Military Researching Amnesia "Weapons"

[Tuckerfan]

1-2-3-4, what’re we fighting for?

Retrograde amnesia was demonstrated for the 80-, 85-, and 100-V foot-shock test trials. At 40 V the voltage may not have been great enough to be felt by the subject. For groups examined at shock levels above 100 V, the foot shock was so potent that a photoflash was ineffective in producing RA. Our conclusion was that the photoflash was an effective amnesiac until the intensity of the foot shock became more potent than the photoflash; this is consistent with the recency theory generated in serial learning and memory tasks.

This might help explain some of the disorienting effects of strobe lights used as nonlethal weapons, but there seems to have been little further research on this.

However, there have been plenty of studies on the physical effects of radio and microwave exposure on the brain. Many of those investigations have been conducted by the military.

Kind of reminds me of the movie Looker, more than it does Men in Black.

Yeah, I remember reading something about these in the Airpower Journal, but I can’t remember what issue I saw it in.

I’ll see if I can’t dig up the link. . . if I still have it.

:eek:! Powerful stuff…

Hmm, apparently the weapon is now operational.

No it isn’t.

The engineers and technicians keep forgetting how to build them, for some reason.

[Marley23]

I think it’s a bad idea for the military to employ farce-based technology.

Its’ like a 1920’s style… something.

Dang it. I forget. On the tip of my tongue…
