We consider, however, that experimental research on the extraordinary function mechanism are preliminary, and that they need further replication and deepening. On the basis of the experimental investigations, some researchers in China have made preliminary inquiries into the extraordinary function mechanism of the human body from a theoretical standpoint. Information concerning the human body extraordinary function as recorded in the ancient Chinese literature is now beginning to be collected for evaluation.” In China, research on the extraordinary function of the human body has already attracted the interest of many scientists specialized in biology, physics, psychology, and the like. Special attention, dynamic support and specific direction have also been gained from certain famous scientists. Professor Qian Xue-sen published some special papers ,° 129 covering the relationship between the extraordinary function of the human body, qigong and Chinese traditional medicine, and emphasized the importance of developing the human being's potential capacity and exploring and developing a fundamental discipline of human body science, In his "In- augurating Fundamental Research on Human Body Science" he pointed out that Chinese traditional medical theory, qigong and extraordinary function centered around the qigong state, are keys to research in the human body sciences, in which the basic principles of extraordinary human body function are included, Based on systems sciences, he also proposed the theory of functional states of the human body. These theoretical viewpoints have been playing an important directive role in launching fundamental research in the human body sciences. We consider that, in the future study of the extraordinary functions of the human body in China, special attention should be payed to the 44 Approved For Release 2000/daN GLASSIFUED0400320001-8
