This paper describes the future perspectives of biocybernetic communication research applied to television, i.e., the measurement of the information impact of television on both individual human beings and groups in terms of energetic changes in the human body. A summary of the recent state of the art of biocybernetic research includes discussions of new developments and the future of this field in respect to communication processes and media production research. In particular, the promising new technologies of biotelemetry, computer tomography of the brain (CAT scans), chemospectrography, and magnetometry of the brain are discussed in the context of the methodologies of existing testing laboratories and preview houses. A summary of the implications of such research for the production of television programs, directions of future research in this area, and computer applications in the processing of data conclude this paper. A 41-item bibliography is provided. (MES)
