Medical researchers have concluded that the brain works via a series of electrical impulses. Therefore our thoughts, much like the processing of a computer, are in the binary mode of on or off. Recently a Kansas woman had a series of recurring dreams in which she heard a tone play in a particular rhythm over and over. After a weeks worth, she started to get a bit concerned for her sanity. Upon mentioning it to her son, a student at MIT, he asked her what the rhythm was. She told him, and he immediately realized that it was a pattern What's more, it spelled out "Pokemon". Later that night the woman spoke with her next-door neighbor, who mentioned that he had just grounded his 12 year old son because every night for the last week he had been playing his Gameboy under the covers after he was supposed to go to bed. The game? Pokemon.

It's no wonder that federal regulations require that you turn off all electrical equipment, including video games, when you're on an airplane. They transmit so strongly that some people can even hear them in dreams.
