Can the Microwave Auditory Effect Be “Weaponized”
Brief but intense pulses of radiofrequency (RF) energy can elicit auditory sensations when absorbed in the head of an individual, an effect known as the microwave auditory or “Frey effect” after the first investigator to examine the phenomenon (1). The effect is known to arise from thermoacoustically (TA)-induced acoustic waves in the head (2). \n \nLin has proposed that the Frey effect may be linked to unexplained health problems reported by U.S…
