Boosting The Human Brain
“The Great Nautilus Hoax,” reports that the nuclear submarine Nautilus had been successfully contacted by telepathy while cruising beneath arctic ice. While the Nautilus story was probably a hoax, the needs on which it was based are genuine: After some two decades of effort, a clear wireless channel to submerged submarines has still not been established. All conceivable methods of radio communication with submerged submarines are controversial and expensive. Could telepathy, as we know it now, succeed where current radio technique encounters huge obstacles?
The answer is no. But the emphasis, in our question, was on the capabilities of telepathy “as we know it now.” Mind-to-mind communication, to the degree that the validity of telepathy has been established, tends to be spontaneous and uncontrolled. To function in such highly critical situations as battle commands to a submarine, which must be precise, brief, in code, and correctly targeted, telepathy would have to be boosted and refined in a manner so far unknown in the non-communist world. Soviet scientists, originally intrigued by the Nautilus reports, have experimented in the field of targeting and boosting telepathic power. Have they succeeded in their efforts?
The long-distance experiments from Moscow to Leningrad, Kersh, and Novosibirsk were imaginative but controversial. What seems certain is that the direction of these experiments was well established when, by about 1970, news of such experiments dried up.
Specifically, the work of Professor Ippolite M. Kogan, who directed the Bio-Communication Laboratory of the Popov Institute in Moscow until 1975, has disappeared into a fog of silence. Either Kogan or his successors may well have continued this work. The AiResearch Manufacturing Company, in its report to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, suggested that “further theoretic and experimental developments along the lines outlined by Kogan are continuing in the Soviet Union.” The report added:
“Kogan posed too many interesting and challenging questions for himself and his colleagues not to have delved into them further. Based on the well-known predilection of Soviet physicists to solve difficult and challenging problems, and their excellent training in modern physics, the possibility that a team of Soviet physicists is at work to systematically uncover and learn the physical mechanisms of parapsychological events is highly probable.”
The California research group used the term Novel Biophysical Information Transfer (NBIT) to label the telepathic aspects of parapsychology when it stated “Had Kogan not presented such a clear and sound proposal six years ago, one might have wondered if Soviet physicists have any interest at all in novel biophysical information transfer (NBIT) mechanisms. Clearly, if one could find out where Kogan is working and what he is doing, this question would be answered.”
