Implantable 'living pharmacy' could control body's sleep/wake cycles
EurekAlert! is a service of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. ^ | 5-13-21 | NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has signed a cooperative agreement with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a wireless, fully implantable device that will control the body's circadian clock, halving the time it takes to recover from disrupted sleep/wake cycles.

The first phase of the highly interdisciplinary program will focus on developing the implant. The second phase, contingent on the first, will validate the device. If that milestone is met, then researchers will test the device in human trials, as part of the third phase. The full funding corresponds to $33 million over 4 1/2 years.

Or it gets hacked and someone kills you.

Mr mm and I are starting more and more to avoid computerized anything. When we need some gadget or tool, we try to find one that is not computer controlled, something that’s all mechanical and you can fix yourself without going into bankruptcy buying the computer components.

And I am NOT going to let anyone computerize my body.

The way it’s being presented is so deceitful.

“Living pharmacy” my foot.

They are pretending this is something good for you that will help you instead of something that someone will someday use to control you.

I read a book about 20 years ago.

It was a conspiracy theory kind of book looking at the future.

They guy had some very interesting ideas that at the time seemed far fetched and would have gotten him written off as a whack job.

A lot of it was concerning nanotechnology and medicine and how people could be controlled that way.

Not any more does it sound far fetched. When I remeber the name of the book, I’ll let you know.
