"Physiological effects have been observed..."
is a long, long way from

Suddenly I feel really good about replacing my old CRT with an LCD monitor.

Patented ideas don't always work. Pet peeve: "m'kay" is unpleasant to listen to, and infuriating to read. (see /m6) |

The patent office is, sadly, become famously incompetent at winnowing out things that cannot work -- there's at least one "free energy" machine patented at present, amongst many other bits of BS. This particular bit of BS is not only BS, it's old. Ignore the BS, watch for real problems -- there's plenty of them.

This tidbit is taken a bit out of context. In saying that such electromagnetic pulses are capable of affecting the nervous system, this patent applicant is referring simply to the actual palpable sensation that results from said stimulation. Sure, I acknowledge that mind control is just a few words away in some future patent, but hell, don't be upset at this guy (I've actually already heard of a design employing this concept: an 'electronic sex suit' that could provide long-distance sexual stimulation to the wearer by emitting controlled pulses of varying frequency EM energy, causing a sensation of contact or pressure). Welcome the future, y'all

I don't know if people really get the full impact of this: LIGHT is an electromagnetic field. There is already considerable discussion of video raster frequencies affecting the mind. The classic "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" claimed that the raster frequency of NTSC TV causes a state of exceptional suggestibility. Roger Ebert makes similar claims about TV, and compares it to the fps rate of film, which he says puts you in a more contemplative state.
The psychoactive effect of CRT rasters can easily be seen if you set your computer monitor to a low rate, some people (like me) get blinding headaches from the flickering. This is also a huge problem with simulators, you can get bad "simulator sickness" if the systems aren't set up right (or even if the ARE). I'm working with some people developing a high-rez laser projector for cinemas, it can do 4000 lines at insanely high refresh rates like 200hz, but they're afraid to crank up to higher hz, for fear of causing some bizzare reaction from prolonged viewing.

I am EJ. I have been in a cybercult for about 3 years now. Myself being the human test subject. The technology of simulated-telepathy is late 20th science. The catch is, I want out and "they" will not stop.

A recent issue of Mosaic, the magazine of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, featured a profile of entrepreneur, philanthropist and visionary Gary Winnick in its recent issue. The article highlights Mr. Winnick's career in the communications, financial and environmentally friendly concrete industries -- in addition to celebrating his substantial contributions to Los Angeles, the United States and international charitable causes. |
