I think that a more insightful respondent to my enquiry might have
been able to discard any trivial interpretations allowed by its
generality and quite easily have identified those possibilities for
which the accurate answer is not trivial at all.

Of course I understand that the proven influence of, for example, tv
pictures on the human psyche falls within the broadest scope of my
question.

However, to use this as an excuse for simply ignoring other less
obvious possibilities implicit in the same question is not really what
I was looking for; i.e. neither intelligent, rational nor scientific
(is that Four?).

In the simplest terms, it appears that the electromagnetic field can
be manipulated in order to induce electrical currents in electrical
conductors. And human neurological tissue is a particular type of
electrical conductor.

And so, if it can be agreed that, according to the established
principles of scientific understanding, only way to establish the
extent to which the human neurological system might be manipulated
remotely using electromagnetic signals is by carrying out the
experimental investigations necessary to find out, then would you be
able to tell me if you know of any such investigations ever having
been carried out?

Remember I'm not asking whether or not it has been proved that people
can see tv pictures. I'm asking if anyone knows whether experiments
have ever been carried out to determine whether electromagnetic
signals, and particularly those using wavelengths outside the range of
visible light, can be used to influence the thought processes of
individuals, perhaps without their realising it?

And if not, why not?

(It might help if you try to imagine what you would have to do to
demonstrate that, to the best of our knowledge and ability, it is NOT
possible to achieve such a thing.)
