1The program of research on which this study is based is carried out at the Psychophysiological Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The laboratory receives support from the Rockefeller and Hanford Foundations, and from the National Institutes of Health (under program grant M-S673). Additional aid is being received from the Life Sciences and Behavioral Sciences Programs of the Office of Scientific Research, U.S. Air Force, and from the Behavioral Biology Program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, under NASA grant NSG-496. In its earlier phases while at the Bellevue Medical Center in New York, from 1948 to 1962, the laboratory has been supported by the Commonwealth Fund of New York, by the U.S. Veterans Administration, and by the Office of the Surgeon General, U.S. Army, under Contract DA-49-007-MD-312.
