During Northern Ireland's Operation Demetrius in 1971, 14 men were subjected to sensory deprivation torture — including forced hood-wearing — that closely echoed Cameron's methods.

After Cameron left the Allan, his successor ordered an impartial review which concluded his methods were no more effective than any standard treatment and caused lasting memory damage even a decade later [1] — Carter Roy "In a 1963 keynote speech, Cameron publicly admitted that none of his electroshock, psychic driving, or induced-coma treatments ever success…" 38:45 . Cameron himself came to the same conclusion — in a 1963 keynote speech, he admitted that none of his shock treatments, psychic driving, or induced comas had ever successfully eliminated a patient's unwanted symptoms for good. MKUltra as a whole found no reliable method of mind control. Yet the damage Cameron caused did not stay confined to Montreal. In 1963, the CIA and US Army published the Kubark Counterintelligence Interrogation Manual, a top-secret guide to breaking 'resistant sources' [2] — Carter Roy "In 1963, the CIA published the secret Kubark Counterintelligence Interrogation manual, a guide to breaking 'resistant sources.' It recommen…" 39:40 . It recommended sensory deprivation and explicitly cited McGill University experiments. Similar techniques were later used in Argentina, in Chile, and in Northern Ireland in 1971, where Operation Demetrius saw 14 men — the Hooded Men — subjected to sensory deprivation torture; all were released without ever being convicted. Some say Cameron laid the blueprint for torture. As for his motive, Carter Roy offers one theory: Cameron desperately wanted a Nobel Prize and was never considered truly talented by his peers — Dr. Hebb dismissed him as a product of office politics, not genuine research ability. He achieved fame, but at the cost of dozens of lives. The Allan Memorial Institute building still stands, now used by McGill University, and is reportedly one of the most haunted places in Quebec.
In a 1963 keynote speech, Cameron publicly admitted that none of his electroshock, psychic driving, or induced-coma treatments ever successfully eliminated unwanted symptoms. MKUltra also never found an effective method of mind control. The experiments destroyed lives for nothing.
In a 1963 keynote speech, Cameron himself admitted that none of his shock treatments, psychic driving, or induced comas successfully rid patients of their unwanted symptoms for good.
In 1963, the CIA published the secret Kubark Counterintelligence Interrogation manual, a guide to breaking 'resistant sources.' It recommended sensory deprivation and explicitly cited experiments at McGill University — Cameron's work. Techniques resembling his were later used on detainees in Argentina, Chile, and Northern Ireland.
The CIA's 1963 top-secret Kubark Counterintelligence Interrogation manual explicitly mentioned experiments conducted at McGill University — ostensibly Cameron's — as the basis for sensory deprivation interrogation techniques.
