DARPA, the Department of Defense's research arm, is paying scientists to invent ways to instantly read soldiers' minds using tools like genetic engineering of the human brain, nanotechnology and infrared beams. The end goal? Thought-controlled weapons, like swarms of drones that someone sends to the skies with a single thought or the ability to beam images from one brain to another.
This week, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) announced that six teams will receive funding under the Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program. Participants are tasked with developing technology that will provide a two-way channel for rapid and seamless communication between the human brain and machines without requiring surgery.
While there have been breakthroughs in our ability to read and even write information to the brain, these advances have generally relied on brain implants in patients, allowing physicians to monitor conditions like epilepsy.
Brain surgery is too risky to justify such interfaces in able-bodied people, however; and current external brain-monitoring approaches like electroencephalography (EEG) — in which electrodes are attached directly to the scalp — are too inaccurate. As such, DARPA is trying to spur a breakthrough in noninvasive or minimally invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
The agency is interested in systems that can read and write to 16 independent locations in a chunk of brain the size of a pea with a lag of no more than 50 milliseconds within four years, said Robinson, who is under no illusion about the scale of the challenge.

I would like one.
I knew That!
Cool.
So some guy gets PO’d at his CO and vaporizes him accidentally cuz he can’t control his anger.
Should work out great.
They already have mind-control weapons: the main stream media, Facebook, Google, etc.
Make the operator think in the Russian language like in Firefox.
Between this and the chinese drone swarm thing, popcorn futures should go through the roof.
You have to think in Russian ...
What could possibly go wrong??
This is nothing new. Think MKUltra.
Think how useful this would be in traffic
I can imagine a pilot thinking “sh*t” and all external weapons emergency jettison.
Well, so long as they aren’t Assault Style mind control weapons, we’ve nothing to worry about...
Well, at least this would take weapons out of the hands of Democrats.
“Skaitiye vpered raketa.....”
WHOOSH!! Scratch one Badger.
Just can’t wait until they turn those weapons against US, U.S.
As an aside, it looks like about half the people on this thread are complete fscking morons who can’t tell the difference between “control” and “controlled” ...
i wasn’t going to write a response- but the government made me do it with their mind control program
