- Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500420001 -2 DST-1810S- 387-75 : a September 1975 (U) Soviet research has taken several different directions in efforts to develop materialistic explanations for observed PK effects. This reseatch has involved in-depth studies of the characteristics of the electrical field between subject and object, characterization of elec- trical fields immediately around the subject, study of bioelectrical fields by detection devices, study of subjects’ brain wave patterns, and photography of the subjects' bioenergy fields. To date, Soviet scientists are by no means in accord concerning the nature of the forces ipyolved, but all are in agreement that a physical energy is at work. (U) Dr. Viktor G. Adamenko of the Moscow Institute of Radiophysics, Dr. Viktor Inyushin, of the Kazakh University, Alma-ata, and Dr. Genady Sergeyev of the A.A. Uktomskit Physiological Institute, Leningrad are the leading Soviet theoreticians studying PK. Both Inyushin and Sergeyev have developed theories based on the existence of a new form of energy~a form of biological energy referred to as "bioplasma". They consider PK effects as analogous to lightning accidentally charging a surface and feel that movement in PK occurs as a result of the interaction of the object's electrostatic charge and electromagnetic field with the human operator's field. The biological energy involved is under conscious direction by the subject, who can make a target object start or stop motion, change direction, of rotate. Sergeyev has developed instrumentation which measures changes in the bioplasmic field at -~ distances up to 3 meters (9.9 feet); he has recorded fields of 10,000 volts/centimeter in the vicinity of a target object with no indication of an electrical field in the space between the subject and the object. According to Sergeyev, bioplasmic energy is maximally concentrated in the head region. He attributes PK to a polarization of the bioplasma ina laser-like fashion and refers to this as a_"biolaser effect" which acts as a material force upon the object. (U) Dr. Sergeyev has developed detectors that monitor the energy field during PK demonstrations. Although Western observers have been denied information on the construction of the detectors, (information reported to have been classified by the Soviet military), details may have been published by the Soviet Academy of Sciences. It is possible that the Sergeyev detectors are similar to those developed by an American, David Thomson. Thomson's devices, which have been used in human force field research at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, consist of two capacitor, plates, a preamplifier, and a line recorder like that’ of an encephalograph. Other Soviet force field detector research has been done at the Laboratory for Biological Cybernetics in the University of Leningrad Physiology Department. There, according to Soviet reports, Dr. Pavel Gulyaiev developed extremely sensitive electrodes capable of detecting the electrical force fields of nerves at distances up to 24 - Approved For Release 2008/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500420001-2 _ STAT
