Studies of Chinese Scientists During the past three years, the Chinese scientists. have carried out experimental studies on the aspects described below. Under strictly controlled experimental conditions, the authenticity of the special inductive function of the human body, such as "recognizing the characters with the ears" was verified. To rule out possible artifacts as well as false results, and to ensure the level of scientific rigor, while continually improving the experimental methods, the experiments have been designed in keeping with the following requirements: (1) A specimen ("target" for recognition and its package) has to possess certain characteristics of "uniqueness" to ensure that it not be duplicated and exchanged in designed experimental conditions, The "target" for recognition has to be sealed in "opaque" and "irreversible" forms, so that, under the designed experimental conditions, if the package is opened it will be destroyed and cannot be completely restored; if it is not opened, the "target" in it cannot be recognized with ordinary sight. Both the experimenters and the subject should be unaware of the content of the "target' to ensure "double blind" conditions and to avoid hints (cues).
