A Campaign of Cognitive Freedom Coalition

Neuro Frequency
Investigation Initiative

We are calling on independent researchers and engineers to investigate reports of non-consensual electromagnetic exposure and establish what the evidence supports.

NFII brings together questions spanning bioelectromagnetics, neuroscience, RF engineering, and neurotechnology: what effects are physically possible, how reported experiences can be investigated, and what findings would establish or rule out a proposed explanation.

We seek rigorous investigation, transparent methods, and publication of results regardless of outcome.

01 / the Moment

The Window Is Open Now

The Regulatory Window

The FCC Is Seeking Scientific Evidence

The FCC has opened a comment process on specified RF exposure issues following a court remand. The notice emphasizes methodological rigor, exposure measurement, replication, and the quality of evidence. Comments are due October 22, 2026, in ET Docket 13-84. [1]

This is a concrete opportunity for qualified researchers to put relevant evidence into the public record.

Intelligence and Oversight

The AHI Assessments Were Recalled

A July 2026 statement by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford confirms that the Intelligence Community Assessments on anomalous health incidents were recalled in June. Crawford attributed the recall to concerns about the handling of intelligence. The recall reopens questions; it does not establish a cause or an operator. [2]

An Investigative Focus

Directed Energy Bioeffects Remain Under Examination

Reporting in July 2026 described the Pentagon's AHI investigative team being renamed the Multifunctional Team on Directed Energy Bioeffects. That reported change concerns the team's focus. Separately, the 2022 intelligence experts panel identified pulsed RF as a plausible mechanism for a subset of AHI characteristics, with information gaps and without assessing attribution. [3] [4]

Historical Accountability

Congress Is Still Examining MKUltra

On June 30, 2026, a House Oversight task force held a hearing on MKUltra and accountability. More than fifty years after the destruction of many of the program's records, its history remains a subject of congressional scrutiny. [5] [6]

This is the moment to conduct real investigation. While the questions are open, independent scientific work can help establish a record that the public can examine.

02 / Our Position

What We Believe Is Happening

We believe radiofrequency and electromagnetic energy is being used on human beings without consent, in ways that are not fully characterized, at a scale that is not fully known, and under legal and regulatory frameworks that were not designed for it.

That belief is the starting point for the questions we are asking. The reasons we seek investigation include:

  • Reports of harm. People describe auditory phenomena, apparent neural monitoring, directed physical sensations, and sleep disruption. Their accounts are reports to investigate, with the cause of each experience still to be established.
  • Documented bioeffects and research. The microwave auditory effect, Active Denial Technology, neural interfaces, and neuromodulation provide concrete subjects for scientific examination. Each has its own mechanisms, conditions, and limits. [7] [8] [9]
  • An open regulatory process. Qualified researchers have an opportunity to address specific RF exposure questions with evidence. [1]
  • Documented historical abuses. Non-consensual experimentation and surveillance programs are part of the public record. That history makes consent, independent scrutiny, and preservation of evidence essential. [6]

We do not claim to know the full scope. We do not claim to have established operational attribution for any specific case. We believe these reports and questions warrant a serious public-health and human-rights research effort.

03 / the Stakes

Why This Is Urgent

Scientific Progress Needs Public Accountability

Research into neural recording, stimulation, and brain-computer interfaces raises consequential questions about mental privacy and informed consent. DARPA's N3 program, for example, pursued wearable interfaces using several different physical approaches. Its stated objectives are a reason to examine technical possibilities and safeguards carefully. [9]

The human stakes also matter. Accounts of distress and disrupted lives deserve careful documentation, appropriate care, and investigation that can evaluate competing explanations.

The regulatory moment gives this work an immediate destination. The historical record gives it a reason to insist on transparency. The people conducting the research should be independent, and the results should be available for scrutiny.

04 / the Scientific Work

What We Are Asking Researchers to Do

  1. Investigate Non-Thermal Effects

    Identify effects that can be reproduced under specified exposure conditions. Measure temperature, characterize dosimetry, distinguish biological changes from adverse health effects, and test competing explanations.

  2. Establish the Physical Limits

    What can directed auditory and neurological effects actually produce? Under what waveforms, power levels, distances, and conditions? Establish the boundaries with measurements.

  3. Assess Neural Monitoring and Neuromodulation

    What equipment and physical coupling does a proposed system require? What can existing methods demonstrate? What additional evidence would be needed to connect a mechanism to a particular report?

  4. Develop Protocols for Individual Case Investigation

    Define the instruments, controls, baselines, blinding, and clinical evaluation needed to examine specific reports rigorously, with informed consent and participant protection.

  5. Publish Results Regardless of Outcome

    Positive, negative, and inconclusive findings all belong in the record. Publish the methods, uncertainties, and limits so others can assess and replicate the work.

05 / the People

Expertise Across Disciplines

We are especially interested in bioelectromagnetics, RF and microwave bioeffects, neural engineering, neuromodulation, neurophysiology, and RF dosimetry. The wider investigation also needs expertise from:

  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Electromagnetics and RF
  • Bioelectromagnetics
  • Biophysics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Brain Stimulation
  • Sleep and Cognition
  • Measurement and Physics
  • Study Design
  • Ethics, Rights, and Governance

The contribution should fit the professional's actual work. A technical critique, a measurement method, a relevant publication, or a carefully bounded research question can each move the investigation forward.

06 / the Public Good

The Good Guys Need to Be the Ones Who Do This

We are asking independent, credentialed, methodologically rigorous researchers, people who care about the integrity of their fields and the welfare of the public, to help establish the record.

Not because they believe the testimony. Because they believe the questions deserve answers.

When a proposed explanation fails a well-designed test, that finding is useful. When a reproducible effect is established, that finding is useful. When a result remains inconclusive, its limits should be made clear. The value comes from the quality and honesty of the work.

What Would Change Our Mind

Reliable, reproducible evidence can strengthen, narrow, or overturn a hypothesis. Null results are a valid and welcome outcome. An unexplained observation remains an open question until evidence supports an explanation.

We are not asking for endorsement of a particular narrative, validation of an individual claim without evidence, or suspension of scientific standards. We are asking for their application.

07 / Take Part

Help Establish the Record

Researchers and engineers can contribute by reviewing the questions, identifying relevant findings, proposing investigation methods, or assessing a specific technical claim. Ethics and governance specialists can help establish the protections this work requires.

Contributing expertise does not require agreement with every campaign position. Public attribution and directory inclusion will require the contributor's permission.

NFII plans to publish participating researchers' agreed contributions, including protocols, findings, and commentary. As the initiative develops, its progress should be visible and its claims open to correction.
