The transhumanist 2016 United States presidential candidate Zoltan Istvan is hitting the headlines yet again. In a Daily Mail article he is mentioned as saying that he knows of two people who are actively engaged in searching for someone to install neuro implants. Continue reading
DARPA announces Brain modems implanted in Animals
On the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) website http://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2015-01-19 today there is an announcement about the successful implantation of Brain Modems into Animals. The program, Neural Engineering System Design (NESD), stands to dramatically enhance research capabilities in neurotechnology and provide a foundation for new therapies. “Today’s best brain-computer interface systems are like two supercomputers trying to talk to each other using an old 300-baud modem,” said Phillip Alvelda, the NESD program manager. “Imagine what will become possible when we upgrade our tools to really open the channel between the human brain and modern electronics.” Continue reading
Scientists have gone past the point where they are able to introduce Neural dust. As a way to monitor information in brains via ultrasound interacting with open pathways to establish a human brain-computer interface, by watching this smart dust.
“Inventors speculated that a network of nanoparticles injected into the brain could measure electrical activity in neurons, then use ultrasound to form a two-way transfer of data. This theoretically would lead to the reading, generation, or alteration of information – i.e., mind control.” Continue reading
