I am OVER REFERENCING my reply because I am aware that many people in the
scientific disciplines are not aware or well informed on this subject...

ELF can not be directly transmitted in any practical way because at 10 Hz
(alpha) your antenna would have to be 30000000 meters long, just about from
here to the moon. An antenna of this size is being built by US Naval
Intelligence in Alaska at this time, however, but I doubt they are going to
lend it to us for casual research.
The animal (including human) brain is indeed directly affected by
electromagnetic waves to the extent that production of alpha or theta waves
can be directly induced into the brain by carrying an ELF (5-12 Hz) signal
on a microwave carrier frequency - which is the summary of all of the above
references.
A fair amount of reseach has shown that, as you may note the reference
above to 60Hz electromagnetic fields affecting baboon behavior, 60 Hz EMF
directly affects brain wave function. At 60 Hz, which we are chronically
exposed to every day from electricity, this causes extreme agitation, among
other things. This has become, in fact, a health concern issue and is
currently being studied globally.
On the other hand, direct induction of alpha and theta states has been
demonstrated via EMF and has been experimented with for several decades
now. In fact, the above reference to the CIA program of research amounted
to an accusation or suspicion on behalf of the US Senate that the CIA might
be experimenting or utilizing this technology to some unsavory end - these
are all officially transcripted materials by the US Senate. However, as a
clinical application perhaps to induce relaxation, control anxiety, etc.
such devices are already commercially available...
