Controlling Tech Solely by Thought
DARPA's New Program of Mind Over Matter Source: DARPA DARPA's Breakthrough Research to Develop Brain-Machine Connections The US Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA - has just launched a radical approach to connecting the brain to technology through Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs). They're working on wireless BMIs that do not require surgery to link the brain and technology. Six academic teams have just been tapped to come up with radically different, innovative approaches. The concepts include connecting by acoustic signals, electromagnetic waves, infrared beams, genetically enhanced neurons and nanotechnology. It's a 4 year research program and each university team is said to be getting $20 million. Your Brain Waves Controlling Your Technology The DARPA project is called the Next Generation, Non-surgical Neurotechnology Program. The purpose is to equip the US military with BMIs and provide them with...
