The regular treatment for schizophrenia uses the same surgical techniques . . . The electrodes cause no discomfort...

It was developed by the Signal Corps, is designed with a normally short range so that squad members can exchange information without fear of eavesdropping by the enemy. But with a "man-from-Mars" antenna attached on top of the helmet, soldiers can talk to, and receive orders from, command posts more than a mile away...
