It has special significance for researh into psychic vision. In this area of research, there are no guarantees of strict reliable research methods. The so-called "saw it with my own eyes" is often very unreliable, and is therefore of no scientific value. Practice has shown that manufacture of the test materials and on-site monitoring have a direct relationship with the reliability and how scientific an experiment is. We believe that a discussion of methods. It is for this reason that this article was written. We hope that this will lead to some valuable responses. For convenience sake, this article will use only the example of "Human Psychic Recognition of Characters", but will discuss in principles. We feel that in principle, the results are applicable to other experiments in psychic vision (such as x-ray vision, long distance vision, etc.). This article is divided into two oe The rst section deals with reliability and techniques in test material manufacture. The second section deals with on-site monitoring techniques. ; . Experiment Reliability Reliability Requirements for Experiments: It 1s the purpose of scientific experiments to collect phenomenon and data, to get rid of what is false and keep what is true, and to summarize the related objective laws. Therefore, reliability of an experiment is a basic requirement of andy scientific experiment. Generally speaking, the reliability of an experiment roughly amounts to reliability in in observation and measurement (it also includes subjective observation and measurement reliability and the reliability of objective instruments) as well as the reliability of the processing of the data and the statistics. This also holds true for experiments in psychic vision research. This similarly must meet these reliability requirements. However, with respect to reliability of observation and measurement, in addition to using reliable instruments, there are some other special requirements. We are aware that so-called psychic vision is a special reaction mechanism where man obtains imagery information from the outside_world through other than |} known sensory channels. Therefore, when conducting this type of experimental research, we must conform to the following requirements: 1. The person being tested must not be allowed to obtain any information about the test materials through known sensory channels. 2. The person being tested must not be allowed to obtain any information on - -47- Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300330001-8
