Human Sensory Control - Good or Evil?

I have a patent application on the subject of sensory control - please see here: 

US20250042417A1 - User sensory control - Google Patents

which is related to the idea of Sensory room - Wikipedia.

Recently I came across more work in this area:

In which we read:

"The work is presented in the form of a time-based installation. By repurposing biofeedback methods, whole-body vibration and wearable bioacoustic technology, the visitor is first induced into a state of perceptual deprivation, and then subjected to diverse stimulations designed and temporally composed so to provoke physiological, physical and neural alterations. The work aims to unlock latent qualities of the human body through its coupling with the technological system."

When I first read it, my first thought was that this type of installation could be used to torture human beings and to break them; the hardware implementation is very similar to what we had disclosed in our patent application earlier (we also had envisioned a UI for customization).  In this embodiment, the cus6tomization comes from an artist, for good or for ill.  

These other two web sites below are related to the same general area of human sensory experience which I also came across recently and thought you might also find interesting:



I think there is a lot of potential for Good or Evil in this area.  Let us hope for the Good to previal.
