This is a request for financial support for research on the mechanism of brain concussion for the period 1 Feb 1956 to 1 Feb 1957. . The resonance-cavitation theory upon which this research is to be based has been presented in the proposal submitted to th dated 27 March 1954. The program as originally submitted estimated the of the program to be from three to five years requesting a total of $72,109 for the initial year. 4. At the request of the a reduced budget was submitted. amounting to $24,925, was then awarded to the to support this program from 1 Feb 1955 6. The progress made to date under the above contract can be summarized as follows: A. RESEkRCH FACILITIES The following research facilities have been established for the investigation of the very diverse aspects of the problems being studied: WARNING NO SE, `c" ITELLIGENCE AND METHODS iNVOLVED Atotal of 2500 square feet of laboratory and office space equipped with much of the diversified machinery and apparatus necessary for research in this field. Blast Range A blast range has been established at located of-the-main labora cry. This nd is closed to the public. approximately area is owned by t e Three blast test-series have been run to date. ve been made with the or use of their human cadavers. A test area has been assigned for this I specific work. Impact tests have been conducted on three cadavers to date. This work is being conducted under the direction of Dr. -B. PERSONNEL - Both full-time technical personnel and part-time professional research personnel have been acquired and indoctrinated relative to their specific function. C. TECHNICAL PROGRESS Following is the technical_progre s made under the current contract: a. Specialized instrumentation and numerous testing techniques have been developed to obtain_the desired dynamic, data. b. Considerable data has now been obtained supporting the resonance-cavitation theory of brain concussion. Preliminary acceleration threshold data has been obtained for a fluid-filled glass simulated skull. d. Data has been obtained on the nature and the magnitude of pressure fluctuations within a glass simulated skull subject to either impact or sound waves propagated in air. e. Iitial studies have been made on the simulated glass skull attempting to establish the cavitation-patterns for various types of impact. The proposed method and program plan remain the same as stated in the original proposal, except for the temporary deletion of the immersion blast study. 8. The current level of activity on this project can be indicated by the most recent billing to the for the-Month of-November, which amounted to $4,034.61. 9, In the interest of efficiency and economy it is requested that at least this level of activity be maintained for the coming year. WARNING- N SEW- ELLIGENCE METHODS INVOLVED 10.0--POTENTTAL APPLICATIONS OF THE RESEARCH FINDINGS 10.1 Trotter, W. defines brain concussion as: "an essentially transient state due to head injury which is of instantanious onset, manifests widespread symptoms of purely paralytic kind, does not as such comprise any evidence of structural cerebral injury, and is always follpHgAia_amngfia for the actual moment of the accident." 10.2 The implication of the underlined portion of the above statement is that if a technique were devised to induce brain concussion without giving either advance warning or causing external physical trauma, the person upon recovery would be unable to recall what had happened to him. Under these conditions the same technique of producing the concussion could be re-used many times without disclosure of its nature. 10.3 First, considering the possibilities of direct impact to the head_cr_body, it should beTpossible-from the-findings of this research program to determine the following: a. Optimum design of impacting devices. b. Optimum points of impact on skull or body for the specific effects desired. c. Intensity of the blow for the effect desired. 10.4 In regard to the potential impacting devices, there are certain design requsites that are apparent at this time: a. The impact should be delivered without advance warning. b. The area of impact and force distribution should be such that surface trauma does not occur. c. The intensity of the impacting force and its duration should be such as to obtain the desired effect. d. The device should be as small and as silent as possible. 10.5 The specific impacting devices might take the form of any of the following: a. A pancake type black-jack giving a high peak impact force with a low unit surface pressure. WARNIN iCE ^ b. Concealed or camouflaged spring-loaded impacting devices that trigger upon contact with the head. (Original and sole copy :agg) SEN. QU 3 I INTELLIC,ENCE 3 METHODS INVOLVE� c. A projectile type impacter such as an air gun using A small shot filled sack for a projectile. d. An explosive pad detonated in contact with the head or the body. 10.6 Let us now consider the possibilities of exciting the resonance cavitation directly without impact. There is considerable evidence that resonance cavitation can be induced directly in the following ways: a. A blast wave propagated in air. (Blast Concussion) b. Physical excitation with a mechanical driver o! horn, tuned to the resonant frequency of the head. 10.7 A single blast pressure wave propagated in air must have considerable intensity in order to produce brain concussion, however, there is considerable evidence (Carver & Dinsley) that modification of the pressure wave can produce profound effects. 10.8 Excitation of the resonance cavitation by using a tuned driver at this time appears to be well within the relm of possibility. The neurotic-like manifestations normally associated with blast concussion could possibly be induced by this method. Use of this method,bowever, would require actual physical contact with the drivers. 10.9 EXcitation of the resonance cavitation by tuned sound waves also appears to be a reasonable possibility. Concentration of the sound- field at some remote point could be effected with accoustical lenses 'and reflectors. The blast duration would be in the order of a tenth of a second. Masking of a noise of this duration should not be too dificult. 11.0 It would possibly be advantageous to establish the effectivness of both of the above methods as a tool in brain-wash therapy. . A full knowledge of the method and the resulting sequoia should be of aid to any person forced to submit to such treatment. 12,0 Possibly the most significant potential aspect of this study would be in the development of practical means of giving a person immunity, even though temporary, to brain concussion. Cne technique that appears to have potentialities involves the introduction of a small quantity of gas, approximately 1 cc, into the spinal cord. This gas bubble would, then normally migrate to the ventricles located at the centrum of the brain. ,The ability of this bubble to expand under dynamic leading would be most effective in preventing resonance cavitation from occuring.
