His premise is based on nerve firings being triggered by electromagnetic pulses, which is a known phenomena.
where do you claim the fakery begins?

So you are saying photons striking the skin in regular pulses will not cause cutaneous nerves to randomly fire?
Near infrared radiation can.be felt as actual heat, so why cant other wavelengths activate nerve firings as well?

Right, cant see with your skin, never said you could. There is such a thing as Photosensitivity in humans where natural and artificial lights have effects on the skin as in lupus and eczema.
but mostly im asking? A photon striking the skin and being absorbed by a nerve ending will not cause that nerve to fire?
Are you positive on that?

The patent is not saying that you will actually feel anything. It is saying that because of the random nerve firing that occur in the skin because of the photonic pulses a signal, albeit subliminal, is being transmitted to the brain from the activated nerve cells.
are you saying that photons striking nerve endings will not serve to activate them randomly?

right, so the random firings of the nerves happens in peaks and valleys along with the pulsation and frequency of the light, which registers as heat, no matter how miniscule. and then....

Also as you can see from this image visible light penetrates much deeper into the skin than even UV light, which would give its photons enough energy to transfer energy to subdermal tissues and then be registered as temperature fluctuations across the skin.
