Somebody who is clearly intelligent and educated and works for a embassy in Cuba hears a noise in the middle of the night and develops symptoms with hearing loss and dizziness and ringing in the ears and believes that they have been targeted by some sort of weapon, which was actually perfectly reasonable in some regards because the embassy had been closed in Cuba for a long time.

Exactly. I think the sort of Russian spies, I don't have the terminology for all of this stuff, but they do have a reputation for going into people's houses, moving things around to mess with people's heads and so forth. I mean, it was perfectly reasonable for this person to think that something had happened to them.

The difficulty again was the idea that there was such a thing as a sonic weapon took off within the embassy community. It's exactly where these mass psychogenic illnesses happen in these contained communities, potentially under threat that are quite insular. So people really began to believe in this concept that there could be a sonic weapon that were being directed at individuals.

The problem is that scientifically it makes no sense because sound doesn't damage the brain in that way. You know, if you've got a big explosion that's big enough for everyone to hear it and to displace your whole body, well then sure, your brain could be damaged and so could the rest of your body. But sound cannot be directed at a brain to damage it.
