Why Do Dogs Love Bones?
Possible MK connection to the NZ shooter,
Q asking about dogs and bones leads, leads to Stanley Coren.
Dig on this dog columnist who went to Stanford (C_A) in the late 60’s. His work focused on visual illusions. Would that not be handy for MK research for visual hallucination inducement?

He is best known to the public for his popular books on dogs and on general psychological issues, however within the scientific world he is also a highly respected scientist having done research in a wide range of psychological areas including sensory processes (vision and hearing), neuropsychology (handedness, sleep, birth stress effects and behavior genetics) and cognition (information processing and intelligence).

His engaging writing style has made his books for general audiences extremely popular.

I have not been able to read any of his papers but with titles like "Levels of perceptual processing in the development of visual illusions" (1975), "The Measurement of Sensation: A Critique of Perceptual Psychophysics" (1972), "Effect of an external stress on commonality of verbal associates" (1971), it has my spooky almonds tingling.
