Hypnopaedia: A Study of the Ability to Learn While Sleeping
By Michael Klein
While reading this article, I noticed a number of faults in the setup of the experiment, which indicated the possibility that hypnopaedia was not impossible. The paper of the research, done by Emmons and Simon, never specified the nouns used in the study, so their results couldn’t be duplicated. The words in the study were learned by listening, but volunteers were tested in a written format.
