Bart Huges

Hugo Bart Huges (also Hughes; 23 April 1934 – 30 August 2004) was a Dutch librarian and proponent of trepanation.

[1] He attended medical school at the University of Amsterdam, but was refused a degree due to his advocacy of marijuana use.

[2] In 1964 he published "The Mechanism of Brainbloodvolume ('BBV')" (also known as "Homo Sapiens Correctus"), a scroll in which he proposed that trepanation could be used to enhance brain functionality by balancing the proportion of blood and cerebral spinal fluid.

In the 1970s Huges and his girlfriend Eveline van Dijk made several comics promoting trepanation.

[4] His writings influenced the British-born Joey Mellen to undergo self-trepanation, which he documented in a book called Bore Hole.
