This is a summery report. It's 1972, and I'll be both linking the source material and walking us through it.
The full report can be downloaded here:

Summary
"Controlled offensive behavior...includes Soviet research on human vulnerability as it applies to methods of influencing or altering human behavior...'mental reorientation' is being accomplished through various means including confinement, isolation and psychopharmaceutical administration....the literature contains sufficient data on human mental manipulation and therefore warrants surveillance by interested parties..."
"Methods for controlling behavior...are numerous...The use of sound, light and color, or odors has been determined to be possible means...in order to alter human behavior. In the area of color and lights, usually in a flickering mode, there have been reports of actual trials...."
Background
"The purpose of mind altering techniques is to create one or more of several different possible states in the conscious or unconscious areas of the brain. The ultimate goal..might well be the total submission of one's will to some outside force...."
The document goes on to describe Soviet experimentation on mental hospital patients, among whom were many political detainees and dissidents.
Next, I will skip to the portion which talks about some feasible methods of altering human behavior (to be explained in more detail later)
1)Temperature
2)Atmospheric Conditions
3)Olfactory Phenomena
4)Light
5)Sound
6)Electomagnetic Energy
7)Sensory Deprivation
Key Terms in Psychological Parapsychology
"biocommunications" "psycho-physiology" "psychotronics" "psychoenergetics" "biophysical effects"
The term parapsychology in this report refers to a multidisciplinary field consisting of "bionics" "biophysics" "psychophysics" "physiology" and "neuropsychology"
Biocommunications consists of "bioinformation" and "bioenergetics"
Man's sight and hearing are limited to a relatively small range of wavelengths, other living beings often posses much wider perceptive capabilities, both with regard to sharpness of perception and range of stimuli. For example, dogs hear higher sound frequencies than man; bats and dolphins orient themselves by means of an ultra-sound radar; bees perceive colors even in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum; some snakes perceive minute differences in temperature and orient themselves by means of thermoreceptors. Certain living beings even react to stimuli to which man is absolutely insensitive. Some species of fish and homing pigeons, for instance, react to changes of the electric or magnetic field in their surroundings. In view of these perceptive processes, it has been difficult to differentiate between those sensory processes which are merely sharpened or highly honed and those that are extra or super-normal. Certain military advantages would come from the application and control of these perceptive processes. For example, such application and control could be used in the detection and identification of animate objects or humans through brainwave interactions, mass hypnosis or mind control through long-distance telepathy, thermal receptors, and sensitivity to changes in magnetic/electrical/gravitational fields.
To be continued.
