It took a lot of fooling around to get things set up so the recorder would start without eating my hand-made continuous tape loop. By the time I got it working, I knew the lesson cold and didn’t bother to try it in my sleep. I can still rattle off the first 30 or so digits of Pi.

It apparently really is the creation of Aldous Huxley in ‘Brave New World,’ where children grow up being taught in their sleep. Here is where the reference was to people reciting what they’d heard in their sleep without knowing what it was. Huxley gave it the name ‘Hypnopædia.’

One sentence puzzles me: “The stimulus material was turned off as soon as cyclical activity within the alpha range was observed.” Shouldn’t that be when it was turned ON?” Meanwhile, it’s well and good to measure the short term effects, but we don’t really learn things short term. Socrates said so many times in so many ways, ‘You can’t learn what you don’t already know.’ Could there in fact be a benefit from some sort of implanting of this in the back of your mind, to ease your abilty to actually learn it later? A language, for example, isn’t even learned in the classroom, it’s learned when you go out and USE IT. I can’t imagine they went to the trouble of testing people in that way.

At the time this article ran, the CIA was beginning an experiment on UNWITTING victims that involved drug enhanced sleep suggestion. (Brain washing.) The Canadian govenment was happy to provide its’ unwarned citizens for the experiment, most of whom were rendered derilicts at best. Most drugs alone do no permanent physical damage, although they are readily stored in fat cells to be released in the adrenaline. (Brain damage from street drugs is caused by the cutting agents or absolute overdoses.) I don’t know if LSD was part of this, but that was the right time for it. The Canadians have settled many of the lawsuits.

100,000 “Rabid adherents?” (More drugs?) I wonder if there were any lawsuits from them.

If you would follow the link that I provided the abstract to the study is (S= subject):

A list of ten one-syllable nouns was repeated as many times as possible to nine Ss during an eight-hour sleep period. A continuous EEG recording during the presentation of the training material was used to determine the sleep level at that time. The stimulus material was turned off as soon as cyclical activity within the alpha range was observed. The experimental Ss did not do significantly better than the control group in selecting the words on the training list of 50 words. Nor did they choose the training words any more frequently than they chose an equivalent list of untrained words. There was some indication that words presented during a period of deep drowsiness can be retained, but this was significant only when the S was also able to give an immediate response to the material being presented. The effects of sleep level and the importance of continuous EEG monitoring while presenting the training material are discussed in their relation to recall. It is concluded that material presented a number of times during sleep (using an EEG criterion) cannot be subsequently recalled. (Author)
