Sound only you can hear

From Wired News:
quote:Those voices in your head may be real.

Researchers have developed technology that can project a beam of sound so narrow that only one person can hear it. "Directed" audio sounds like it's coming from right in front of you even when transmitted from a few hundred meters away.

Inventors of the new "ventriloquist" technology say it could provide an added dimension to entertainment. The military, however, is investigating using it to confuse opponents or even inflict pain.

Cool! Sometimes, when I have the patience to meditate, I hear voices speaking and singing - and this is not something that my imagination could come up with because it's useless. This is much more spontaneous and exciting.

...actually...this kind of puts me off a bit. Would be a great use for riot control and other "controlling" uses. Ugh...
