Le médecin berlinois Werner Forssmann procéda à une auto-expérimentation en s’insérant un tuyau de 65 cm dans la veine du bras jusqu'au cœur. Cela fait, il se rendit à pied jusqu'à l'installation de rayons X pour y faire procéder à une radiographie. L'extrémité du tuyau atteignait l'oreillette droite.

Auto-experimentación es el término que define la investigación científica llevada a cabo por un individuo con la finalidad de alcanzar una mayor comprensión de sí mismo. Este tipo de estudio involucra doblemente a la persona o conciencia, siendo la misma tanto objeto de investigación como investigador, observador y analista de la experiencia. La experiencia personal es por lo tanto la herramienta indispensable con la cual se lleva a cabo la investigación. 1, record 2, Spanish, - auto%2Dexperimentaci%C3%B3n
