Allan H. Frey is a biologist known for his research into the effects of microwave radiation on the human body. Since 1960, he has worked on both classified and unclassified [Department of Defense](/organizations/department-of-defense/) contracts, including those with the [Office of Naval Research](/organizations/office-of-naval-research/) and the [U.S. Army](/organizations/us-army/)[^1].

In 1961, Frey discovered a radical new technology, later termed [Synthetic Telepathy](/concepts/synthetic-telepathy/), where a microwave input signal allowed the brain to perceive a message as a voice transmission, even though it was a microwave beam. He posited that living organisms are "complex electrochemical systems that evolved over billions of years in a world with a relatively simple weak magnetic field." His work focused on understanding the effects of electromagnetic energy on biological systems, noting that the world now "glows with electromagnetic (em) energy emissions"[^1].

Frey criticized the "glib assumptions that government scientists had a complete understanding of the nervous system function," arguing that such assumptions were wrong and led to misunderstandings in the field[^1]. He also highlighted the issue of atrocious translations in Russian papers on this subject, which often led to their rejection as "uninterpretable"[^1].

His research added further resonance to the mysterious links between [ESP](/concepts/extrasensory-perception/), [PK](/concepts/psychokinesis/), and Electromagnetic Weapons, which were actively studied by the [Russians](/places/soviet-union/). In the late 1960s, Frey reported that he could speed up, slow down, or stop an excised frog heart by synchronizing the pulse rate of a microwave beam with the heart itself, an experiment that echoed what [Ninel Kulagina](/people/ninel-kulagina/) was reported to have done with her mind[^1].
