It's been suggested that the experiments were a part of MKULTRA, but it's not been proven AFAIK.

There was plenty of unethical psychological research going on at the time, so there's no need to assume the CIA was involved at all.

Ah yes this looks more correct, I was mistaken. Apparently TedK was subjected to these experiments by a professor who also happened to have been employed by US intelligence but it’s unclear whether the experiment was part of MKULTRA itself. Thanks for the correction!
