But Saxe's lab, using a machine called a transcranial magnetic stimulator, which applies an electromagnetic pulse to a targeted point in the brain, can temporarily disable the function in the TPJ and change what people think about someone else's actions.
Other research presented at the meeting suggests that most devices do not affect the implants in a significant way, even if they sometimes produce electromagnetic interference in a laboratory test.
Early research involved a colleague lying in a deckchair in the night-time open air with a piece of string to measure the meteors, while he observed electromagnetic signals on a cathode-ray tube in a nearby hut.
An EMP attack can destroy a state's electromagnetic grid and thus take a 21st-century economy back to the pre-industrial era.
But how can anyone detect electromagnetic emission from a black hole if nothing escapes its gravity?
FORBES: Free-Floating, Nearby Black Holes Detectable By Decade's End, New Study Reports
The electromagnetic railgun is a long-range naval gun that will fire precision-guided hypervelocity projectiles to ranges greater than 200 nautical miles.
"If someone already has brain damage and then stimulates it with electromagnetic exposure from a cell phone, it could trigger something dangerous, " Volkow said.
But one of the American army's main areas of research is into devices that can shoot enough electromagnetic energy into a vehicle to shut off its engine.
Like its cousins radar and sonar, lidar (light detection and ranging), works by broadcasting electromagnetic waves towards a target and then building up a picture from the reflection.
By unleashing a massive pulse of electromagnetic radiation sweeping over the planet, a severe solar storm could potentially knock out the electric power grid, silence radio and satellite communications and disrupt GPS navigation systems.
Directed energy (DE) is an umbrella term covering technologies that produce a beam of concentrated electromagnetic energy or atomic or subatomic particles as a direct means to damage or destroy adversary equipment, facilities, and personnel.
This is a type of electromagnetic wave (ie, the same type of wave as a light wave).
Trying to shrink a traditional electromagnetic motor is tricky because the power of the motor fades as it gets smaller.
Today, our society is networked by the power grid, satellites and phone lines, all vulnerable to the impact of a large electromagnetic storm.
Large sun-grazing comets could bring on the sort of global electronics meltdown usually associated with electromagnetic pulse weapons or a full-scale nuclear exchange.
FORBES: Sun-Grazing Comets As Triggers For Electromagnetic Armageddon
Or so says David Eichler, lead author of a forthcoming Astrophysical Journal Letters paper positing that a sun-grazing comet roughly the size of Hale-Bopp (with a nucleus some 30 kms in diameter), could trigger cosmic ray-generating shockwaves large enough to initiate a global electromagnetic Armageddon.

Electronics is different, though, because every form of electromagnetic energy is manifested on a single spectrum and shares certain fundamental characteristics.
FORBES: Wave Of Consolidation May Be Coming In Military Electronics
If an aggressor launches a nuclear device of whatever size and detonates it above the atmosphere and in the line of site of its target country, the x-rays and gamma rays emitted by the blast will cause an electromagnetic pulse, or wave a million times stronger than the strongest radio wave.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: An urgent memo to the next government
However, because of a different system of electricity supply in the UK, electromagnetic fields are generally less intense, resulting in only a few children found to be exposed to levels greater than 0.2 micro-Tesla.
The highest electromagnetic radiation reading it found was a seventh of the internationally agreed safe limit.
From an engineering perspective, when it comes to making micro-machines, nanotechnology has a distinct advantage over electromagnetic motors.
The Electromagnetic Railgun (EMRG) is a high-risk, yet high-payoff technology that uses electricity rather than chemical propellants to launch projectiles.
Unlike other e-book devices, Samsung's E6 and E101 enables handwriting directly onto the display, allowing users to annotate their reading selections, calendars and to-do lists with a built-in electromagnetic resonance (EMR) stylus pen.
ENGADGET: Samsung announces E6 and E10 e-book readers at CES
Using a magnetic fluid and an electromagnetic charge, the Magnetic Ride Control monitors your driving and adjusts shock stiffness in mere milliseconds.
But thanks to mismanagement by the FCC, only a small slice of the electromagnetic spectrum is available for the flexible, exclusive licenses needed to provide cell phone service.
FORBES: Is Blocking Mobile Merger An "Assault on Innovation?"
Military planners understand the vulnerability of the grid to upset, but have been more concerned with man-made threats such as the electromagnetic pulse that would be generated by a high-altitude nuclear detonation.
FORBES: Intelligence Community Warns Solar Storms Could Collapse Electric Grid
The dual touch-sensitive jog wheels on the KONTROL S4 hardware offer extremely precise and responsive deck control due to a new patent-pending electromagnetic technology, complemented through Native Instruments' high-resolution NHL protocol that provides superior performance over conventional MIDI.
ENGADGET: Traktor Kontrol S4 hardware interface set to make the scene this winter
It took Mr Cundall a further eight years following the electromagnetic survey, to sign an actual contract to start digging for the planes.
Perhaps its greatest moment came in 1979 when it was the first telescope to observe a gravitational lens, an effect where a "massive" object bends electromagnetic radiation such as light around it.
To protect electronics infrastructure, entire systems must be encased in a metallic shield to prevent any external electromagnetic pulse from entering.
