The Montreal experiments were a series of experiments, initially aimed to treat schizophrenia by changing memories and erasing the patients' thoughts using Donald Ewen Cameron's method of “psychic driving”, as well as drug-induced sleep, intensive electroconvulsive therapy, sensory deprivation and Thorazine. The experiments were conducted at the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University between 1957 and 1964 by the Scottish psychiatrist Donald Ewen Cameron and funded by the CIA as part of Project MKUltra, which lasted until 1973 and was only revealed to the public in 1975.

  • The Montreal experiments were a series of experiments, initially aimed to treat schizophrenia by changing memories and erasing the patients' thoughts using Donald Ewen Cameron's method of “psychic driving”, as well as drug-induced sleep, intensive electroconvulsive therapy, sensory deprivation and Thorazine. The experiments were conducted at the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University between 1957 and 1964 by the Scottish psychiatrist Donald Ewen Cameron and funded by the CIA as part of Project MKUltra, which lasted until 1973 and was only revealed to the public in 1975. The patients of this experiment expected positive changes from Cameron's treatment. However, these patients suffered severely under conditions that were not in accordance with human rights. Not only the patients but also their families show long lasting effects on their mental health. Some of these symptoms include retrograde amnesia as well as impairments in every day life abilities such as self-care. To this day, the topic of the experiments of Montreal has been kept in the dark by the CIA, who actively prevent information about these experiments from being leaked to the public, whether that be through destruction of files or signing non-disclosure agreements. Whether or not Cameron was aware that funding for his experiments was coming from the CIA is unclear; it has been argued that he would have carried out the exact same experiments if funding had come from a source without ulterior motives.

  • As experiências de Montreal foram uma série de experiências, inicialmente destinados a tratar a esquizofrenia, mudando as memórias e apagando os pensamentos dos pacientes usando o método de "direção psíquica" de Donald Ewen Cameron, bem como induzido o sono através de drogas, eletroconvulsoterapia, privação sensorial e Clorpromazina. As experiências foram conduzidas no Instituto Allan Memorial da Universidade McGill entre 1957 e 1964 pelo psiquiatra escocês Donald Ewen Cameron e financiadas pela CIA como parte do Projeto MKUltra, que durou até 1973 e só foi revelado ao público em 1975. Os pacientes desta experiência, que foram principalmente diagnosticados com depressão ou esquizofrenia, esperavam mudanças positivas com o tratamento de Cameron. No entanto, esses pacientes sofreram gravemente em condições que vão contra os direitos humanos. Não apenas os pacientes, mas também as suas famílias apresentam efeitos duradouros na sua saúde mental. Alguns desses sintomas incluem amnésia retrógrada, bem como deficiências nas habilidades da vida diária, como autocuidado. Até hoje, o tópico das experiênias de Montreal tem sido ocultado pela CIA, que ativamente impede que informações sobre esses experimentos sejam expostas para o público, seja por meio da destruição de arquivos ou assinatura deacordos de confidencialidade.
