Answer to Question #100272 in Electric Circuits for Val

Question

Would it be possible to set up a home or a room in a way the person living within would be remotely controlled electronically, without the use of biohacking per se? In other words, could one be controlled via electromagnetism where hardware equipment could be remotely controlled as to reorient the subject's movements slightly, and can regular PC hardware such as HDMI and USB+Micro chipset devices (unifying receivers, lan controllers...) be used remotely for the purpose of applying force to the point of influencing a human biologically speaking?

E.g. I plugged a chromecast into an hdmi port on my PC fo an hour and it is now the biggest magnet I have seen ever, anything metal sticks to it, and this has happened with various devices and i am exponentially feeling loss of control over my body movements, my arm will twitch or hit a cable repeatedly, oddities I am trying to explain without assuming an unlikely biohacking scenario (typical one).

Thanks!

Answer 1

What really can control people is different social and psychological phenomena (stress, pressure, manipulation, influence from more charismatic people, conformity and so on) and chemical substances which influence perception and behavior.

There is no evidence that people's actions can be controlled remotely like remote-controlled toys via electromagnetic radiation. Indeed, there are many cases when Neurophysiology achievements allowed scientists to look in some sense as people think and what they think, but they cannot make or force people to do something they don't want remotely.

At least someone needs to have physical access to people's heads to attach some sophisticated device that would send electrical signals to specific areas of the brain and can be controlled via mobile networks.
