Patrick Flanagan and the Neurophone

 In the early days of my victimization my researches led me to the tale of the 1960's then youthful inventor Patrick Flanagan and his invention the neurophone.  I have since then always wondered about the significance of his role in the early development of synthetic telepathy. A link to a 1995 article written by him was offered up in a recent conference call chat. It is noteworthy that the transmissions he reported did not involve dangerous high powered microwaves. Only simple radio frequencies and skin conduction. And brillo pads.

The Life magazine article he referred to in the document did exist. I obtained a photocopy of it quite a few years ago.  There is a scan of it at his web site (still up) at

After such a promising start Dr. Flanagan later became a proponent of pyramid power (something more questionable) and wrote a book on it with that title ("Pyramid Power").  He became a bit of a snake oil salesman and never quite matched his early glory, touting various chemical health elixers, the sale of which drew threatened sanctions from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  He died in 2019.

Let us resurrect  Dr. Flanagan for a little while to explain how his neurophone came to be in this 2005 YouTube video:

I came across this page of technical information on the neurophone:

Evidently someone did find a way to make all of this transmission wireless.

Flanagan was living in Ecuador at the time of his death. Was this a normal choice or did he have to flee the country?  Is it possible that he became a TI, given the nature of his discoveries?  Did he flee to protect his brain, or to escape amoral forces then operant in the United States?  Or was it that he was attracted to Vilcabamba and its Valley of Longevity, given his interest in and quest for a fountain of youth?  He was in Loja  province where Vilcabamba is, indicating that the latter was a definite factor.  At any rate he died at a fairly conventional age of 75, due to complications of a fall and subsequent infection.

A Flanagan interview by radio host Jeff Rense uploaded to YouTube 2013, indicating that Flanagan was fully aware of the implications of new technology. Discussion of the Lilly Wave:
