What Are Mind-Altering Technologies?
Mind-altering technology encompasses tools and techniques designed to interact with and manipulate the human mind, combining neuroscience, psychology, and engineering. Examples include neurostimulation devices, brain-computer interfaces, and psychotronic directed-energy weapons.
Directed-Energy Weapons Explained
Directed-energy weapons emit energy (like electromagnetics, microwaves, lasers, or particle beams) toward a target without using projectiles. These advanced weapons aim to hinder, damage, disable, or destroy targets, disrupt electronic devices, or cause physiological harm through precise, controllable impacts.
The Field of Psychotronics
Psychotronics examines the interplay between mind, body, and environment, focusing on matter, energy, and consciousness. Originating in 1960s Czechoslovakia from parapsychology, psychotronics now includes technology designed to influence thoughts, emotions, and mental states.
What Are Psychotronic Weapons?
When directed-energy weapons are aimed at the human cortex and nervous system, they are commonly called psychotronic directed-energy weapons. As the result of rapidly evolving advances in neuroscience and neurotechnology, this new class of weaponry is capable of remotely and covertly entering a person’s brain and body using technological means.
Psychotronic weapons are designed to manipulate or disrupt human cognition to influence thoughts, emotions, mental states, and even behaviors. These sophisticated weapons use directed energy (like electromagnetics, microwaves, sound waves, or radiofrequency) to achieve their mean.
Historical Development
Decades of research, particularly during the Cold War, have led to sophisticated psychotronic weapons. In her paper “On the Need for New Criteria of Diagnosis of Psychosis in the Light of Mind Invasive Technology”, psychoanalyst Carole Smith, a member of the Ethics Committee of the Institute of Psychotherapy and Social Studies in the UK, notes the roots of psychotronic weapons in the arms race between the Soviet Union and the West using satellite and radio technology to manipulate brain frequencies.
“We have failed to comprehend that the result of the technology that originated in the years of the arms race between the soviet Union and the West, has resulted in using satellite technology not only for surveillance and communication systems but also to lock on to human beings, manipulating brain frequencies by directing laser beams, neural-particle beams, electromagnetic radiation, sonar waves, radiofrequency radiation (RFR), soliton waves, torsion fields and by use of these or other energy fields which form the areas of study for astrophysics.”
Key Research Findings
In the 1960s, Dr. Allen Frey showed that radiation could penetrate the brain’s defenses and harm its functions, with microwaves inducing sensory perceptions. Subsequent studies echoed these findings, revealing the potential of microwaves to mimic or disrupt neural activity, thereby modifying perceptions and behaviors remotely.
In 1995, Dr. Michael Persinger from the Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, wrote in his article “On the Possibility of Directly Accessing Every Human Brain by Electromagnetic Induction of Algorithms” (1995) about the technological possibilities of influencing a significant part of this planet’s approximately eight billion people by generating electromagnetic induction of fundamental algorithms in the atmosphere. Dr Persinger’s work is referred to by Captain John Tyler, whose work for the American Air Force and Aerospace programs likens the human nervous system to a radio receiver (1990).
Accelerating Technological Change
Technological advancement is not linear but instead accelerating quasi-exponentially. According to futurist Ray Kurzweil, the equivalent of 4,000 years of progress at today’s rate will occur within our lifetime. This is to say that people today tend to believe what will be experiencing in our lifetime to only be possible thousands of years from now, discarding as science fiction the profound impact of technological advancement in all aspects of society.
It is crucial to take accelerating change into consideration in understanding the rapid evolution of mind-altering technology and psychotronic weapons and the emergence of the human brain as the new battlefield of the 21st century.

Applications of Psychotronic Weapons
Behavioral Modifications
Historical experiments like the CIA’s MK-ULTRA and the subsequent arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War were characterized by extensive research and development efforts aimed at mind manipulation and behavior modification.
Modern iterations exploit the human nervous system, which regulates essential life functions, processes sensory inputs, and facilitates vivid conscious experiences, making it a principal target for external influences.
Modern psychotronic weapons exploit the neuroplasticity of the nervous system, which allows the brain to adapt structurally in response to external stimuli, to manipulate perceptions and behaviors through induced neural changes and repeated exposure, respectively.
Intelligence
Neural Intelligence (NEURINT) represents a shift from traditional Signal Intelligence (SIGINT), which involves gathering intelligence through intercepting signals, whether communication between people or electronic signals emitted by hardware. NEURINT, however, takes this concept further by tapping directly into the source of all human-generated signals—the brain.
NEURINT technology manipulates electromagnetic frequencies to scan the electromagnetic activity surrounding the human brain to “read” thoughts. In this context “reading” isn’t about discerning thoughts verbatim but rather involves interpreting neural signals to understand individuals’ intentions, thoughts, emotional states, and potential decision-making processes.
This capability is invaluable for intelligence because it provides direct insights into what a person is communicating or doing and what they are thinking or planning—well before any physical actions are taken.
Covert Operations
Another direct aspect of mind-altering technology capabilities is behavioral modification, which extends the utility of these technologies into covert operations.
By influencing or altering an individual’s behavior, intelligence agencies can effectively orchestrate scenarios beneficial for national security, manipulate enemy operations from the inside, induce confessions or information leakage, or subtly destabilize adversarial groups.
Done covertly, this can significantly impact the outcome of diplomatic, military, and intelligence strategies without the visibility and political repercussions of conventional espionage tactics.
Psychological Warfare
The United States Department of Defense (DOD) has been using mind-altering technology for psychological warfare, including subliminal mind-altering technology during the Persian Gulf War. This strategy started with the destruction of Saddam Hussein’s military command-and-control system, which compelled Iraqi troops to rely on commercial FM radio stations for encoded commands.
Seizing this opportunity, the PsyOps team used the Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS) to speak directly to the minds of listeners to manipulate brainwave patterns and implant negative emotional states using subliminal carrier frequencies transmitted via standard radiofrequency broadcasts, targeting the subconscious minds of Iraqi soldiers, instilling fear and hopelessness, and reportedly causing the surrendering of countless Iraqi troops.
Cybertorture
Dr. Nils Melzer is the Special Rapporteur on Torture appointed by resolution 1985/33 of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. In his report dated February 28, 2020, Melzer contemplates an alarming development: cybertorture.
States, corporate actors, and organized criminals not only have the capacity to conduct cyber operations inflicting severe suffering on countless individuals, he says, but may well decide to do so for any of the purposes of torture “through the remote control and manipulation of medical implants, nanotechnological or neurotechnological devices … with vast power asymmetry, virtually guaranteed anonymity and almost complete impunity.”
In his report, Dr Nelzer cites Al Elmondi’s “Next-generation nonsurgical Neurotechnology,” published by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
This official warning underscores the pervasive presence of such technology, its use on the civilian population, and the critical necessity for informed advocacy to protect against such abuses.

Concerns Raised by Psychotronic Weapons
Invisible Threat
Despite decades of development and reported use of psychotronic weapons for both military and criminal activities, much of this technology is shrouded in secrecy, contributing to public skepticism and dismissals as conspiracy theories. This widespread denial undermines the informed society necessary to foster societal trust and demand adequate protective measures.
Regulatory Void
Michigan, Maine, and Massachusetts are the only states with legislation on psychotronic weapons. Michigan, for example, has integrated penalties into its penal code, including life in prison for causing harm using electronic devices emitting electromagnetic frequencies without parole for causing death with the same.
However, there is a regulatory void across the rest of the country at both the state and federal levels, raising concerns about protecting fundamental rights of the American people like free will, mental and bodily integrity, and personal autonomy and agency.
Human Rights Violations
Psychotronic technology directly threatens cognitive liberty and interferes with personal and mental autonomy, undermining the principles of free will and individual agency enshrined in international human rights treaties, including the right to freedom of thought recognized by Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
Constitutional Rights Violations
Psychotronic weapons constitute a significant threat to fundamental constitutional rights granted by the 1st Amendment for freedom of speech and expression, 4th Amendment for unreasonable search and seizure of person and property, 5th Amendment for self-incrimination, 8th Amendment for cruel and unjust punishment, 13th Amendment for unwilling servitude, 14th Amendment for bodily integrity.
