The U.S. intelligence community has sought to dismiss concerns that incidents involving severe brain injuries suffered by U.S. intelligence and diplomatic personnel overseas may be linked to hostile foreign powers.
China is working on brain weapons and the Commerce Department recently imposed sanctions on Chinese technology companies over concerns about their cognitive warfare development.
