The brain school that experimented on Indigenous children
In 2014, a U.S. brainwave scientist claimed he could increase people\u2019s creativity and cure their traumas. And he got permission to experiment on Indigenous children in Canada, offering an all-expenses-paid trip to Victoria, B.C.
But a decade later, some study participants say the testing they went through \u2014 which included staff attaching electrodes to their heads and being asked to talk about the most traumatic moments of their lives \u2014 wasn\u2019t what they signed up for and may have left side-effects.
We hear from CBC\u2019s Geoff Leo about what his investigation turned up and why critics are demanding more accountability and transparency over how the study was approved in the first place.
