Water constitutes a significant portion of the human body, ranging from 55% to 70%. A large proportion of this water contains particles known as ions, which are atoms or molecules that have either gained or lost an electron, resulting in a positive or negative charge. Liquids in the human body, rich in these ions, can be likened to electrolytes—substances that conduct electrical currents and can function similarly to antennas. The activity of the human nervous system is predominantly characterized by electrical currents arising from the flow of these charged particles through nerve fibers. Information within the brain is communicated through the number and frequency of nerve impulses, with the intensity of feelings or perceptions typically correlating to the intensity of the electrical current. Thus, the human nervous system operates in a manner akin to a digital system and can be compared to a computer and connected to it.
In response to stimuli that attract the brain’s attention, the frequencies of nerve impulses in different areas of the brain are synchronized. By delivering to the brain the appropriate number of electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic impulses of a certain frequency, it is possible to artificially induce the activity of neurons corresponding to a certain natural brain activity.
As early as the 1950s, Spanish scientist José Delgado, conducted in the USA experiments involving electrical stimulation of the brain. When he stimulated the motion center in a cat’s brain, the animal lifted its paw, even during a jump, resulting in a poorly executed landing. When a volunteer was asked to straighten a hand that was electrically stimulated to bend, he remarked, “I think your electricity is stronger than my will.” Delgado’s work demonstrated that electrical stimulation could significantly affect functions like breathing, heart rate, and even visceral secretions. When the pleasure center was stimulated women offered marriage to therapists.
In 1962, American scientist Allen H. Frey successfully created sounds within the brains of human subjects using pulsed microwaves—a finding that has been replicated multiple times and recognized by the World Health Organization. In 2012, Allen H. Frey wrote that research into the effects of microwave radiation on human organisms had been falsified in the US in previous years in order to conceal the development of microwave bioweapons (it should come as no surprise that this article has disappeared from The Scientist website). In other words the further research in this area was classified.
