Harvard psychopathologist whose 2004 script-driven-imagery study found abductees show PTSD-grade physiological responses to their 'memories' - proving the distress is real while the event almost certainly never happened.

The crucial honesty pillar: intense, measurable bodily reactivity during recall is NOT proof the remembered event occurred. Refutes the naive 'look how it affects them, it must be real' argument. (Psychological Science 15(7):493, 2004.).
