Doesn't the human brain operate on the AM band?
I wish I could find it:
Top Gear episode from the early 2000s. Jeremy Clarkson is curious as to why the door key remote will lock and unlock his Mercedes from a certain distance when he just holds out towards the car, but if he steps out of range, and he puts it to his head and pushes the button from a few feet extra back, the signal reaches the rest of the way to the car. He didn't say how many extra feet you get, and they didn't go into the theory, but it tells me that the brain is able to act as sort of a ham radio repeater tower. They asked people to write in and they would share some of the opinions on a future episode, but you never hear a word about it again. Sounds like a lot of top secret work has been going on about this subject for quite a few years now
