Physics of Sound and Vibration: Effects On Human Electro-Dynamic Physiology

Twitter: Man in America WBAN - Part I December 21, 2023 Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) Source accessed 12/22/2003 https://www.waves.intec.ugent.be/research/wireless-body-area-networks A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) connects independent nodes (e.g. sensors and actuators) that are situated in the clothes, on the body or under the skin of a person. The network typically expands over the whole human body and the nodes are connected through a wireless communication channel. According to the implementation, these nodes are placed in a star or multihop topology. A WBAN offers many promising new applications in the area of remote health monitoring, home/health care, medicine, multimedia, sports and many other, all of which make advantage of the unconstrained freedom of movement a WBAN offers. In the medical field, for example, a patient can be equipped with a wireless body area network consisting of sensors that constantly measure specific biological functions, such as temperature...

Changing Hearts and Brains: SOF Must Prepare Now for Neurowarfare By Dr. Shannon Houck, COL John Crisafulli, Lt Col Joshua Gramm, Maj Brian Branagan The timeworn “changing hearts and minds” idiom may soon take on a more literal meaning as we confront the weaponization of neurotechnology.  In December 2016, CIA officers and American and Canadian diplomats stationed in Havana, Cuba reported hearing pulsing sounds, sometimes accompanied by pressure sensations in their heads.  Neurological symptoms followed - symptoms like headaches, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, fatigue, and hearing and vision loss.  [i]   Over 40 US government employees were affected;  24 were diagnosed with brain damage.  These were not isolated incidents.  Similar reports have emerged from US personnel in China, Russia, Uzbekistan, and CIA officers working in several different countries.  [ii]  Two separate cases in the Washington DC area are currently under investi...
