''The Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological & Electro-Magnetic Manipulation of Human Consciousness'' (often abbreviated as ''The Psycho-Social CD'') is the debut album of underground hip hop group Jedi Mind Tricks, consisting of rapper Vinnie Paz (then known as Ikon the Verbal Hologram) and producer Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind. The original version of the album was released in 1997, limited to 1,000 copies on vinyl by Superegular Records, and was re-released on CD in 2003 on Babygrande Records with six bonus tracks, featuring songs recorded by the group before their debut release.
