Japan invents speech-jamming gun that silences people mid-sentence
The “gun” works by recording what the speaker is saying, and then playing it back to him with a 0.2 second delay. This causes the brain to get all confuzzled and shut up. I’ve experienced this effect on a few phone calls where something screwy with the connection caused my own words to be replayed to me with a split-second delay.
