Overview
This page documents the March 3, 2025 U.S. House Homeland Security Committee hearing titled "Neurocognitive Warfare and the Future of Human-Machine Teaming," held in Washington, D.C.
The hearing featured testimony from Dr. Beatrice Golomb (UC San Diego), Dr. Len Ber (physician/researcher), and Dr. Kimberly Sullivan (Boston University). The committee was briefed on neurostrike technologies, cognitive warfare capabilities, and the implications for civil liberties and human rights protections.
Key Testimony Highlights
Dr. Beatrice Golomb (UC San Diego)
- 30+ years of research into Gulf War Illness and neurological effects of electromagnetic exposure
- Led successful ICD code submission in 2025, enabling accurate patient identification through medical records
- Documented neuroinflammation patterns in Gulf War veterans using PET imaging
- Highlighted the need for expanded access to investigational peptide treatments (Semax, GB-115, Epitalon) for neurotoxicity victims
Dr. Len Ber (Physician/Researcher)
- Personal account of targeted energy attack while in his home, demonstrating civilian vulnerability to neurostrikes
- Analyzed implications of CEW recognition and the need for defensive countermeasures
- Emphasized that civilians are equally vulnerable to non-kinetic cognitive disruption as military personnel
Dr. Kimberly Sullivan (Boston University)
- Research associate professor leading Boston Biorepository, Recruitment and Integrative Network for Gulf War Illness
- Provided expertise on biomarker development and early detection frameworks
- Highlighted the need for longitudinal studies to understand long-term neurological effects of electromagnetic exposure
Hearing Implications
The hearing documented that:
1. Neurocognitive warfare capabilities are being developed with increasing sophistication, targeting CNS, vestibular systems, and neuromechanics
2. Civilian populations remain vulnerable to non-kinetic attacks despite military-focused development narratives
3. Medical recognition lags behind technological deployment, creating gaps in protection and treatment access
4. Legal frameworks are insufficient to address the unique challenges posed by neurological disruption technologies
