“Much more effective mood alteration techniques were later found. One method that was effective, was achieved in the 1960’s and 1970’s with low-level microwaves.”
No actual documentation of that as far as I know. Just the usual conspiracy theories.
“Furthermore, check the (presumably personally-experienced) posts of jsanders2001.”
I don’t buy into anonymous internet anecdotes as evidence.
I have referenced three scientific, peer-reviewed articles on this. See the original article for same. Those are just a handful of over 30 similar papers.
treatment. The symptoms and signs commonly described in the Soviet and other studies include headache, increased fatigability, increased irritability, dizziness, loss of appetite, sleepiness, sweating, difficulties in concentration or memory, depression, emotional instability, dermographism, thyroid gland enlargement and tremor of extended fingers. They are regarded as typical microwave-induced functional disturbances of the central nervous system and are called the neurasthenic or asthenic syndrome (the term "neurasthenia" originated in the USA a century ago but has been almost obsolete in this country for some decades (31)). Another frequently described manifestation of microwave irradiation is a set of labile functional cardiovascular changes including bradycardia (or occasional tachycardia), arterial hypotension (or hypertension) and changes in cardiac conduction. This form of neurocirculatory asthenia or vagotonic reaction, known as the vegetative dystonia or autonomic dystonia syndrome, is attributed to neural influence mainly from the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. A third group of findings, more serious but less frequent than the others, includes hallucinations, insomnia, syncope and inhibition of visceral functions; it also is associated with microwave exposure and is called the diencephalic syndrome.
