13 abr 1953 año - Project Psyche

Descripción:

Dr. Abraham Cornelius begins project Project Psyche, experimenting to develop mind-controlling drugs for use against the Soviet bloc in response to alleged Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean use of mind control techniques on U.S. prisoners of war during the Korean War. It often conducted experiments without the subjects' knowledge or consent. The project was the direct continuation of Nazi experiments conducted in concentration camps.

Academic researchers were funded through grants from CIA front organizations but were unaware that the CIA was using their work for these purposes. Additionally, US prisoners were experimented on in prisons across the US, including at the Andru Correctional Facility in New York, overseen by Dr. Michael Hunt; at Seagate Prison in Georgia, overseen by Dr. Noah Burstein.
