Patent No. 3586791 Method and apparatus for hearing by bio-detection and bio-transduction of radio frequency energy
Patent No. 3586791 Method and apparatus for hearing by bio-detection and bio-transduction of radio frequency energy (Puharich, et al., Jun 22, 1971) Abstract The present invention relates to a method and apparatus utilizing R-F carriers of predetermined frequencies to stimulate the sensation of hearing in human subjects and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for establishing a peak LC series resonant coupling, at approximately the predetermined R-F carrier frequency, between a signal source and the facial nerve system of the human subject to transmit A-F information modulated onto the R-F carrier to the brain through the "facial nerve system," well-defined anatomical network of nerves. More particularly, the modulated R-F signal is capacitively coupled to opposite sides of the head at the periaural and/or stylomastoid region through electrodes. A series inductor is included between the source of R-F signals a
