Subject: SI and H Experimentation, 9 October ly51.

cand the writer con-On Tuesday, 9 October 1951, ducted. SI and H experiments in Room 20, Building 13, witha. Eand as subjects.

Wand the writer have felt that straight For some time, hypnotic experiments would perhaps become boring and result in a loss of interest by all persons involved. It was, therefore,decided to attempt a different type of experiment for this particular session. With this in mind, it was decided to carry out a very brief ESP exan periment involving the standard ESP card deck with

The first test consisted of having each girl in turn, turn the entire deck of 25 cards while seated at a small table at one end of the Operations Room. As the word "turn" was said by the writer at ten second intervals, the other girl would be seated during the test at the opposite end of the room on the sofa. The the girl turning the cards would mark down the card turned and the girl receiving would write.down one of the five symbols as the thoughts of what card had been turned passed into her mind. The first test was done with both girls completely awake and the results were as follows:

eceiving, turning and total of 4%. With scored one match riturning and ceceiving, scored three matches or l2.

The second test was conducted under exactly the same conditions with both girls in a complete SI state and after a thorough period of instruction while under SIinfluence. On this test withe cored meceiving. arning and turning and six matches for à total of 2l% and with scored five matches for a total of receivingy 20%.

Since only two tests were run, the results are not considered significant although they are interesting on the basis of the strong increase of both girls, while operating under SI. Further work along these lines will be done asit may have a future value in training, etc.

At the conclusion of the ESP work, the following experiment was conducted by Tand the writer:

Both subjects were placed in a deep SI state. as told to remain in a deep sleep. state and mwas rimstmucted to follow rinto another room. T atheninstructed-r in the taking of pictures with a standardl x 5 Graphflex then entered the Operations Room camera. with sand took two pictures ofh One picture witha reclining on the sofa and the.. second with sitting upright. Then returned the camera to the other room and again entered the Operations Roomusaton the sofa and went into a deep sleep. At this point, was induced into a deep sleep state and =thereafter instructed ,as he had done and Freturned tothe Operations Room, took two pictures of both in the reclining position and the upright position.

For-a matter of record, it should be noted that Ractually took five pictures since the timing mechanism of the camera was off and merely exploded the bulb without operating the trigger mechanism fthe camera. At the completion of the tests of taking the pictures, returned returned the camera, reentered the Operations Room, sat down on the sofa, and went into a deep sleep state. Both girls were then given instructions for complete amnesia of the whole experiment and were awakened hy the writer. In this case, both girls had a total amnesia of the photograph activities and whem Tshowed the camera to both girls they denied having seen one let alone having taken pictures with it.

The above experiment is only of interest in that it helps "normal activity"and individuals for operating complicated mechanisms while in a deep sleep state. It is also interesing in that it shows that individuals operating in a complete sleep state are not awakened by flash bulbs or other disconcerting sounds if properly conditioned.

The pictures in the above test were developed the following morning and only two of the actual four photographs were successful. These are attached for record purposes only.
