Summary The photon emission phenomena of the eye may range from the low-level spontaneous visible wavelength =hotons that have already been demonstrated by Viirre and Furness, to rapid =urst, near-invisible photon streams that are only activated when precise =lignment occurs between the preferred eyes of two naturally "coupled"=people. The Extramission research program will be a systematic procedure to look for =he most likely coded photon features based on the theoretic utility of the phenomenon to humans. The process will be controlled experiments to =etect and verify any systematic coded features discovered. An advanced photonics =aboratory with various photo detectors, stimulus control paradigms, specially =onfigured laboratory space and administrative controls and procedures are =ecessary for this program. Of note, the encoding may be purely in the quantum =ntanglement states of those photons and a search process for such is planned. The=study program will be feature searches for two different EM paradigms: one for broadcast signals from individuals and the other for signals between two adult people with interpersonal connections with high data transfer rates. A systematic =earch process will be used for discovery and then controlled experiment =rocedures within and across subjects will be used to verify the presence of =iscovered codes. Other feature searches can be considered. Below are listed the various photon light stream features that should be considered, the two year study =rogram outline and the program budget for one and two years. The first year =ill be conventional photonics experiments followed by a project review and the =econd year will be validation studies of the first year and also examine =uantum state entangled photons as stimuli. Also in the second year will be investigations of mother/child pairs. Light Stream Features to Examine: 1.

Unlimited =ime and universal fine-resolution examination of all possible parameters is =ot possible. Thus review, by a group of knowledgeable experts, of likely =eatures would be done. Clever use of broad wavelength detection photonics will =ead to a search pattern that has the best chance to rapidly detect photons and =hen coded signals within the photon stream. Once any coded features are =abeled, then repeated tests within and across individuals will be used to verify =he identification. 5 EFTA_R1_01431919 EFTA02398145 "I'm Here" Broadcast vs. Inter-personal Data Transfer Two likely coding =aradigms are a broadcast signal that has rudimentary signal content, such as "I =80 m Here" vs. a detailed data transfer stream that occurs during concentrated direct interpersonal interaction between two people. The broadcast EM =aradigm would incorporate broadcast features: wide angular spread, low signal content, =ut high reliability, continuous and repeated signals. It would occur in circumstances where other signals might be reduced: low light and quiet =udio. It would likely use endogenous photon generation especially as ambient =ight may be low or indirect, but two photon cascades might be used. Higher energy photons would be more likely to serve as signal carriers and thus should =e part of the spectrum tested for. Thus to detect the =roadcast paradigm, continuous recording in the visible wavelengths would be =traightforward and feasible. Highly sensitive photomultiplier tubes and avalanche =hotodiodes would be able to detect small numbers of photons, and the system would =e configured for continuous presentation of the photon detection in a =ontrol room display. Ambient conditions would be darkness, low light and visual stimuli such as shadows of people. Monocular recording would be done =ith a hooded recording eye and an un-occluded receiving eye. Rudimentary codes =ould be looked for by visual inspection and simple code detection algorithms =hat detect repeated patterns. The data transfer paradigm, which would be revolutionary science if discovered, will take a dedicated =roject to detect. The paradigm is two individuals who can gaze directly into each =ther's eyes. In a "co-equal" partnership, transfer would be =xpected to be two ways, so one way detection would suffice. A key item would be the passage of =hotons from one transmitting eye and where that eye is aligned. Eye =E2 preference" would most likely determine both the transmitting eye and receiving eye. =iming of the Extramission would depend on the gaze being "locked in"=to the receiving eye, blinks, microsaccade intrusions and then signals for stimulus. The =erson with the receiving eye would be the stimulator: what would they signal? Continuous recording for bursts of photons would be used. Endogenous =hoton generation would be the most likely photon generator, but broad-spectrum detectors would be used to improve detection rates. Recording of all =ctivity features of emitter, receiver, photons, eye activities, stimuli would be seeded to ensure successful detection.
