Nine Drawings on Acid

Via cowboybooks.com via Making Light: Nine drawings on acid, a 1950s government experiment in which a professional artist was given LSD, and then had to draw portraits of the scientist observing him.

I especially enjoy the dry descriptions: "Upon completing the drawing the patient starts laughing, then becomes startled by something on the floor."

But was someone watching the scientist watching the artist so as to objectively report what was in the observation room?
