rwomanl What is the nature of this physical field generated by a biological
object, say a human being?

rBelitskiyJ Every human being generates quite a number of physical fields:
infr-a-re·d,. thermal-radio. low-frequency electric, magnetic, acoustic,
bioluminescent and others. What the scientists at the lab are· concentrating on
is JJientm1ng the tvpe of in formation about the body that can be derived from

rwomanJ Such studies can, of course, provide medicine with valuable new
diagnostic tools, but what about the problem of human beings receiving
information via such external physical fields?
[Bel1tskiyJ Well, that will clearly be the next stage_ of the researcl1_
conducted at the lab. Obviously, it's even more complicated than the first
stage, since the body in this case acts as a very complicated receiving system.
This will involve .studies of an entirely new dimension involving .l:!_j,gphysici.sts
and p.s_ychophysiologist.s as well as the .scientists I mentioned earlier. Such
studies, too, are definitely planned, and it's quite possible they'll shed light
on some aspects of what is known to the layman as ESP, extra-sensory perception.
