Subject: SI and H Experimentation, 1/23/52

On Wednesday, 23 January l952, SI and H experimentswere carried on in Building 13, Room 20with Misst and Eand by MeS8r

After the usual prelimtnary discussions,.using a slow relaxation technique for,a total of approximately 25 minutes, produced in all three subjects a light, hypnoidal type of sleep. After some general conditioning, awakened all subjects by the standard 12345method.

Shortly thereafter, using a hand raising technique produced a somewhat deeper"hypnotic trance state in yasable to produce some cataleptic movement and succeeded to. have Lopen her eyes while remaining in a trance state. He awakened using the standard l23h5method and was able to produce some amnesias for some of the activities that occured.

Since had demonstrated the peculiar phenomena of responding with her lef handwhen concentrating on her right onthe hand raisingtest, attempted the standard hand rising test using left hand as the point of concentration. This test was successful in that the left hand rose while the right hand remained stationary on the right arm of.the chair. continued to have the subject raiserher left hand toward her face and induced a light trance state ii During this trance state, as conditionedfurther and was able to answer a few simple question. However, since, in the opinion of she had only reached a light state, she was awakened using the 123u5 method. had a very slight amnesia for some of the incidents connected with the test.

Thereafter, using a fixation.approach with succeeded in about 15minutes in producing a light trance state.Since it appeared obvious that iwas not in a sufficiently deep state to try cataleptic movements, awakened her using the standard l2345method.

Work was concluded at approximately 9:00 PM.

Comment: The three subjects referred to above appear to be improving in their ability to concentrate and obtain deeper and deeper trance depth. Tat this time, seems to be the most difficult of the three although considerable improvement was noted in the above performance as compared with the time previous to this. Also it will require a considerable amount of work before depth can be reached.
