d. Education: fhe usa af concentration tapes at work should be extended to the individual for
howe use. Many of the soldiers give up on attaining an education while in service because of the
distractions of barracks or faaily life. Howe use of the tapes would add no extra cost to the qovernaent,
and would benefit the individual greatly. Practical use of these tapes is covered in Part III.

This feature has already been addressed by the Monroe Institute with the hesisync "leprove your golf’ and

HEMISYNC FROCESS
AT FIELD STATION AUGSBURG
I, The hemisync process, a3 any other process used by the U.S. Aray, aust be capable of being a saall part
of a coherent whole. The aission af FSA comes above all other considerations. There are other prajects
which aake their own requiresents of tise, finances, personnel, gersonal efforts, etc. [f the hesisyne
process cannot be coordinated into these other requiresents, it cannot be used, since the other projects
cannot give way to it.
2, A aajor part of the detailed investigation for this paper was to find whether or not igpleeentation of
this project could be coherent with the facilities, tise, and other requireeents and constraints posed to
its incorporation,
3. The following aajor categories of considerations proved sost isportant:
a Time: The physical location of Gablingen Kaserne exerts a great influence on the tise
constraints involved in all training at FSA, There is 4 set schedule for ‘shift* or “trick* bus
transportation, Anycne who depends on these busses and aisses thea is stranded for up to 8 hours, or until
soae ather aeans af transportation can be found. Secause of this difticulty, training at FSA is
traditionally held during ‘on-duty' tiae, if possible. ‘Other options are training at the datallion
facilities +/- two hours before or after the work tise.
Since FSA has an active aission, training during “on-duty* hours often causes oss in aission
effectiveness. Training during ‘off-duty* tise often causes loss in training effectiveness.
Since hemisync training is aost effective when done frequently, large agounts of training tiae are
In this way, the user could

Training, or of Operational Effectiveness,
2) Use of tapes for the Chaplain should be under direct control of the Chaplain.
«. Physicals: Physical requirerents fall into two categories:
) Equipments: The equipsent needed is stereo playback equipaent and the hesisyne tapes.
The quantities af each are not predictable at this tiae.
2) Spaces Any training requires space. Hemisync training, however, requires a quiet place, out
af the streaa of noraal activity and interruptions. Since this training can be accoeplished individually
during lunch, break, or off-duty time, it is logical to have a rooa dedicated for this purpose. This is
very hard to iaplement at FSA, as building space is already severely liaited. As tar as cauld be discerned
during the detailed investigation, there could be easy access to space for group classes in henisync
training, but a dedicated rava is presently out of the question. This fact greatly influences the type and
amount of hegisync use at FSA.
3} Storage: Having a library of tapes for use in training eans accessible storage
requiresents. There are several places which would accoaodate such storage, give protection and security,
and still accessability. This does not seem to be a aajor consideration at this tise.
4. Cares: The oerson in charge of eaintaining control over the tanes and recorders aust have the
training and tive to see to the following requiresents:
1) Checking tapes in and cut, and aaintaining records on thea.
2) Maintaining tapes and recorders, and taking proper actions to have thea replaced / repaired as
quickly as possible, when necessary.
3) Ordering new tapes for new purposes, and keeging the appropriate records on such orders,
4) Maintaining docusentation an tapes and their uses (see below).
2, Financial: The stove considerations will all translate sooner or later into aan-hours or
dollars spent, A financial projection for a 2eqinning prograa should become a gart of the budget, as soon
acsnessile, mrreecsnuc Mt
f, Documentations The only way to know whether cr not the process is effective, and ta
allow experience to aake it become sore effective is to se able to show dacusentation of conditions
influenced dy the aracess. for the hemisync process, this aeans that an iacrovesent in Selected conditions
at FSA should be dacuaentagle and provable, To this end the following suggestions are aade:
1) The process should de brought in with one or two specific target areas in sind, A study of certain
target aspects within these areas should be aade before and after the iaplesentation. Experience gained
froa this documentation would then be useful to plan for other target areas,
2) Goals should te stated st the beginning af each project, and an investigation of whether or act

these goals were set at the end, If goals were not aet, reasons should be deterained for future
improvegent,
3) A sugaary of each project should be forwarded to INSCOM for use by other units who plan related
projects.
4) Project results should be kept in a historical file at FSA for use in planning future orcjects,
4, The following specific considerations aust also be aentioned:
a. Record keeping for such tapes as language skills can also be used for keeping a roster at training
credits.
4. Tapes which are specially sade, such as possible concentration tapes with the training aaterial
iagressed over thes aust be carefully considered for classification. Security provisions and records aust
be kept on such tapes.
c. Tapes should be provided to resote site personnel, as needed.
a, Check-out af tapes, such as sleep or weight control tapes should not be "pirated". Users should be
warned that these are copyrighted tapes, and their duplication is illegal.
eel
f, Access ta tapes should be available to workers on all shifts, not just straight-day workers, only.
g. Tapes for hose use wil! have to be kept either in the Sattalion areas, or with the Chaplain, since a
tape which has deen played inside the SCIF is considered no longer Teapest approved, and cannot be allowed
to leave the building.

Science has long known that your brain is divided into two halves, or hesispheres. But only in recent
years has it been discovered that these two halves are entirely different in the thoughts and functions
they perfora, Moreover, sost of the tiae we think only with our ‘left brain*, when we use our "right
brain*, it is priaarily to support the thought and action of the left. Otherwise, we do our best to ignore
it.
Ye use the left brain arisarily to talk and read, to do aathegatics, to reason deductively, to
reseaber detail, to seasure tige, asong aany other facets - the source of logical, rational thought. It
*knows* nothing alse.
Qur "right brain’ is the originator of ideas, spatial sense, intuition, ausic, esotion, and probably
such aore than we nom realize, it is timeless, apparently with a language all its own.
Virtually everything we consider valuable is operated or controlled by our doainant left brain. Even
if it originated in the right brain, such as an idea or ausic, the left brain takes over and puts it inte

suspicion, disust, irritation, distrust - and awe.
How do we then go about using aore of our brain poner? Modern science has cose up with a aethod = and
technique that offers auch promise and potential. It can be utilized with relative 2asa, dogs not require
