In 2369, Commander William T. Riker was kidnapped and subjected to a neurosomatic technique. One of the delusions created by this technique had him believe he was a patient in ward 47 at the Institute. While there, he also met a woman named Jaya who also claimed to be a kidnapped Starfleet officer, "Commander Bloom of the starship USS Yorktown". He soon realized that she really was a psychiatric patient however, when she tried to use a spoon as a communicator. (TNG: "Frame of Mind" )
