Reception of microwaves by the brain.
The question of how pulsed microwaves induce auditory effects in animals and man leads to an examination of the parameters which determine the frequencies of maximum reception by the skull, and the positions of maximum energy deposition within the brain. The interaction of microwaves with a nerve membrane model and with live nerve cells is also discussed, as well as planned experiments to determine the microwave properties of membranes.
