The hearing apparatus commonly responds to airborne or bone-conducted acoustic or sound pressure waves in the audible frequency range. But the hearing of microwave pulses involves electromagnetic waves whose frequency ranges from hundreds of MHz to tens of GHz. Since electromagnetic waves (e.g., light) are seen but not heard, the report of auditory perception of microwave pulses was at once astonishing and intriguing. Moreover, it stood in sharp contrast to the responses associated with continuous-wave microwave radiation. Experimental and theoretical studies have shown that the microwave auditory phenomenon does not arise from an interaction of microwave pulses directly with the auditory nerves or neurons along the auditory neurophysiological pathways of the central nervous system. Instead, the microwave pulse, upon absorption b[...x]<\/span>
y soft tissues in the head, launches a thermoelastic wave of acoustic pressure that travels by bone conduction to the inner ear. There, it activates the cochlear receptors via the same process involved for normal hearing. Aside from tissue heating, microwave auditory effect is the most widely accepted biological effect of microwave radiation with a known mechanism of interaction: the thermoelastic theory. The phenomenon, mechanism, power requirement, pressure amplitude, and auditory thresholds of microwave hearing are discussed in this paper. A specific emphasis is placed on human exposures to wireless communication fields and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The microwave auditory effect<\/strong>, also known as the microwave hearing effect<\/strong> or the Frey effect<\/strong>, consists of the human perception of audible clicks, or even speech, induced by pulsed or modulated radio frequencies. The communications are generated directly inside the human head without the need of any receiving electronic device. The effect was first reported by persons working in the vicinity of radartransponders during World War II. In 1961, the Americanneuroscientist Allan H. Frey studied this phenomenon and was the first to publish information on the nature of the microwave auditory effect.[1][2]<\/sup> The cause is thought to be thermoelastic expansion of portions of the auditory apparatus,[3]<\/sup> although competing theories explain the results of holographic interferometry tests differently.[4]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neuromodulation<\/strong> is “the alteration of nerve activity through targeted delivery of a stimulus, such as electrical stimulation or chemical agents, to specific neurological sites in the body”. It is carried out to normalize \u2013 or modulate \u2013 nervous tissue function. Neuromodulation is an evolving therapy that can involve a range of electromagnetic stimuli such as a magnetic field (rTMS), an electric current, or a drug instilled directly in the subdural space (intrathecal drug delivery). Emerging applications involve targeted introduction of genes or gene regulators and light (optogenetics), and by 2014, these had been at minimum demonstrated in mammalian models, or first-in-human data had been acquired.[1]<\/sup> The most clinical experience has been with electrical stimulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of radiofrequency radiation on reproductive health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rajeev Singh, Ravindra Nath, […], and Radhey Shyam Sharma <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong> Available data indicate that exposure to EMF can cause adverse health effects. It is also reported that biological effects may occur at very low levels of exposure. The RFR effect can be more intensified based on the range and duration of the exposure. The RFR can also exert adverse effects in the first few minutes. Persistent exposures of EMF radiation can result in health hazards because these radiations interfere with normal physiological and biological function of the body. EMF works as an environmental pollutant and has undesirable health effects on animals and humans. Several developed countries have already established health-based guidelines for exposure level for their countries. India has also developed health-based guidelines for exposure level of RFR from cell phones and cell phone base stations, but given the difference in environmental conditions, and lower muscle contents, bone mineral density, fat content, etc<\/em>., of Indians than the people of developed nations, there is a need to have a mid-course correction in the existing exposure limit of RFR in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effect of mobile phone electromagnetic fields on the alpha rhythm of human electroencephalogram<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

R J Croft et al. Bioelectromagnetics. 2008 Jan. Abstract<\/strong> Mobile phones (MP) emit low-level electromagnetic fields that have been reported to affect neural function in humans; however, demonstrations of such effects have not been conclusive. The purpose of the present study was to test one of the strongest findings in the literature; that of increased “alpha” power in response to MP-type radiation. Healthy participants (N = 120) were tested using a double-blind counterbalanced crossover design, with each receiving a 30-min Active and a 30-min Sham Exposure 1 week apart, while electroencephalogram (EEG) data were recorded. Resting alpha power (8-12 Hz) was then derived as a function of time, for periods both during and following exposure. Non-parametric analyses were employed as data could not be normalized. Previous reports of an overall alpha power enhancement during the MP exposure were confirmed (relative to Sham), with this effect larger at ipsilateral than contralateral sites over posterior regions. No overall change to alpha power was observed following exposure cessation; however, there was less alpha power contralateral to the exposure source during this period (relative to ipsilateral). Employing a strong methodology, the current findings support previous research that has reported an effect of MP exposure on EEG alpha power.(c) 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      WorldViews Russian official wants to investigate whether U.S. moon landings actually happened<\/strong> By Rick NoackJune 17, 2015 In an op-ed published by Russian newspaper Izvestia on Tuesday, Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the government’s official Investigative Committee, argued that such an investigation could reveal new insights into the historical space journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      “We are not contending that they did not fly [to the moon], and simply made a film about it. But all of these scientific \u2014 or perhaps cultural \u2014 artifacts are part of the legacy of humanity, and their disappearance without a trace is our common loss. An investigation will reveal what happened,” Markin wrote, according to the Moscow Times translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The op-ed is unlikely to raise worries among NASA officials. In 2009, NASA itself admitted that it had erased the original video recordings of the first moon landing among 200,000 other tapes in order to save money, according to Reuters. However, NASA has since restored copies of the landing, using recordings from other sources such as CBS News. The organization says that due to restoration efforts, the recordings’ quality is superior to the original one that has gone missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Stock does not give figures about Interpol\u2019s tools being misused against political opponents and refugees but he insists that these notices are a \u201csmall number of cases\u201d compared with the \u201coverwhelming majority\u201d of legitimate ones. However, even his rough estimate of no more than 5% of notices being improperly applied each year could mean hundreds of potentially wrongful arrest requests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Chinese govt a monster that eats its children: Ex-Interpol president’s wife<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      From being an insider, Grace Meng, wife of former Interpol president Meng Hongwei, has become an outsider looking in \u2014 and says she is horrified by what she sees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Associated Press Lyon November 18, 2021 UPDATED: November 18, 2021 14:18 IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But Meng Hongwei, the former Interpol president, has now vanished into China\u2019s sprawling penal system, purged in a stunning fall from grace. And his wife is alone with their twin boys in France, a political refugee under round-the-clock French police protection following what she suspects was an attempt by Chinese agents to kidnap and deliver them to an uncertain fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So much so that she is now shedding her anonymity, potentially putting herself and her family at additional risk, to speak out against China\u2019s authoritarian government that her husband \u2014 a vice minister of public security \u2014 served before disappearing in 2018. He was later tried and imprisoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThe monster\u201d is how Meng now speaks of the government he worked for. \u201cBecause they eat their children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Meng chose for the first time to show her face, agreeing to be filmed and photographed without the dark lighting and from-the-back camera angles that she previously insisted on, so she could speak openly and in unprecedented detail about her husband, herself and the cataclysm that tore them apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cIt\u2019s a fake case. It\u2019s an example of a political disagreement being turned into a criminal affair,\u201d she said. \u201cThe extent of corruption in China today is extremely serious. It\u2019s everywhere. But there are two different opinions about how to solve corruption. One is the method used now. The other is to move toward constitutional democracy, to solve the problem at its roots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Grace Meng also has political connections through her own family. Her mother served on an advisory body to the Chinese legislature. And the family has previous experience of political trauma. After the Communist takeover in 1949, Grace Meng\u2019s grandfather was stripped of his business assets and later imprisoned in a labour camp, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      History, she says, is repeating itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cOf course, this is a great tragedy in our family, a source of great suffering,\u201d she told the AP. \u201cBut I also know that very many families in China today are facing a similar fate to mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
