SOME EXPERIMENTS IN HYPNOSIS.

Initial Experiments Investigating the Nature of Hypnosis.

INTRODUCTION During the 1923-24 formal Seminar on Hypnosis at the University of Wisconsin under the supervision of Clark L. Hull, the author, then an undergraduate student, reported for the discussion by the postgraduate students of the psychology department upon his own many and varied experimental investigative findings during the previous six months of intensive work and on his current studi...

Experiments in the substitution of symptoms by hypnosis: II.

The "hidden observer" phenomenon in hypnosis: some additional findings.

Twenty-three highly hypnotizable subjects underwent two specially constructed 7-item hypnotic inductions. Over the 14 items, the main finding was of a relationship between Hilgard's "hidden observer" effect and two aspects of hypnotic age regression. Subjects reporting a hidden observer experienced duality during regression to age 5, in which they were aware of being both adult and child. When ...

Some experiments in number theory

Following footsteps of Gauss, Euler, Riemann, Hurwitz, Smith, Hardy, Littlewood, Hedlund, Khinchin and Chebyshev, we visit some topics in elementary number theory. For matrices defined by Gaussian primes we observe a circular spectral law for the eigenvalues. We experiment then with various Goldbach conjectures for Gaussian primes, Eisenstein primes, Hurwitz primes or Octavian primes. These con...

Frankenstein Classiiers: Some Experiments

We present some empirical results on the use of two methods for integrating diierent classiiers into a hybrid classiier that should perform better than each of its constituent classiiers. The main point of these methods is that instead of combining full classiiers, they combine pieces of them. One of the methods is based on ROC analysis; the other is based on augmenting the data with features d...
