Author notes interest of both U.S. and U.S. S. R. in phenomenon of electro-
magnetk communication between living organisms and possible applications in
space. He says: "To the Soviets, these applications mean a 'thought register,'
an 'electronic hypnotizer,' and 'thought transfer over di&tance'; and to Western
scientists and engineers the results of valid experimentation in energy and
information transfer could lend to new communications media and advanced

no dishonesty involved, but where false conclusions were reached because the
!'e~earche~s did not understand the extent to which human beings can delude
themselves due to subjective effects, wishful thinking, or threshold interactions.
The Davis-Barnes experiment, Blondlot's N-rays, and Gurwitsch's mitogenetic
rays are discussed in this context.
