Hypnotism May Solve Riddle of Mason Memory Loss in LSU Study
Hypnotic tests at Louisiana State University aim to unlock the 18 month amnesia of "Mr. George Mason" who woke in a New Orleans hotel in 1929 with no memory. The man, about 45, 5'9", 125 pounds, once traveled widely seeking identity and recalled San Francisco, Australia links, and a "Sacred Heart school." A weekly hypnotic regimen follows Mason's earlier observation at a state hospital after moving from the hotel and prior failed efforts to uncover his past.
