Mind Control Experiments: The Programs That Treated Humans as Hardware

Drugs, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, coercion, and “behavioral research” with blurred consent. We track declassified projects, institutional pipelines, and the missing files—mapping what’s proven, what’s alleged, and what was designed to stay undocumented.

Scope of Inquiry

What This Sub-Archive Tracks

This sub-archive tracks mind control experiments as documented systems: drug programs, hypnosis research, sensory deprivation, coercive interrogation methods, and “behavioral science” conducted where consent was weak, ambiguous, or absent. We follow declassified files, oversight reports, academic pipelines, and court records—highlighting what can be proven, what remains alleged, and where archives were deliberately destroyed or compartmentalized.

Classification Categories

Drug Programs

LSD, sedatives, stimulants, and “truth” drugs—tested to disrupt, steer, or extract behavior.

Interrogation Science

Techniques built to break resistance: isolation, stress, suggestion, and controlled environments.

Missing Files

Destroyed archives, redacted annexes, and the “administrative traces” that survive instead.

Reading Protocol

How to Read a Mind Control Record

  • Anchor claims to documents: approvals, budgets, partners, and oversight—then map what’s missing.
  • Separate technique from myth: what’s experimentally plausible vs what’s cinematic shorthand.
  • Follow institutional pipelines: universities, hospitals, prisons, contractors—where research meets power.

The darkest part isn’t the technique. It’s the paperwork that treats a person like a test platform.

Brainwashing Experiments: What the Records Show—and Where They Stop

The subject of brainwashing experiments encompasses a broad range of coercive persuasion and behavioral conditioning trials found in archival files. While documents confirm that institutions studied mechanisms to alter conduct, the evidence does not certify a functional process for permanent ideological reprogramming.

Project Monarch Programming: Where the Official Record Stops

Project Monarch programming is a widely cited term for alleged trauma-based control mechanisms that does not appear within the verified government archive. While primary records substantiate other covert behavioral research, no official documentation validates this specific designation or its operational existence.

Project ARTICHOKE: Documented Methods and Unresolved Gaps

Official files define project artichoke as an Agency cryptonym for the study of special interrogation techniques. The declassified record establishes a reference library of research bibliographies and memoranda, yet the collection lacks the primary directives or subject-level files needed to certify operational scale.

CIA Mind Control Programs: Where the Surviving Record Stops

Declassified records define cia mind control programs as covert initiatives focused on behavioral modification and chemical interrogation research. While oversight bodies formally examined these activities, the surviving archive remains discontinuous and provides no certified evidence linking these efforts to post–Cold War policy.

MKUltra Mind Control: What the Files Show and Where They Stop

CIA documentation identifies the mkultra mind control subject as a code-name program for research into behavioral modification. Senate oversight records and archival files confirm the existence of subprojects but do not substantiate successful operational capabilities or outcomes.

MKUltra CIA: Between Documented Programs and Destroyed Files

The mkultra cia program was a covert research initiative focused on behavioral modification and interrogation. While administrative records document its existence and general objectives, the intentional destruction of operational files prevents a complete reconstruction of specific activities or subjects.

A Living Archive

This project is never complete. History is a fluid signal, often distorted by those who record it. We are constantly updating these files as new information is declassified or discovered.
