Alteration of Brain States

Lots of them use specific sounds and frequencies to induce desired states in the brain and have applications including anti-shoplifting, creating harmonious states in multiple humans and some can cause sexual arousal.

A patent for getting a graph of the brainwave pattern from a distance that can be used to compare the thought to an existing database of thoughts

Remote system that transmits a specific radio wave signal designed to interfere with the brain's activity in a way that yields readable results as to the brain's state that can then be analysed.

Patent Date: May 30, 1989
