When I was invited to attend a session, along with a prominent Denver physician, Dr. Eisenbud had no knowledge of my career in photography. I would not have been invited if my profession were known because Serios looked with disfavor upon photographers. I was introduced as a medical illustrator, one of my activities at the hospital where I worked.

Initially I became involved in the Serios affair because, from 1960 to 1970, I was Director of the Biomedical Communications Department in a private hospital in Denver.

Consequently, in the mid '60s, I was continually consulted by members of the hospital staff and the Denver medical community to explain the claims and widely circulated rumors relating to Dr. Eisenbud, Ted Serios and thoughtography.At the time I had no answers although I suspected trickery.

Many people were mystified by what they heard about these two men and thoughtography. How could any person's thoughts be focused by a camera and made visible on a photograph?

The hospital administrator where I worked was concerned about the use of hosptital facilities by Dr. Eisenbud during his investigations (specifically in the Radiology and Cardiology Departments where Dr. Eisenbud conducted tests with Serios).

The administator sponsored my research into the credibility of Dr. Eisenbud's claims. In time I was invited to a demonstration by Serios.

Serios had many idiosyncrasies and neurotic tendencies. Some of these are noted on the next page.
