• Sommario/riassunto: Although there are many publications in newspapers and popular magazines, discussing ""Electromagnetic Mind Control"" and ""Electromagnetic Weapons,"" it is almost impossible to find reliable information on these issues, particularly where relatively weak electromagnetic (EM) radiations are of concern. This book fills the gap. Written for a general audience, it discusses the physics of and related scientific information on brain control using EM fields. It provides a balanced scientific viewpoint on the possibility of the effects of EM on the human brain and mind. The book considers --current
