This report has been signed by both Dr. and myself. The grant received from your organization was overexpended in the amount of $442.79 due to fulfillment. of comtnittments of a twelve-month salary agreement with technicians working on this project. Please advise me if it will be at all possible for this amount of overexpenditure to be approved. Your favorable consideration in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Once a.gain I wish to apologize for the delay in submitting this infor. Illation and 1 sincerely hope that it has not inconvenienced you too much.

SOURCES AND NETHODS It as part of a continuing program M.D. Professor of Psychiatry Principal Investigator VED ID . CONTINUATION OF STUDIES ON HYPNOSIS_AND_SUGGESTIBILITY . Preliminary clinical rese rch during 1955-56 has yielded promising leads in terms of knowledge of how hypnotizability can be influenced by pharmacological means. Several drugs have been identified that apparently are effective_in_speeding the induction of the hypnotic state, and in deepening the trance that can be produced in given subjects. These observations remain to be confirmed through studies of larger numbers of normal subjects and insofar as possible, quanti- fied. Observations have also been made of drugs that provide some degree of immunity to hypnotic influence. These investigations also require considerable elaboration. B. It is proposed that the experiments begian during 1955-56 involving hypnotizability, suggestibility, and the roles of certain drugs in altering these attributes, be continued and extended during 1956-67, II. NEW STUDIES ON THE NATURE OP HYPNOSIS, SUGGESTIBILITY, AND TRANCE- LIKE STATES A. -Experiments involving altered personality function as a result of environmental manipulation (chiefly sensory isolation) have yielded promising leads in terms of suggestibility and the production of trance-like states. There is reason to believe that environmental manipulations can affect the tendencies for dissociative phenomena to occur. Isolation, in particular, can markedly change the indi- vidualls response to suggestion in the form of verbal communication. Bo It is proposed that new experiments utilizinz special environmental _rallipulations, including sensory isolation, be begun with a view to- -4.4A-1441NetNOT So6:444~94t114441etNCE ward determining the ways in which the resultant psychophysiological alterations can_be quantified and the ways in which these altered states can be utilized in the production of increased influence- ability in normal subjects. NEW STUDIES OF PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS AND REACTIONS TO STRESS, EMPLOYING HYPNOTIC TECHNIQUSS A. Current experiments have definitely established a number of ways in which hypnotic suggestions can bring about states of marked psychological stress in suitable subjects, with resultant changes in neurophysiological and neuro-endocrinological function. It has also been shown in preliminary studies that hypnotic methods can successfully be employed to protect individuals from the psycho- physiological reactions to noxious stimulation. These observations constitute an indication that more control can be exerted over the autonomic nervous system than has been previously supposed. *Coupled with the recent development of autonomic drugs of highly specific activity it is now possible to isolate more precisely than ever be- fore the exact means by which and thl precise degree to which payeho- physiological reactions occur to specific types of stress. B. It is proposed that the combined use of hypnotic techniques and auto- nomic drugs be exercised in initiating seine original studies on the nature of psychophysiological reactions to stress. 'IV. TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS All of the above-recommended experimental procedures will require special equipment, special methodologies, and special skills. In order to make possible a continuing research program in this area, a psycho- physiological research taam is being developed a the AMINIP. Facilities of the and th are available. However, within the overall framework of these -faoilities, a unique laboratory_must be.'organized and constructed. This laboratory will include a special chamber, in which all psychologically significant aspects of the environment can be controlled. This chamber will contain, among other things, a broad-spectrum polygraph for simultaneous re- cordings of a variety of psychophysiological reactions of the individual be- ing studied. In this setting the various hypnotic, pharmacolcgic, and sensory-environmental variables wil1Jbe manipulated in a controlled fashion and quantitative continuous recordings of the reactions of the experimental subjects will be made. Under these conditions, and with the utilization of the special skills of the research-tea , it is expected that some significant original and valuable observations will be obtained. VE I TELL.
