(b)(6) has provided an excellent overview ofconventional approaches to
grav1 manipulation within the confines ofNewtonian, relativistic and quantum
physics. With his typical lucid style, he takes the time to add useful explanatory
notes which are especially enlightening for those for whom Relativity is not their
first language. In addition. his extensive technical appendix concerning such
exotica as squeezed vacuum states, zero-point fluctuations and negative energy is
ofgreat benefit.

Technological Approaches to Controlling External Devices in the Absence of
Limb Operated Interfaces
The paper by j(b)(6) Ilooks at the present and future prospects for the
human thought control ofrobotics and machines by way of high technology neural
interfaces. The ultimate aim ofsuch research is to allow an individual to control
the function ofa prosthetic or robot as an extension ofhis own body and mind or
to exercise thought-based control over a mechanized environment. We find from
l(b)(6) !current review that the state oft he art is still quite far away from
achieving such control but strong efforts are being made on a number of
