So the lower the frequency the more power it would take? Also do you think we have the technology to produce this sort of thing? Maybe the top secret government technologies I've heard about, but so far have not been able to prove really... ?

I interviewed one spook whistleblower scientist, all off the record, and this person was adamant that their 'employer' had technology which intefaced with the human brain, both via hardware/software in a direct neural 'plug', AND also via remote sensing technology (which was also two-way).
And this dated back to the early 1970s.
Assuming this account was true, and I have no reason to doubt it personally speaking, imagine what 'they' have these days.

The "waves" used in our brain are in a sense radio waves, but in another sense, not radio waves.
The frequency for the brain is from 1 hz to around 20 hz. This is where it gets a little complex. There are radio frequencies that use what is called ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) that have a range of 3 Hz to 30 Hz.
These frequencies were/are used to communicate with submarines. The nature of the wavelength requires a very low information rate of exchange. You can't use this for voice communication, it would be Morse code. The power requirements are very high also, but the killer is the antenna. It is monstrous in size. There are really no shortcuts in transmitting something like this.
Antenna design would allow for 1/2 or 1/4 wave antenna to be used. The problem is we are talking about 1 hertz to 20 hertz waves. A 20 hertz wave, the upper end of the brain wave, would require an antenna using the math of (speed of light / number of hertz; then divided by the wave length chosen in our case 1/4 wave) 299,792,458 meters per second / 20 = 14989623 meters times 0.25 = 3747406 meters of antenna. See the problem... You could go in smaller fractions for wavelength, but then the measurement becomes very critical and you start to loose signal integrity.
The Russian and US Navies overcame this by using slightly higher frequencies and using the earth as the antenna.
Now for the power requirements. Human brain, very very low power output. Microvolts at best with milliamp power rating. It would very easy to just overpower the brain normal function if the above problem is solved in transmitting.
Information exchange. You transmit what? Once again, it goes back to the signal length which, at best is 20 oscillations per second. You just can't transmit much at one time.
