The brains of 40 former staffers at the US Embassy in Cuba who developed mysterious symptoms during so-called “sonic attacks” have visible differences compared to a control group, according to a new study.
The State Department has said the employees developed what became known as “Havana Syndrome” – headaches, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms that arose when they heard penetrating, high-pitched sounds.
MRI scans from the 23 men and 17 women showed changes in brain structure and functional connectivity between different parts of the organ compared with 48 other adults, according to the study by the University of Pennsylvania.

90% of the State Dept. have defective brains.
This should bring some response from the US, too bad our spooks are too corrupt to wage war on anyone but Trump and us deplorables.
Electronic warfare, nothing less.
Was it Cuba? Hard to imagine they have the technological capability to do something like that.
Maybe it was Russia or China operating in Cuba.
This is super creepy
Might be the negative effects of booze
Look at post 5.
How “Hi-Tech” do you have to be to build such a device? The effects of high-frequency noise have been written about and supposedly the US and other countries have fielded sonic weapons for crowd control. The knowledge is out there.
Exactly. But nothing, just crickets.
The sad thing is State has 15,000 authorized commissioned officers and specialists and they get no VA Care or Disability.
Do not panic. Think only of yourself.
Keep in mind, you don’t know what you don’t know.
The very assumption you know is presumptious
It smells like Russians to me. They have been doing goofy experiments on humans for decades. In the early ‘70’s, they reportedly grafted gills onto men to see if they could breathe under water. And the CIA has been experimenting with sonic weapons forever and a day. Not to mention DARPA. So the likelihood that the symptoms are psychosomatic are about zero.
High frequency sounds caused organic changes? I can’t even hear them; too old. Resonance maybe, over a long period of exposure—but lower frequencies do the heavy lifting.
I’d look into water or ventilation.
“The sad thing is State has 15,000 authorized commissioned officers and specialists and they get no VA Care or Disability.”
They may not get VA care but they are covered under the insurance plan every other Federal employee gets should they choose to take it. Disability insurance is also offered should they choose to take that. They are also covered under Workman’s Comp as far as I know.
So I’ll save my sadness for actual veterans.
But that’s just me.

Yeah, I’d be surprised if a “sonic attack” were the cause.
