TL;DR
Hypothetically, if someone could send "v2k" to a person's brain, how could this v2k be blocked, practically? A tin foil hat? The EMF shielding fabric?

A Faraday cage would work -- er, yes, a literal tinfoil hat. I would think that US intelligence installations (thinking of "Havana Syndrome") already line their walls with conductive materials to prevent eavesdropping on their EM signals, and this would also work to isolate a room or house.

Note, we do not discuss conspiracy theories here.
