Subject: SI and H Experimentation (24 September l951)

On 2h September l951 in Building 13, Room 20, and the writer engaged in SI experimentation with

An SI state was induced in and while under she complained that it was chilly in the roon. An attempt was made to create the hallucination that it was becoming very warm in the room. This attempt failed partially in that the subject was induced to wipe perspiration from her forehead on several occasions. However, when asked, in the ultimate analysis, regarding the temperature of the room, till mentioned that she was not warm enough. Inorder to progress this subject to the degree of unrestrained normal movement and speech under SI condition, the subject was told to sit, open her eyes, and go get her coat. The subject complied with these directions. The suhject's movements were completely normal in all respects with the exception that they were a trifle slower than ordinarily would be expected.

A post hypnotic suggestion was given to the subject that each and every time the writer touched the knot of his tie, the subject would immediately go into a deep sleep. This post hypnotic was attempted with complete success several'times. Each and every time the subject'going into a deep SI state.

To test for hallucinations, the subject was instructed on two different occasions that (1) her right foot would be stuck to the floor and she would be unable to move it and (2) that she would be unable to draw her hands from her coat pockets. Both of these hallucinations were very successful in that the suhject was completely unable to move her foot or withdraw her hands from her coat pockets.

An'attempt was made to induce an SI state in the subject with her eyes completely open. This attempte proved only partially successfulin that the subject became drowsy with her eyes open but did not go into a completeSI state until she was told to close her oycs.

In an effort to test for directability in movement while under SI, the surject was directed to stand, walk across the room, become rigid, to fall while in a rigid state, to return to her seat :and upon sitting down to go immediately to sleep. The subject performed allof ,the above with considerable proficiency.
