| Summary | Remote neural monitoring (RNM) is the alleged ability to monitor or read a person's brain activity from a distance, often used in conjunction with V2K. Proponents claim that intelligence agencies can access thoughts, emotions, and even memories without physical contact. This is often cited as a method of harassment or control. |
| Origin | The concept of remote neural monitoring has roots in Cold War-era research on telepathy and mind control, but gained prominence in the 1990s and 2000s within the 'targeted individual' community. |
| Claimed |
|
| Evidence / consensus | There is no scientific evidence that remote neural monitoring is possible. Brain-computer interfaces require direct contact or very close proximity, and there is no known technology that can read thoughts from a distance. The patent application is not evidence of a working system. |
