Kogan, like many Soviet researchers, hypothesized that psi was a low-frequency radio system built into human brains.

I. M. Kogan was a Soviet Union electrical engineer and parapsychologist who approached psi research from a communications perspective. Unlike some other Soviet researchers, his work was considered relatively serious by Western intelligence agencies.1

Kogan, like many Soviet Union researchers, hypothesized that psi was a low-frequency radio system built into human brains. He conducted experiments to characterize psi data transmission, concluding that it could transmit about 0.1 "bit" of information per second within a laboratory, decreasing to 0.005 bits per second over six hundred miles.1

His work gained further attention when it suddenly disappeared from public view around 1969, coinciding with reports that the Soviet Union had begun to fund and direct his laboratory at the Popov Society. This suggested a heightened interest from Soviet intelligence in the practical applications of psi.1
