It is therefore possible to manipulate the nervous system of a subject by pulsing images displayed on a nearby computer monitor or TV set. For the latter, the image pulsing may be imbedded in the program material, or it may be overlaid by modulating a video stream, either as an RF signal or as a video signal. The image displayed on a computer monitor may be pulsed effectively by a simple computer program. For certain monitors, pulsed electromagnetic ?elds capable of exciting sensory resonances in nearby subjects may be generated even as the displayed images are pulsed With subliminal intensity. 14 Claims, 9 Drawing Sheets
