Conspiracy theorists all over the world are familiar with the tin foil hat, whether they use them or are teased with references to them. As it turns out, tin (or more accurately aluminum) foil hats and helmets may actually amplify the frequencies fingered as suspect for beaming mind control right into your head.
The idea seems sound at first glance, appearing to work like a Faraday cage for the brain. The problem is that this headgear does not entirely enclose the head and thus sets up a situation for signals to actually be reflected and amplified by the foil. The helmets actually amplify frequencies that coincide with those allotted to the US government for GPS and other satellite communications. They also amplify frequencies reserved for mobile phones. This information comes from folks at MIT that actually tested it.
On the Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets: An Empirical Study
The message seems to be that if you are a believer in tin foil hats then you should work on new designs to account for these findings. Perhaps a more paranoid assessment would be that the government and the multinational corporations actually want you to wear these hats as they actually make it easier for them to beam radio waves into your head.
