I am submitting this request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to obtain clarification about whether any UK government departments, defence organisations, research laboratories, subcontracted institutions, universities, or police units are involved in research, testing, or operational activity related to technologies sometimes described publicly as psycho‑electric, electromagnetic, remote neural monitoring, neurological‑interference, or directed‑energy systems.

Over several years, I have interviewed more than 300 individuals from diverse backgrounds who report highly similar neurological, sensory, and physical symptoms. These symptoms appear artificial in nature and are consistent across many unrelated people. Because of the scale and consistency of these reports, I am seeking formal clarification from the relevant authorities.

I want to emphasise that this request does not accuse any organisation of wrongdoing. It is strictly a request for information under the FOI Act. I am attaching case studies, publicly available research patents, articles, and videos that describe technologies some individuals believe may be relevant. These materials are provided only for context.

Summary of Reported Symptoms
Cognitive / Mental
· Forced memory blanking

· Induced erroneous actions

· Perceived reading or broadcasting of thoughts

· Controlled dreams

· Forced waking visions, sometimes synchronised with body motion

Auditory / Sensory
· Sudden changes in hearing (direction, volume, or content)

· “Microwave hearing” sensations

· “Transparent eyelids” (seeing shapes through closed eyes)

· Artificial tinnitus

Physical Sensations
· Sudden violent itching inside eyelids

· Remotely induced itching without rash

· Needle‑like pains

Motor / Bodily Control
· Forced manipulation of airways

· Perceived externally controlled speech

· Forced jaw movement or teeth clacking

· Forced nudging of arms during delicate work

· Forced precision manipulation of hands

· Forced muscle quaking in back muscles

Cardiovascular / Bodily Responses
· Rapid heart rate without cause

Sensitive Areas

FOI Questions
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I respectfully request the following information:

2. If such research or testing exists, please provide:

o The name of the programme or project

o The responsible department or unit

o Any publicly available documentation, safety guidelines, or ethics oversight procedures

o The number of individuals involved

o The criteria for selection

o Any consent or safeguarding requirements

o Whether vulnerable groups (students, migrants, temporary workers) are included

4. Any publicly available patents, technical descriptions, or research documentation held by UK institutions relating to:

o electromagnetic stimulation technologies

o remote neural interaction systems

o psycho‑electric or neuro‑interference devices

o directed‑energy research

5. Any internal MOD, policing, or research‑institution policies relating to:
