    A Soviet device that bombards brains with low-frequency
    [Eleanor White's note:  More likely radio frequency carrier
    which is modulated or pulsed at brain-entrainment rates]
    radio waves may be a replacement for tranquilizers and their
    unwanted side effects, says a researcher, but it's use on
    humans poses ethical and political questions.

    The machine, known as the LIDA, is on loan to the Jerry L.
    Pettis Memorial Veterans Hospital through a medical exchange
    program between the Soviet Union and the United States.

    Hospital researchers have found in changes behaviour in
    animals.

    "It looks as though instead of taking a valium when you want
    to relax yourself it would be possible to achieve a similar
    result, probably in a safer way, by the use of a radio field
    that will relax you" said Dr. Ross Adey, chief of research
    at the hospital.
