Michael H. Overlin: Involuntary human experimentation in Behavioral Control and Brain research

How I became a victim of involuntary human experimentation

Main

From the written statement I submitted as part of my application for political asylum in Germany (from http://www.geocities.com/mrmistermicko/writstmt/page4.htm )

There are good reasons to suspect that the U.S. federal government, particularly the military and the CIA, have been using involuntary human test subjects in the development of non-lethal directed energy weapons. The official report “Torture in the United States”, by the World Organization Against Torture, 1998, states:

Similar concerns also are being raised about involuntary human experimentation involving new forms of classified research and testing of high technology military weaponry, including microwave and laser equipment. Groups working on these issues cite, among other evidence of the existence of these unauthorized testing procedures, a White House inter-governmental memorandum dated March 27, 1997, establishing stronger guidelines prohibiting non-consensual testing for classified research, but suggesting, by implication, that this type of human subject research may, in fact, be taking place. ... these allegations of continuing improprieties involving secret government sponsored human testing should not be dismissed without more thorough, impartial investigation.

A longer excerpt from this report is given elsewhere in this statement.

As I state in my chronological account included in this statement of the harassment I have suffered,

Sometime during my first or second year of working for professor Clare Yu, I attended a conference with her and professor Michael Dennin at the Beckman Laser Institute, which is located on the UC Irvine campus. The topic of the conference, as best as I can recall, was the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the human brain. I think that at this conference I may signed a statement in which I supposedly agree to be used as an experimental subject in this kind of research. However, I have never given informed consent to be used as such an experimental subject. While attending this conference in my capacity as a research assistant for professor Yu, I did not carefully read statements I was asked to sign concerning research. I naturally assumed they were non-disclosure agreements, and agreements that I would help in investigating this phenomenon as a physicist. I certainly did not intend to agree to be used as an experimental subject for this kind of research. Also, I remember having great difficulty with concentration and with my memory that day. It is possible electromagnetic weapons were used to put me in a state of confusion that day to make it more likely I would sign consent forms.

I believe that I am being used as an involuntary human test subject in studies to better understand the effects of electromagnetic radiation (particularly microwave radiation) on the human brain, and to devleop methods of using non-lethal directed energy weapons to influence human behavior.

My use as an involuntary human test subject would have begun sometime after I attended the conference mentioned above at the Beckman Laser Institute, therefore after February 1998.

Something interesting (see below) -- brain scans on old UCI physics web page

Searching the Internet Archive shows that from approximately 2001 to 2003 the main web page for the UC Irvine Physics and Astronomy department displayed an animated GIF containing a brain scan image.
The animated GIF shown above is from the November 3, 2003 copy . Currently the GIF doesn't appear in some of the other archived versions during that time interval (at least with my browser), but if you look at the HTML source you can see that it should be there -- it's the "pictures_in_squares.gif" image. This will mainly be interesting for current and former graduate students of the UC Irvine math department. Look at the brain scan image from that animated GIF (magnified).

Here is a question for current and former UC Irvine math graduate students who happen to view this page: Can you identify who is shown in the above silouette? This looks like one of the graduate students in the math department. What is his connection with the physics department, and brain/medical imaging research going on there? Why was his brain scan on the physics main web page? When I entered the math graduate program in 2000 he had already been a graduate student for 3 or 4 years. As of May 2007 he was still a graduate student, although he may not be currently. That makes 10 or 11 years at least. As far as I know, he was the only student allowed to take the same Ph.D. qualifying exam more than twice. This person was among the perpetrators of the harassment and torture I suffered when I first became a victim of involuntary human experimentation at UC Irvine.
