Our Plan

The Echo Project Approach

At the heart of the Echo Project is our commitment to rigorous, data-driven research into Human Initiated Contact Experiences (HICE). By combining field-tested technology with the insights of contact practitioners, we aim to better understand what happens—physiologically and environmentally—during these experiences.

Our Methodology

Our approach is simple and focused:

• Participants join us for structured HICE field events.

• We record baseline readings before the contact attempt.

• Each event includes one or more 15–90 minute HICE trials.

• During each session, we collect EEG, HRV, radio, and visual data.

• All data is securely stored and later reviewed for patterns and anomalies.

Whether we're out in the desert or running a group experiment at a retreat, our goal is to keep the process consistent, respectful, and replicable.

The Echo Set: Our Tools for Discovery

At each event, we use our custom-built Echo Set, which includes:

a) Software Defined Radio (SDR):
We monitor radio frequencies, especially around 1.6 GHz—a band associated with anomalous activity at sites like Skinwalker Ranch and noted in UAP reports from 1996–2023.

b) EEG Reader:
We record electrical brain activity throughout the contact attempt. Our goal is to observe any shifts in neural patterns—whether in meditative states, heightened alertness, or unanticipated fluctuations—that may correlate with anomalous events.

c) Heart Rate Monitor:
HRV is tracked alongside EEG to help identify correlations between physiological and neural responses. We're interested in how the body and brain may jointly respond during potential contact moments.

d) High-Resolution Camera:
Visual documentation is key. We aim to capture anything from flashbulbs and light pulses to structured aerial phenomena.

Why This Matters

The goal of the Echo Project is to identify consistent, statistically significant anomalies across multiple HICE events and participants. By comparing each individual's data to their own baseline—and looking for deviations that exceed standard thresholds (e.g., 5-sigma or greater)—we aim to isolate patterns that are unlikely to be due to chance, noise, or subjective interpretation.

This multi-modal, multi-person approach allows us to:

• Detect potential correlates of contact that appear across individuals and events

• Strengthen confidence in findings through repeatability and cross-verification

• Ground experiencer reports in measurable, analyzable data

By applying this level of rigor, we hope to meaningfully advance the scientific understanding of HICE and its possible mechanisms.
