Stick your finger in a light socket. Guess what?
I've had a couple of MRIs though. Very powerful magnetic field. I didn't feel a thing; physical or otherwise.

So the stimulation of watching porn on the internet is a planned event?

You think that this suggests positive results? Seriously?
except that the rest of the article suggests positive results
Replication of either the negative or positive effects of exposure on cognition is sorely lacking in the scientific literature and more work is required to verify and reconcile differences between studies reporting either contradictory or no effects.

But, does it work?
. The subject was facing the “hot” electrode of the doublet, so that at the subject center the electric field was the sum of the parts (21) and (23), for positive values of z. It was thought important to use a sine wave, since that would be the “commercially” preferred pulse shape which allows larger pulse amplitudes without being noticed. The only readily available sine wave generator with the required voltage was an oscillator with a rather coarse frequency control that cannot be set accurately, although the frequency is quite stable and can be measured accurately. For the experiment a pulse frequency of 0.506 Hz was accepted, although it differs considerably from the steady ptosis frequency for this case. The subject experienced several ptosis cycles of moderate intensity, starting 8 minutes into the experiment run. It is concluded that the ½ Hz sensory resonance was excited, and that the stimulating field was close to the weakest field capable of excitation. From Eqs. (21) and (23), the electric field pulse amplitude at the center of mass of the subject was found to be 7.9 mV/m. That an electric field with such a small pulse amplitude, applied to the whole body, is capable of exciting the ½ Hz sensory resonance is consistent with experimental results reported in the '874 patent, although these were obtained for the 2.4 Hz resonance. Next, the distance z max was determined at which the 30″ TV tube with 1% image intensity pulse amplitude produces an electric field with a pulse amplitude of 7.9 mV/m, along the center line of the screen. From Eqs. (13) and (19) one finds z max =362.9 cm. At more than 11 feet, this is a rather large distance for viewing a 30″ TV. Yet, the experiment and theory discussed show that the ½ Hz sensory resonance can be excited at this large distance, by pulsing the image intensity subliminally. Of course, the excitation occurs as well for a range of smaller viewing distances. It is thus apparent that the human nervous system can be manipulated by screen emissions from subliminal TV image pulses
I just gotta ask, because applying for and seeing through an approved patent is expensive and time consuming, what exactly, Phage, would be the motive to pursue a patent for something that didn't work?

I'm afraid you may have missed a few parts of the patent Text.
The effect has nothing to do with cathode ray tubes or flat screens.
Essentially anything That can produce A pulsing image that can be viewed by the eye Even subliminally produce the desired effect
And the main thing seems to be the pulse rate.
I am only reading the text of the patent. I cannot possibly know if it really works this way Without testing it myself
ABSTRACT
Physiological effects have been observed in a human subject in response to stimulation of the skin with weak electromagnetic fields that are pulsed with certain frequencies near ½ Hz or 2.4 Hz, such as to excite a sensory resonance. Many computer monitors and TV tubes, when displaying pulsed images, emit pulsed electromagnetic fields of sufficient amplitudes to cause such excitation.
