Selected Patents

 * US3951134A. Apparatus and method for remotely monitoring and altering brain waves. 20 Apr. 1976, filed 5 Aug. 1974. Assigned to Dorne & Margolin Inc. "Apparatus for and method of sensing brain waves at a position remote from a subject whereby electromagnetic signals of different frequencies are simultaneously transmitted to the brain of the subject in which the signals interfere with one another to yield a waveform which is modulated by the subject's brain waves. The interference waveform which is representative of the brain wave activity is re-transmitted by the brain to a receiver where it is demodulated and amplified. The demodulated waveform is then displayed for visual viewing and routed to a computer for further processing and analysis. The demodulated waveform also can be used to produce a compensating signal which is transmitted back to the brain to effect a desired change in electrical activity therein." https://patents.google.com/patent/US3951134A/en
