What was that weird 'shock'/EMP I received?

Question

During Deus Ex 3, coming back to my apartment to speak to Sarif I ignored the apartment and went straight into the downstairs elevator, after passing the corner I got a weird 'shock' which acted like a small EMP.

What on earth was it? I couldn't see a mine or anything that could've done it...

Answer

It's neither a mine, or anything you did

It's actually a part of the story, and will be somewhat explained later on in the game. What you are experiencing are in fact a "malfunction" in the biochip.

Explained it a bit better with spoilers, in case you want to know:

The "malfunction" is actually a part of the bad guys plan, to force all augmented people get an upgraded biochip from the LIMB clinics. This upgraded biochip has a "kill-switch" in them, triggered by a remote signal. Which essentially drives augmented people mad, and turns them in to zombies, who goes on attacking everyone they see.
