According to this item, Sony has patented "the concept of beaming ultrasonic signals into a person’s brain to transmit recorded images or sounds." Now of course, "no experiments had been conducted, and that the patent “was based on an inspiration that this may someday be the direction that technology will take us." Given that you don't actually have to invent anything to get a patent, the author wonders (as do I) "Why aren’t science fiction writers loaded, then?"
