Subproject 68 is being continued as a means to support a research program, the effects upon human behavior of the repetition of verbal signals.. The program will be under the direction of DrJ “ the Department of Psychiatry at! ^ ^ ^jyffhe pregram will be for a pferiod of Rtartinc 18 March 1959. }cjf 2. The scope of the project encompasses studies upon the effects of predetermined signals upon (a) physiological functions, (b) patterns of behavior. The immediate objectives of the program entail a study of methods to (a) improve the technique of heteropsychic driving (b) to investigate the range of physiological functions which can be changed by these procedures. More specifically, these studies include: (1) A search for chemical agents which will breakdown the ongoing patterns of behavior: more rapidly more transitorily with less damage to the perceptive aud cognitive capacities of the individual than the present physiological agents. (2) An attempt to develop better method s of inactivating the patient during the period of driving (exposure to repetition), and at the same time maintain him at a higher level of activity, by physio- logical and chemical agents, than by the present physical effects. Among the chemical agents which are being explored with respect tQ their capacity to produce inactivation are the following (used either singly or in combination): I Artane • Anectine Bulbocapnine Curare LSD-25
