The theory: the buzzes, lights or other indicators of biofeedback machines instantly report the body's reaction to thoughts or feelings.

Equipped with turbine engines and stubby wings, they can be launched from ships, aircraft or even submerged submarines; a rocket booster propels the missile until it breaks through the water's surface and its engine takes over. When equipped with a terrain-following electronic guidance system, which...
