I'll save you the trouble of logging in to MEDLINE.
Keep in mind that, IF we have a random assortment of technically
knowledgeable "hackers" picking on ignorant victims, OR if we
have unknown apparatus malfunctions affecting ignorant victims,
the victims will NOT BE COMPETENT to understand the symptoms.
They will report "alien invaders" (they saw it on TV), "illegal
experiments" (they saw it on TV), or "CIA torture" (they saw
it on TV)--and most of them won't know any better. In generally
more ignorant times, they would have reported "witchcraft" or
"evil spirits".
My comments are "jmw": These abstracts are available by search
for "microwave" at PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/).

. . . The irradiation decreased the values of
interneuronal correlation and consequently the
effectiveness of cortical synapses.

Ultrashort microwave signals: a didactic
discussion.
Adair RK
As a consequence of the variation with
frequency of the attenuation and phase velocity
of electromagnetic waves in tissue, the shape
(variation of the electric field with time) of short
electromagnetic pulses incident on tissue
changes with depth of penetration. . . .
PMID: 7487816, UI: 96070462
jmw Comment: The shape change reflects a
change in momentum. Assuming some
absorption by the tissue, such changes in
momentum of the radiation imply mechanical
effects (reaction forces) on the tissues,
concentrated on tissue interfaces, viz., organ
boundaries. The mechanical energy coupled to
the tissue (by the microwave electromagnetic E
field component) need not immediately be
dissipated as heat; for example, the
phenomenological effect on the inner ear seems
to be tinnitis; some have reported audible "click"
sounds. ... sometimes, the pain does feel like a
burn, suggesting heating or electrolysis of
tissue.

Gorpinchenko II, Imshinetskaia LP,
Gurzhenko IuN
. . . of these, 75 underwent microwave
resonance therapy (MRT), with 21 subjects
having it as a monomethod of their treatment.
MRT was found to be useful in treatment of
patients with ineroreceptive and psychogenic
forms of sexual dysfunctions. . . .
PMID: 8846388, UI: 96224765
jmw Comment: The effect when "tuned" at
prostate resonance is erection; so, like AIDS, we
have a societal disease to be spread by sexual
activity . . .. The only cure so far attempted
seems to be concealment, denial, and ignorance.
