Brain cells are tiny, therefore one current hypothesis - "pulsed/beamed microwave energy weapon" holds some small amount of water.
However, to affect the propulsion installation of a large ship the wavelength would be very much longer - and for now I'm disregarding all other ship machinery. The EIRP would have to be incredible.
