The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)—the military’s fringe-science wing—announced the “Neural Engineering System Design” initiative on Jan. 19.
The NESD program “aims to develop an implantable neural interface able to provide unprecedented signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth between the human brain and the digital world,” DARPA stated.
“The interface would serve as a translator, converting between the electrochemical language used by neurons in the brain and the ones and zeros that constitute the language of information technology,” the military research agency continued. “The goal is to achieve this communications link in a biocompatible device no larger than one cubic centimeter in size.”
DARPA plans to hold a meeting in Virginia in February in order to further explain the brain modem idea and begin the process of awarding grants to universities, independent researchers and private companies.
And in advance of awarding the cash, DARPA said it will form an “industry group” of neuroscience experts willing to share ideas for free, all in the hope that a little collaboration will make the subsequent competition more productive in the long run.

The agency anticipates spending $60 million on NESD over the next four years.
Bradley Greger, a neuroscientist at Arizona State University said, “It’s an exciting project,” adding that there’s real potential for “fundamental new insights” into how the brain works.
AND HOW IT CAN BE CONTROLLED, ISN'T THAT THE REAL GOAL?

" The U.S. military is beginning work on a new “implantable neural interface” that it hopes will allow wearers to transmit data back and forth from their brains to external digital devices.
That’s right—a brain modem.
One that can connect to a staggering one million neurons at a time, up from the mere thousands that are possible today.

The implications are profound for the armed forces and civilians. Imagine controlling your tank, car or microwave oven with your mind.
Or steering a drone with your thoughts and “seeing” what the drone’s sensors see—in real time."
DARPA LEADS THE WAY
"DARPA is looking into the evolution of wetware that will consist of implantable brain machine interfaces. This will actually allow human beings to manipulate computers using the power of their mind.
The whole setup was a part of the NESD program. Chemical secretions in our brains would be transferred to digital code language. Furthermore, DARPA and the US military both expect this device to be as small as two coins placed on top of one another

“Today’s best brain-computer interface systems are like two supercomputers trying to talk to each other using an old 300-baud modem,” said Phillip Alvelda, the NESD program manager.
“Imagine what will become possible when we upgrade our tools to really open the channel between the human brain and modern electronics.”
I HAVE IMAGINED, THANKS...
IT WAS NOT A PLEASANT THOUGHT.
HERE'S THE "HARD SALE"...
" This is realistic and not from some sci-fi genre movie.
The chips in the brain will allow translation of data from the minds of the cyborgs to computers.
The implants will lead to the soldiers being able to detect enemy location, read a map of the locale and understand the requirements of the theater of war.
These may be 'cyborgs' but they would also be better soldiers and fighting machines that would protect the homeland from any attack by terrorists or foreign forces.
The thin fine line that separates biology from electronics will be crossed in the true sense of the word. Thus bionics will have come into its prime.
Currently the neural interfaces are more or less faulty since the data they provide the person in whose brain they are implanted is chaotic at best.
There is too much static on the line. But it is possible to do away with a mouse and keyboard by the year 2020 by implanting the devices in the brain of the user. This shows how far our capabilities go as a species."
WELL, THAT WAS A POORLY WRITTEN ARTICLE THERE AT "NATIONAL DAILY"...VERY POORLY WRITTEN, BUT GIVES US AN IDEA OF THE "PUSH" FOR THE TECHNOLOGY.
While the Pentagon’s brain modem is far from science fiction—cochlear implants, for example, represent a very basic form of one-way neural interface—it’s NOT YET "science fact".
IT IS AT THE HEAD OF DARPA'S WISH LIST.
DARPA dreams: cortical modems and neural RAMplants
IT GOT A LOT OF "PRESS"...

"It is not the first time DARPA researchers have attempted to build a brain-machine interface, however previous versions have had limited functionality. The agency’s new Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) research program aims to increase brain neuron interaction from tens of thousands to millions at a time.
The NESD project forms part of U.S. President Barack Obama’s Brain Research through Advancing Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) initiative, which aims to cure and treat brain disorders."
BS, BS ALERT!
As the tea room has reported before, the brain "research" thing was established in stone by "DADDY" BUSH.
OBAMA HAS DEVISED NOTHING NEW SINCE HE TOOK OFFICE, NOT EVEN "OBAMACARE", WHICH WAS A REPUBLICAN PROJECT OF THE REAGAN ERA.
MEANWHILE, OTHERS WANT SUCH AS THIS STOPPED...
OLD STEPHEN HAWKING, FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE HAWKING CAN COMMUNICATE, HAS WARNED THAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL ELIMINATE HUMANS.
HE SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER...IT'S A "WORLD-ENDER".
DAVOS - The world must act quickly to avert a future in which autonomous robots with artificial intelligence roam the battlefields killing humans, scientists and arms experts warned at an elite gathering in the Swiss Alps.
WELL, WE'LL SEE HOW IT ALL TURNS OUT, WON'T WE?
WHO WANTS TO PLAY "THE MATRIX"?
RED PILL?
