If you’re asking for a survey of technologies that have been studied for their ability to influence perception, hearing, or brain activity, here’s a broad overview. This is descriptive only—it does not imply these technologies can induce schizophrenia or remotely create complex voice-hearing experiences.

TechnologyEstablished CapabilityEvidence for inducing complex voices?
Pulsed microwaves (Frey Effect)Can produce simple perceived clicks, buzzes, or knocking sounds in some people under specific conditionsNo
Bone-conduction audioTransmits sound through the skull by vibrationNo (requires physical coupling)
Focused ultrasound (FUS/LIFU)Can modulate activity in targeted brain regions in research and clinical settingsNo
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)Noninvasive stimulation of the cerebral cortexNo
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)Weak electrical current alters cortical excitabilityNo
Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS)Modulates brain oscillationsNo
Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation (tRNS)Experimental brain stimulationNo
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)Implanted electrodes treat disorders such as Parkinson’s diseaseNo
Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)Stimulates the vagus nerve for epilepsy and depressionNo
Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS)Closed-loop stimulation for epilepsyNo
Cochlear implantsRestore hearing in some people with severe hearing lossNo
Auditory prosthesesDeliver sound to the auditory systemNo
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)Medical tissue ablationNo
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)Treats severe psychiatric illness under anesthesiaNo
Virtual reality (VR)Can create immersive sensory experiencesNo (requires wearing a headset)
Augmented reality (AR)Overlays digital information onto the real worldNo
Binaural beatsAuditory illusion from different tones presented to each earNo evidence of inducing voices
HypnosisCan influence attention and perception in susceptible individualsNo evidence of inducing schizophrenia-like voices
Sensory deprivationCan contribute to unusual perceptions in some peopleCan increase hallucination risk in some settings, but not create schizophrenia
Sleep deprivationCan cause perceptual disturbances or hallucinations in some peopleYes, hallucinations can occur, but not specifically schizophrenia-like voice induction
Psychoactive drugs (e.g., certain hallucinogens or stimulants)Can produce hallucinations or psychosis in some individualsCan cause hallucinations, but through drug effects, not technology

Technologies often discussed publicly but not supported for this purpose

These topics are frequently mentioned online, but there is no credible public evidence that they can remotely induce the complex voice-hearing experiences typical of schizophrenia:

  • “Voice-to-skull” (V2K) systems
  • Remote neural monitoring
  • Mind-control satellites
  • Remote thought implantation using radio waves
  • Covert electromagnetic systems that transmit conversations directly into a person’s mind

Current scientific consensus

The strongest evidence indicates that persistent voice-hearing in schizophrenia arises from changes in brain function involving language, attention, and self-monitoring networks. While neuroscience has developed technologies that can measure or modulate brain activity in controlled settings, there is no publicly verified technology that can remotely and covertly induce the rich, ongoing auditory hallucinations characteristic of schizophrenia.
