Post Symposium Science Policy Implications on Exceptional Abilities Research, November 16, 1987

这个项目将支持一个关于联邦政府支持研究特殊能力的政策研讨会，包括像过目不忘、闪电计算、天才、创造性利他主义和非凡的系统转变等现象。这个研讨会主要是为联邦科学政策官员举办的，它将在一个由思维科学研究所主办的关于这个主题的更大的公开研讨会之后举行。在nsf支持的研讨会上，讨论的主要焦点将是特殊能力研究的资金来源和研究议程。研讨会的成果将包括一份已发表的会议记录报告、政府支持的这一领域当前研究的概述，以及有关各机构和组织为推进这一领域的研究可能采取的下一步措施的建议。心智科学研究所是一个公共基金会，其宗旨是促进关于心智和人类潜能的科学研究，并探索该研究在卫生、教育、商业和其他领域的应用。他们完全有资格组织这个讲习班。

This project will support a policy workshop on Federal support of research into exceptional abilities, including such phenomena as photographic memory, lightning calculation, genius, creative altruism and extraordinary systematic transformations. This workshop, primarily for Federal science policy officials, will follow on a larger, public symposium on this topic being sponsored by the Institute of Noetic Sciences. The primary focus of the discussions at the NSF-supported workshop will be sources of funding and research agenda for exceptional abilities research. Outcomes of the workshop will include a published report of the proceedings, an overview of current research in this area now being supported by the government, and recommendations concerning the next steps various agencies and organizations might take to advance research in this area. The Institute of Noetic Sciences is a public foundation whose purposes are to promote scientific research on the mind and human potentials, and to explore the application of that research in health, education, business and other fields. They are well qualified to organize this workshop.
