visible light, near infrared, and near ultraviolet. At a wavelength of 4,400 A, the peak value of photon efficiency is about 20 to 30 percent. The system is also sensitive to electrons above the megaelectron-volt level, such as from a 90 Sr beta source. Our oscillographic observations, shielding, adequate grounding, and other measures eliminated the possibility of interference from environ- mental magnetic impulses. We simultaneously eliminated conditions for light leaks and wear and tear during the tests. Our tests have demonstrated that the system produced very strong impulse responses to the processes accompanying "exceptional vision." The leading edge of such impulses is extremely steep; the count value is Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400320001-8
