bearORbullENIGMA Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 A US defense contractor, Sierra Nevada Corporation, claims to have developed a technology that allows sounds to be beamed directly into people's heads, according to New Scientist Magazine: "The device is aimed for military or crowd-control applications, but may have other uses." "The device – dubbed MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio) – exploits the microwave audio effect, in which short microwave pulses rapidly heat tissue, causing a shockwave inside the skull that can be detected by the ears. A series of pulses can be transmitted to produce recognisable sounds." http://technology.newscientist.com/article...with-noise.html http://technology.newscientist.com/article/dn13513 I wonder if it's going to be part of “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded” that 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team is supposed to have at their disposal during their newly assigned dedicated NorthCom deployment, incorporating possible 'civil unrest and crowd control' assignments. http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/09/army_homeland_090708w/ Either way, let's hope they have it fully functioning before the up & coming economic collapse, so that if we decide to protest, they can more easily quell freedom & democracy & maintain the apparatus that protects the rich elites.

Fully Detached Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 A mattress on your head? In a protest/possible riot situation?Double or King Size? Either - but make sure it's memory foam. You get a much more comfortable rioting experience with memory foam, and have a good chance of reaching the police station feeling refreshed and ready to start a new day.

Guest portwinestain Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2007/dec/10/2 Whispering glass "I was walking to meet a friend for dinner," says Janie Marshall, 28, "when I heard a whispered woman's voice saying 'it's not your imagination, who's there? who's there?' It sounded like it was in my head. It was quiet and snowing so it was really spooky. I looked into the trees but I couldn't see where it was coming from." What Marshall heard while walking past the Gothic St Paul's Church in NoLita, downtown Manhattan, was not a ghost (or the voice of God). High on a roof, above a giant billboard for a TV programme called Paranormal State, sit two black boxes, pointed at the ground. They are ultrasonic generators that send sound in a concentrated beam to a very specific spot. When a luckless pedestrian walks under that beam they can suddenly hear voices so clearly that it feels like they're coming from within. The whispering is to promote the TV programme, a reality offering about occult research. Despite the fact that the billboard has the line, "It's not your imagination", written across it, few who hear the eerie whispers make the connection, especially when walking with their backs to the poster. Reactions range from a perplexed "what's that?" to angry mutterings. Not to mention the level of confusion it caused one luckless labrador. "I think it would be cool if it was art," says Marshall, "but not as advertising. What if they put them on every block? It's scary to think someone might be whispering 'just do it' or 'buy Diet Coke' into your head." "It's very invasive," says Michael Hyman, professor of marketing at New Mexico State University. "I think my concern would be that you have no option to escape this - you have no control." "You're living in New York City. There's a lot of sound you can't control," counters JP Freeley, whose company Blue Blast Media is responsible for the ultrasonic technology's use in advertising. "The beautiful thing about this is that it doesn't blast the sound across the whole neighbourhood. It's very focused. If people really don't want to hear it they can walk on the other side of the street." Freeley admits there is a lot of interest in using the equipment for other adverts, but won't discuss the potential effects for those with mental health issues. "I can imagine that this, especially while it's new and unknown, would cause suffering to someone susceptible," says Hyman of the ethical dilemma. "I would hope a more enlightened government might legislate." .............................
