About 35 years ago, I came across a claim by G. Harry Stine that a man had invented and patented an invention that acted as a really effective hearing aid, as it allows you to experience sound by an external excitation of the nervous system.
So I looked up the patent number (U. S. 3,647,970) and found a huge number of hits on Google. This reference - http://www.rexresearch.com/flanagan/neuroph.htm - has the more serious articles and the patent information.
The weird part is the number of web sites that claim that the neurophone (that's the name of the device) is being used as a means for the CIA/unknown governmental agencies to control selected persons by an equivalent to telepathy.
So, for fun and so on, have a look. You get the conspiracy sites by googling the patent number. And the device actually exists for sale. Who will be the first to buy one and report on the effect? (Assuming the CIA or whoever will let him.)
