Enhancing Human Performance: Issues, Theories, and Techniques, the National Research Council's own 1988 committee report from National Academy Press, evaluates a range of techniques claimed to enhance human performance, including parapsychological claims investigated by military and intelligence programs of the era. Its strength is that it is a government commissioned scholarly committee report, drawing on a panel of subject experts. Its limit is that it reflects the state of the evidence and the techniques under review as of 1988, so a claim about more recent parapsychology research needs additional, more current sources.
