In the 1950s and 1960s, the CIA undertook a series of research and
operational programs aimed at gaining control of human behavior,
commonly known as mind control. The most famous and notable of
these was MKULTRA, which from 1953 to 1964 spawned 149 subprojects
that developed and studied "a number of procedures for influencing
and predicting human behavior by chemical and psychological means."
The intention for the techniques was to "have both defensive
applications ... and offensive applications (e.g. the use of
psychochemicals to control or discredit an individual)." The
Project MKULTRA Compendium presents the results of investigations
into these programs, offering views on the ethics and limits of
medical research.
