Russian Sleep (was Re: Dr. Patrick Flanagan?)

Suggestion: try a Dogpile search on "Russian sleep", "elektroson" and "electronarcosis".

Soviet experimenters ballyhooed this back in the 60s. The idea was to use electrodes fixed on the eyelids and behind the ears to induce relaxed (correlated with alpha or theta brainwaves) states. It's possible that there was some entrainment effect due to e.g. phosphenes (the "lights" sometimes seen when one rubs one's eyes).

Reported results by Western researchers through around 1973 were mixed and inconclusive.
