Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) It is common to believe that we can hear sound but that we cannot hear radio-frequency. Contrary to such common prejudice and misunderstanding, numerous research papers have been reported that pulse-modulated microwave induces hearing sensation. Herein I review papers on microwave auditory effect that pulsed microwave induces hearing sensation. With regard to the physiological mechanisms to induce the hearing sensation, the head acts as an acoustic transducer to convert the pulsed microwave into an acoustic wave, which propagates in the head tissue. The cochlear in the inner ear converts the acoustic wave into the impulse, which transmits in the auditory nerve to the auditory cortex.
