TO.,. File SUBJECT: S I and R Experimentation, 16 October 1951. On Tuecday, 16 October 1951, Messrs a a d SI and H experiments wi@h! n as subjects. For some time it has been contemplated that moving pictures 2 made of individuals both under SI and entering and reaching the SI tate would be@valuable for clinical purposes. It was, therefore, agreed to make certain tests during this session to determine what kinds of cameras, lights, etc. would be necessary- for this type of work.. Accordingly, after several brief inductions and simple post hypnotics had been given, the ma2jor experiment of the evening was carried out as follows: Both d ere induced into a deep SI s e ed to open their eyes and appear "normal" and move about in the Operations Room. Thereafter, they were both again returned into a sleep state and awakened. The se2cond part of the experiment consisted of both subjects again being induced into a sleep state ahd again being returned to a linormal" condition. They were then instructed to walk from the Operations Room into the laboratory where an extensive conversation was carried on with both subjects and where certain catalepsy tests were made. Thereafter, both subjects were returned 2again in the linormal" state to the Operations Room where they were placed in a sleep state on the sofa. h s- o3t h-ygnotic-activity is somewhat eccentric, was tien. a ened. given a simple post hypnotic and awakened. Afteri@ completed the simple post 2 hypnotic suc essfully s3e@w@a@-retiirned to a sleep state and fully awakened. Total experiment took approximately 45 minute's during which time both subjects were, for at least 40 minutes, in a total SI state. Technical Details In order to test technical equipment necessary to produce ade- quate trainin0g films,,or.films for clinical study, 16 mm. Eastman Cine Kodaks were used. An-analysis of available light was considered inadequate for perfection. [lowever, owing to our limited facilities, it was decided to proceed as planned, Using a tripod with a panhead and the'cameras mentioned. Two hundred feet of 6uper XX film was used. Such phenomena as rigidity of limbs, facial expressions, move- ments, and post hypnotic suggestions wer5e highlighted-- At this time it is impossi'ble to predict the results., but is is hoped that the knowledge gained will contribute toward the later filming of a com- plete course of procedure. -2-
