In the 1‘itiOs. Timothy Leary coined

screen

chology at the University of California.
Berkeley In 11)5'). he was appointed to
the faculty of Harvard University to
introdur e new methods for correcting
behavior
For three years, Leary was the director
of the Harvard Psychedelic Research
Project While involved with this prnjei t,
he began his clinical study of psychedel
ic drugs,
"Mr interest has always been the
brain," Leary said in a phone interview
He emphasized that the use of drugs is
lust one of the ways to activate the brain,
the other two being meditation and elec -
tronic lights and sounds
"All I a<lvim ale is that people learn to
operate their mind and brain," Leary
said
Leary referred to the writings of l‘H>Os
author Marshall McLuhan. who predict
ed that “electrons are the best way to
communicate one mind to another, one
brain to another "
During his research at Harvard in the
lVifiOs, Leary discovered that light shows
could produce the same effect on the
brain as the use of psychedelics
Leary said he believes that the brain
lives off light and that people starve their
brains of this necessary light His
research has progressed through to the
1990s, and he is now able to make use of
Uxiay's technology.
Through the usr of computers and C.D
