As a result of certain findings, the decision was made to broaden the base of such investigations and to alter tle ps pose of any such research effort. in 1971, the Institute was created t Conform with and expand this different approach. Stated simply, the Institute holds to the concept that (1); cc and the focusing thereof contain any and all solutions to th. lige processes that man desires or encounters. (2): Greater underatanc ing and appreciation of such consciousness can be achieved only tneough inter-dieciplinary approaches and co-ordination; (3)4, The reaults of related research effort are moaningful only if reduced to practical ap- Elication, to "Something of Value" within the context of the contemgoraz culeure oF era, SUWHARY: Early stufics of consciousness aud the decay thereof into alec Brought a major tool into use by the Institute, Ttiwas discovered that phased sine waves at discernable sound tre wien blended to_creata *beat"Froqueierer vi (un the Tanjee St eieeth Grain waves Tound at the vacTous slagey of Winan Boars SET crests ‘Frequency Following Response (FFR)-within tlt Tre pattere aI Ty Gul Tistehing touch audio waveToims MWe TT ie tire ereKee ioaeal end mental states in direct VATaE oaalidye to the orig SEAL With the availability of this new tool, for the first time Le becas possible to develop and hold the subject intn any of the various stayes of sleep, from light alpha relaxation throws theta into delta and ia BEN.

ROR BORA ROISANE ‘The Institute has reached the following conclusions in relatic to the propagation and delineation of IIR!I-SYNC consciousnese, based upon both anecdotal and bio-monitoring consenaus from 4,823 experin anong 1,280 volunteer participants over a five year period. (2) the characteriatica of such consclousness may be varied @irectly in accordance with the signal or signals introduced. (2) The re-introduction of such signal patterns evoke a rep) cation of the original characteristics, 3) Specific states of ArMr~sytic consciousness can be learne and re-established without the original stimulus mich as the blo~ feedback process. (4) wewt-sync audio stimulus {5 not all-pervasive. Te can be rejected easily either subjectively or objectively. (5) No significant or lasting contraindicative effects have been reported anong the participants in the experimental series. (6) Baned upon the application of specific single and sultip! audio patterns, the following characteristics of HEMI-SYNC consciousn have been noted (A) Deep mental and physical relaxation. {B) Sense of euphoria, extending beyonl stimulus. {C) Single-pointed focus of attention. {0) Increased utilization of menory patterns, at all levels (£) Higher suggoutibility, but with greater acceptance oF rejection. {f) Holistic problem solving and decision-making. (6) Chansos in overview, lens restrictive, significantly Ero n scope. (0h) Hajor increase in creativity, ideas, with attendant appl cation. (2) Measurable changes in muscular co-ordination. (@) Permanent menory addition, by rote and self-synthestzad experience. ‘The Institute is continuing to operate experimental programs in the evaluation of effects produced by other audio patterns yet to be investigated. Formal papers of such effort will be presented to appro- priate groups at a future date. Approved For Release 2003/09/09 : C1A-RDP96-00788R001200060018-5
