20 male and 20 female undergraduate students were exposed singly for 20 min. to an exotic setting (partial sensory deprivation and weak, bilateral transtemporal pulsed magnetic fields) that enhances relaxation and exotic experiences. The numerical incidence of subjective experiences described as old memories, dreams, emotions, or vestibular sensations did not differ significantly between the sexes; however, women who reported a greater prevalence of preexperimental complex partial epileptic-like signs were more likely to report experiences of "old memories" (r = 0.61) while men who exhibited these signs were more likely to report dream-like (r = 0.49) experiences. Because complex partial epileptic-like signs are positively associated with suggestibility, the potential contribution of this differential gender effect to the etiology of the False Memory Syndrome requires further investigation.
20名男性和20名女性本科生被单独暴露于一种奇异环境（部分感觉剥夺和微弱的双侧经颞部脉冲磁场）中20分钟，这种环境能增强放松感和奇异体验。被描述为旧记忆、梦境、情感或前庭感觉的主观体验的数字发生率在性别之间没有显著差异；然而，报告实验前复杂部分性癫痫样体征患病率较高的女性更有可能报告“旧记忆”体验（r = 0.61），而表现出这些体征的男性更有可能报告梦境样体验（r = 0.49）。由于复杂部分性癫痫样体征与易受暗示性呈正相关，这种性别差异效应对错误记忆综合征病因的潜在贡献需要进一步研究。
