Project MKULTRA was a CIA project concerned with the
research and development of chemical, biological, and
radiological materials capable of employment in
clandestine operations to control human behavior. The
program consisted of some 149 subprojects which the
Agency contracted out to various universities, research
foundations, and similar institutions. At least 80
institutions and 185 private researchers participated.
Because the Agency funded MKUltra indirectly, many of the
participating individuals were unaware that they were
dealing with the Agency. The project was organized
through the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA,
the project coordinated with the Special Operations
Division of the U.S. Army's Chemical Corps. The program
began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in
1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in
1967 and officially halted in 1973. The program engaged
in many morally objectionable activities, including the
use of unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test
subjects, which led to controversy regarding its
legitimacy. MKUltra used numerous methodologies to
manipulate people's mental states and alter brain
functions, including the surreptitious administration of
drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis,
sensory deprivation, isolation and abuse. Compiled from
TIF images obtained by The Black Vault.
