Khaberni - The conversation about a peculiar American patent has come to the fore again after its spread on social media, claiming the ability to affect the human mind and body through TV screens and computer devices.
The patent, according to the "Daily Mail", is titled "Manipulation of the nervous system by electromagnetic fields from screens", and was submitted by physicist Hendricus G. Loos in 2001.
According to the document, the weak electromagnetic fields emitted from screens, especially old CRT monitors, can produce physiological effects on humans, which includes stimulating the skin and modulating the activity of the nervous system.
The patent indicates the possibility of incorporating electromagnetic pulses into the video content itself, so that they operate covertly without the viewer's awareness.
The accompanying diagrams in the patent show that the effect of these pulses includes generating small electrical currents that affect the release of neural signals, which may alter an individual's perception and physical responses unwittingly.
Although the idea has sparked a wave of conspiracy theories online, technology and physics experts indicate that modern LED screens have less impact compared to old screens, which reduces the likelihood of the technology functioning as described in the patent without advanced technical modifications.
Loos, who died in 2017, presented several similar patents related to the effects of electromagnetic fields on the nervous system, and previously worked with NASA on studies of cloud physics and microgravity environments, which explains his interest in the complex physical aspects of frequencies and pulses.
Despite all this, the patent has reignited controversy around mind control programs, amidst previous statements from American officials and declassified files, and recent accusations of digital experiments similar to those during the MKUltra mind control program in the Cold War.
The question remains: Can TV screens and computer devices become tools to influence the human mind, or will the idea remain just a theoretical concept that has not been scientifically proven to be effective to date?
