The SFGate is reporting on a remote control for manipulating humans through electrical stimulation of the inner ear nerves. The author of this article describes his experience with having a “remote control for humans” device used on him. The developers hope to use this with video games and other entertainment, but it might also be used as a weapon to disable people. An interesting read with perhaps some disturbing implications. Better get a second layer on those tinfoil hats!
