Binhi (physics, General Physics Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences) explores the possibility of electromagnetic mind control. He defines the term, provides a historical overview of the development of the concept in the US and Russia, and discusses known methods of extracting information about brain processes and delivering information into the brain, by exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiation, including functional MRI, brain wave monitoring, and magnetoencephalography. He examines the scientific grounds for possible mind control, including the biological and neurological effects of radiation; the technical grounds of molecular and subcellular mechanisms validating the effects of weak electromagnetic fields; the technical limitations of targeted exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiation; and what is possible and not possible in the area of mind control, including the impossibility of mind reading.
