Auditory responses to transmitted frequencies from approximately 200\u00a0MHz to at least 3\u00a0GHz have been reported. The cause is thought to be thermoelastic expansion of portions of auditory apparatus, and the generally accepted mechanism is rapid (but minuscule, in the range of 10<sup>\u22125<\/sup>\u00a0\u00b0C) heating of brain by each pulse, and the resulting pressure wave traveling through the skull to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cochlea\">cochlea<\/a>.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Microwave_auditory_effect#cite_note-Kitchen2001-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup><br>In 1975, an article by neuropsychologist Don Justesen discussing radiation effects on human perception referred to an experiment by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joseph_C._Sharp\">Joseph C.
