The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- All BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- the UK-HGMP-Resource Centre (known as hgmp.mrc.ac.uk): ----------------------------------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to majordomo@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Please ask for help at biosci@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

JOSEPH P. SHARP'S VERBAL PULSED MICROWAVE VOICE TO SKULL SUCCESS IN THE EARLY 1970'S AT WRAIR OR OTHER VERIFIABLE SUCCESSES November 7, 1999 UPDATES: None as of November 7, 1999. Researcher Margo adds $100 to the reward pot!! CONDITIONS: This offer is for the FIRST VERIFIABLE hard copy of this SUCCESSFUL demonstration of Frey-type voice to skull technology. In summary, this is for COURTROOM QUALITY documentation. Here are the conditions: 1. The documentation must contain at least one sentence that says Dr. Joseph C. Sharp, or any other credible experimenter, HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD WORDS transmitted via pulse modulated microwave. "Buzzes, clicks, hums" or any audio effects other than words DO NOT QUALIFY. The Joseph C. Sharp success took place while working for Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Health Dept. project FD00650, early 70s. This success was announced at an August 21, 1974 seminar to the combined engineering and psychology faculties at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City. 2. The documentation must contain official university or government agency or laboratory identfication, including date. It is OK if this documentation "cannot be found" after submission, *PROVIDED* alternate verification of the prior existence of the documentation submitted is SUCCESSFUL. 3. If the document is too bulky to qualify as letter mail, MAKE CLEAR, PHOTOCOPIABLE/SCANNABLE photocopies with good contrast and good alignment of BOTH the page(s) which describe the experimental success, and the COVER(S) which serve to identify the document. Please be careful to NOT cut off page numbers and other bibliographic information. A trailing list of REFERENCES should also be included. Please cap the number of copied pages at 25. 4. WATCH THIS PAGE, above, in the space marked "UPDATES" to see if anyone has already succeeded. This page is posted on two mirrored web sites: http://home.nas.net/~raven1/reward.htm (NO www) ..or http://www.bestnet.org/~raven1/reward.htm 5. The $200 US will be paid to a designated mailing address suitable for REGISTERED mail, or to a bank account with electronic funds transfer information provided. Margo's $100 pledge will be mailed separately, by her, from her Oklahoma address. 6. I will attempt to verify based on the order of submissions, but the first VERIFICATION, not initial submission, will be the deciding factor in who gets the reward. 7. I will also pay, with RECEIPTS, reasonable expenses (EXCLUDING travel) required to obtain the document. Such expenses include but are not limited to document purchase, registered mailing (not courier - too expensive), the one phone call (if any) which produced the success. The cap on these receipted expenses is $150 US. 8. Submissions are to be REGISTERED MAILED, WITH RETURN RECEIPT CARD, to my home address at: Eleanor White 430 Cumberland Ave. #312 Hamilton, Ontario CANADA L8M 3M9 MAKE SURE THE FULL ADDRESS IS CAREFULLY PRINTED IN BOLD, UPPER CASE LETTERS. Be especially careful in writing the apartment number. Place the address on BOTH SIDES of the mailing envelope. Please mark on both sides of the envelope: "Photocopies - no commercial value" ...to avoid customs holdups. Please email me if you have further questions. raven1@bestnet.org BACKGROUND: The closest we have come at date of writing to find documentation of Joseph C. Sharp's success is at the bottom of an article sent to me by Judy Wall, Editor, RESONANCE, the newsletter of the MENSA Bio- electromagnetic special interest group. The article itself is titled: MICROWAVES AND BEHAVIOR [Dr.] Don R. Justesen Laboratories of Experimental Neuropsychology, Veterans Administration Hospital, Kansas City, Missouri American Psychologist, March 1975, pg 391-401 "This article is based on materials presented in a seminar to the faculties of Psychology and Engineering at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City, Utah) on Augst 21, 1974. The author's research program is supported by the Veterans Administration and by U.S. Public Health Service Grant FD00650. "Acknowledged in the preparation of the manuscript are E. L. Wilke and C. L. Sheridan, for a critical reading; KAy Wahl for artwork; and Lynn Bruetsch and Virginia Florez for typing. I also thank John Osepchuk of the Raytheon Corporation for his searching criticism of the manuscript; our opinions differ, his advice is appreciated. "Requests for reprints should be sent to Don. R. Justesen, Laboratories of Experimental Neuropsychology, Veterans Administration Hospital, Kansas City, Missouri 64128. "The author is also at the Department of Psychiatry, Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas 66103." **Dr. Joseph C. Sharp at the time of this success was working for Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, geographic location unknown. **Here is the brief reference to voice to skull in this article itself: "Sharp and Grove (Note 2) found that appropriate modulation of microwave energy can result in direct "wireless" and "receiverless" communication of SPEECH." [Emphasis mine] **Here is "Note 2": "Sharp, J. C., & Grove, M. Personal communication, Sept. 28, 1973" [By "personal communication", both Judy Wall and I interpret that to mean "conversation", i.e. nothing in writing] **Here is one sentence from the NASA statement of voice to skull success, posted at: http://home.nas.net/~raven1/v2s-nasa.htm "...by proper choice of pulse characteristics, INTELLIGIBLE SPEECH MAY BE CREATED" ** Here are two sentences from two abstracts describing an "SBIR" (small business research project) awarded to Brian Kohn at Science and Engineering Associates, which has more than one branch: http://home.nas.net/~raven1/v2s-kohn.htm "The feasibility of the concept HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED..." "The study found that voice communications, via the microwave auditory effect, ARE HIGHLY FEASIBLE." So what we need folks, is irrefutable documentation of the Joseph Sharp success, AND/OR, the background of the SBIR projects awarded to Science and Engineering Associates, PROVIDED THE SEA DOCUMENTATION PROVES IRREFUTABLY THAT MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION OF WORDS IS AN ACCOMPLISHED FACT. For details of the SEA SBIR projects, please see the link above.
