GLOSSARY ee Not all the terms defined below are germane to the this Study, but they are included here for complete- ness. In a typical anomalous mental phenomena (AMP) task, we define: ¢ Anomalous Cognition (AC)—A form of information transfer in which all known sensorial stimuli are absent. That is, some individuals are able to gain access, by an as yet unknown process, to information that is not available to the known sensorial channels. © Receiver—An individual who attempts to perceive and report information about a target. ® Agent—An individual who attempts to influence a target system. © Target—An item that is the focus of an AMP task (e.g., person, place, thing, event). © Target Designation—A method by which a specific target, against the backdrop of all other possible targets, is identified to the receiver (e.g., geographical coordinates). ® Sender/Beacon—An individual who, while receiving direct sensorial stimuli from an intended target, acts as a putative transmitter to the receiver. ® Monitor—An individual who monitors an AC session to facilitate data collection. ® Session—A time period during which AC data is collected. ® Protocol—A template for conducting a structured data collection session. ® Response—-Material that is produced during an AC session in response to the intended target. © Feedback—After a response has been secured, information about the intended target is displayed to the receiver, © Analyst—An individual who provides a quantitative measure of AC. © Specialty—A given receiver’s ability to be particularly successful with a given class of targets (e.g., people as opposed to buildings). e i —A dream during which an individual becomes aware of the dream.
