| New Method For Watchers To Invade The Human Soul? Behold The Hardware Updates Set To Create “Neural Pathways” Between Your Mind And An Artificial “Intelligence”June 8, 2017 by SkyWatch Editor  ; A number of players have entered the field of neurotech with a different goal: cognitive enhancement of healthy humans, made possible by the formal, physical union of computers and our brains. The largest contributor to neurotech has been Darpa, the research arm of the Department of Defense, which has a long record of pushing scientists and engineers to achieve the seemingly impossible. Darpa birthed the Arpanet, which eventually became the internet, and was also behind GPS and the world’s first successful self-driving cars. Its medical-research division has funded studies that use implants similar to the one created by Neuropace to treat everything from traumatic brain injury to psychiatric disorders. Darpa has also committed $60 million to create what’s known as a “direct cortical interface,” a brain-computer connection unlike any that exists today. Neural implants like Emily Borghard’s can stimulate and record from just a handful of neurons. Darpa hopes to create a neural interface that can connect to as many as one million neurons. A fully functional brain-computer interface on this scale would, in theory, turn a person into a programmable, debuggable machine—just like a computer.(READ MORE) |
