The new mind-reading technologies
The lead author of another new study, Professor Philippe Schyns, researching how to unscramble thought in the human mind, is quoted in the Daily Mail as saying: “It’s a bit like unlocking a scrambled television channel. Before, we could detect the signal but couldn’t watch the content; now we can.
“How the brain encodes the visual information that enables us to recognize faces and scenes has long been a mystery.”
Meanwhile others, like UC Berkely’s Brian N. Pasley, are deciphering the way brains encode sound.
Pasley is quoted in a university press release: “This research is based on sounds a person actually hears, but to use it for reconstructing imagined conversations, these principles would have to apply to someone’s internal verbalizations.”
Drones will scan your brain
The thought police may be closer than you think. They might already be in your hometown. If they’re not, they may pay you a visit soon, and you probably won’t even know it. After all, how many people spend time staring at the sky attempting to spot a spy drone 6,000 feet up?
The Department of Defense Resource Center boasts of SoarTech’s ESPRIT. What is ESPRIT? It’s a technology project being developed by a company named Soar Technology that has been given a grant to create a system to read minds. The acronym ESPIRIT stands for Extra-sensory Perception (ESP) Recognition of Intent Technology.
The system will be incorporated into spy drones designed to scan the minds of targeted people.
Brain interfacing is the new rage, as the BBC reports.
But Soar Technology is not alone in its efforts. Another company located in California, Stottler Henke, is also paving the way for mind-scanning drones with its Intelligent Pilot Intent Analysis System (IPIAS). According to company literature the IPIAS will “represent and execute expert pilot-reasoning processes to infer other pilots’ intents in the same way human pilots currently do.”
To achieve this very Orwellian objective they are creating exotic mind-reading algorithms.
Widespread use of such drones in theaters of war and for use in urban areas, domestically, is planned.
Wired.com’s Danger Room reports more about these troubling developments.
