Defense Tech: Air Force Plan: Hack Your Nervous System:
"This is the first of a two-part series on plasma and electromagnetic weapons by David Hambling, author of Weapons Grade: How Modern Warfare Gave Birth to Our High-Tech World.

'Controlled Effects' ... is one of the Air Force's ambitious long-term challenges.

By studying and modeling the human brain and nervous system, the ability to mentally influence or confuse personnel is also possible.'
The first stage is technology to 'remotely create physical sensations.' They give the example of the Active Denial System 'people zapper' which uses a high-frequency radiation similar to microwaves as a non-lethal means of crowd control."
Well, let's hope everyone has a clear picture of who the enemy is.
