Hi Don, Jerry & all !

Anyone interested in this thread should read

http://www.mk.net/~mcf/mind_net/mn132.htm
http://www.mk.net/~mcf/mind_net/mn159.htm

These are 2 articles by Judy Wall, editor of "Resonance, Bioelectromagnetics
newsletter", posted on the NetMind archives, on the subject of "synthetic
telepathy", or "EM intracranial sound".

The articles point to the 1961 research of Allen Frey ( "Auditory System
Response to Radio Frequency Energy"). Frey was a free-lance biophysicist and
engineering psychologist, who reported (but was not believed at the time)
that human can hear microwaves. Frey succeeded in transmitting "buzzing or
knocking sounds, clicks or chirps".

Then there is the work of Joseph Sharp and Mark Grove, 1974, "Generation of
Acoustic Signals by Pulsed Microwave Energy". They transmitted one-syllable
numbers from 1 to 10.

Then the patent by Philip L. Stocklin, "Hearing Device," 1989, "A method
and apparatus for simulation of hearing in mammals by introduction of a
plurality of microwaves into the region of the auditory cortex.'"

In all these experiments, the exact pathway was not defined conclusively. I.e.
whether it is caused by direct action of the EM field on the nervous system
(coupling with the neurons' fields) or if it activates the auditory system (the
"thermoelastic theory" - conversion of EM energy to acoustic due to thermal
expansion, on the cochlea). All this is discussed in the 2 well-documented
articles.

Of course it's not real "thought-transmitting" telepathy, rather sound and word
transmission. But interesting anyway...
