Plaat, Lotte (Mme. von Strahl) (1895-?)

Dutch psychometrist whom, for some time, the German police regularly employed to trace criminals. She was born December 30, 1895. Plaat was under the observation of Drs. Paul Sünner, Gustave Pagenstechner, Harms, Ludwig Jahn, Kasnacich, and other scientists, who recorded significant results with her. In 1930, important experiments in psychometry took place at the National Laboratory of Psychical Research in London at the conclusion of which Plaat left for the United States where further experimental work was performed.
