YALE SCIENTISTS DEVELOPING BRAIN-READING TECHNOLOGY

There are those, in spite of stories like the present one shared by Mr. A.B., who continue to disbelieve in the reality of brain entrainment and control technologies:

Scientist’s (Sic) are Developing a Mind-Reading Machine that Can Read and Translate Your Thoughts Into Text, Including Images

Assuming for the sake of argument the story, as reported is true, just consider the implications of the claims:

A device that might make our internal monologues a thing of the past was just announced as being under development right here in the United States.  This eavesdropping machine can actually hear the little voices inside your head and make them known to others.

The potentially dangerous mind-reading device is being developed by American and German scientists at Yale, with a study led by Professor Marvin Chun and designed by Alan Cowen, a PhD student at the university.

Their efforts are being combined to develop an advanced instrument that turns our secret thoughts into readable text and recognizable imagery. As stated recently in The Daily Mail, scientists on the project have the goal of reproducing audible speech using our inaudible brain functions, and they want to do it in real-time.

Understanding the Mechanism

Electrodes are placed directly on the head correlating with the speech and language centers of the brain.  This is all done while the subject is awake and alert. Electrical responses to various stimuli are monitored and measured by scientists and then matched with computer generated signals which correspond to distinct speech patterns.

While electrodes and underdeveloped technology currently limit the applications for the device, scientists are busily looking for the loopholes. Yale has even teamed up with UC Berkeley to determine how hearing, speaking, and imaging overlap in the brain, with Professor Robert Knight leading the team of researchers.

He stated in a recent interview, “We want to develop an implantable device that decodes the signals that occur in the brain when we think about a word, then turn these signals into a sound file that can be reproduced by a speech device.”  With the device being planned for future implantation, it is not illogical to wonder what the real agenda is.
(Emphasis added)

We've seen similar stories emerge from Japan and elsewhere in the previous years, and the real agenda remains hidden, though we can guess at what it is, and the key is that mention of an implant that reads the mental waves during the occurence of certain words, images, and so on.

A complete mapping of the brain might give the ability to decode an individual's thoughts, and, for an elite hell-bent on total control, for "correction" of abberent thinking.

But now let's add the high octane speculation. As the article notes, such technologies are currently dependent on physical electrode and implants. But imagine, for a moment, the coupling of such a technology to two others: remote EEG (electro-encephalogram) sensing, and AI. IImagine the ability to sense and amplify the brain waves of an individual, say, from a satellite in space; signals could be distinguished and sorted by massive data filtering via supercomputers or even AI. If that sounds nightmarish or even outlandish, it is, but rest assured, if we can think of it, "they" probably already have.

Let's go further. You'll have noticed, if you've been following such stories over the years, that they are all of one nature, namely, what can be done, or is being done, in the ffield of brain manipulation, influence, reading, and control technologies. We are left with the impression of an individual's utter helplessness in the face of the ineluctable advance of technology. What is never mentioned, and I find it highly suspicious, are any stories on research into counter-measures, into "spiritual" or technological means of preventing inttrusion by such technologies. One can assume that if such research into the technologies themselves are undertaken, research into counter-measures cannot be far behind, yet, in the face of this merely logical implication and inevitability, there is a wall of silence cloaking it.

And that, for me, is the bottom lline to today's high octane speculation, for that lack and silence I find extremely suspicious. It suggests that there may be something they aree hiding, perhaps some resilient property of the human mind, perhaps a countervailing technology, perhaps both.

It is this hidden and almost inevitable factor that I find the most intriguing about such articles. It's not what such articles are saying, but rather, what they are not saying, that I find the most interest.

See you on the flip side...

    I would actually put this brain-reading research in a different box. Back in the 60s/70s, there was a lot of brainwave-research on psi-positive people, gurus, meditators, etc. It was interesting, but limited by the technology of the time.

    Nowadays, there is technology (mentioned in the article) that can give a much finer view on what is happening for those folks. Identification provides a much greater chance for artificial synthesis. Find out what Person X’s brain is doing, then specifically-stimulate Person Y’s brain in the same way. Repeatedly. Take notes…

    I would propose that the main reason for the Yale work is the pursuit of higher states. If these states prove to be ‘reproducible’ by direct stimulation of the brain, then mobsters/banksters can all have advanced states without going-through all that inconvenient Oneness cr@p.

    I suspect all the ‘brain reading’ hoopla is just a smokescreen for the real ‘prize’…

    An even funnier prospect is that Control and Chaos will actually begin to understand the “mind of the masses” and be so terrified of what they discover that the whole project folds up and goes home.

    The fact that the research is stationed at Yale is a big red flag. Yale’s been an Intelligence stronghold since it’s inception. Some of the research is tied in with U. C. Berkeley, also a spook recruiting school for a long time. Follow the funding and it’s most likely coming from a CIA dummy company, or even some U.S government cover agency. DARPA has to be connected in some manner to this.

    These scientists are not working independently, they’re under the instructions and careful supervision of the Powers That Be. What we’re getting here is only the tip of the iceberg of the research, as Joseph so often points out.

    There’s got to be counter-measures being researched and developed. You don’t really think the scientists themselves, or their Masters, or the Elites, intend to go under any “brain reading” machine, do you? Never in a million years.

    I’m surprised the writer of the article didn’t bring up the subject of counter-measures to these “brain reading”devices. Maybe it was off limits?

    I wonder what kind of rubes they’re using to experiment on. Probaby just ordinary students in need of a few extra bucks. I’d like to see them test out some long term meditators, say 20 years or more, of different styles. Good chance they would blow out these “brain reading” machines and the results wouldn’t look so positive for these modern Frankenstein scientists.

    Great fodder for comedy writers.
    Even TPTB have bosses/wives.

      Subject awake, alert, and most importantly…
      in an unescapable mental-straight-jacket.

      But is it Deadpool proof?

      For those of you who have a dark sense of humor,
      I recommend checking-out the current Deadpool movie
      [I checked out the DVD from local library].

      Then you’ll know what Deadpool proof means.

    Anyone familiar with the original black and white anime series Astro Boy. There was a episode that dealt with this idea I was about eleven or twelve when I view it and I was disturbed by that episode. TOS Star Trek also dealt with this idea and this has been a meme in several science fiction stories, novels, films and movies.

    Indeed, a vast amount of current “science news” is about scaring people and bluffing people.

    The “Billy Goat’s Bluff” is ongoing in several forms:

    Pardon my cynicism. Without meaning it as criticism I might as well state the obvious which is that moderation by keyword never seems ideal. While I wouldn’t want to pull back anything I’ve posted there was one early one I was surprised wasn’t put into moderation, and I still am given how cautious you can be.

    My cynicism is towards your high-octane speculation. I genuinely believe a lot of what happens really does happen because of carelessness and chaos. It doesn’t mean people are never careful, just that they are sometimes given more credit than they are due.

    Do I believe they would pursue this without counter-measures? Absolutely. And (referring to my comments about key words in the first paragraph) I even believe they would use it despite such obvious issues as – how can they be sure that they will be providing the correct words for any given thought? Are our spellcheck and smart search technologies always helpful?

    So why would they not report on (or most likely support usually) counter-measures? Because they just don’t want us to think about them. They want to sell us on this thought control So they would talk about it whether they had it or not. But it’s important enough to give us a good opinion of it so they would do so whether they had counter-measures or not. Again, I just don’t believe they want us to think about them.

      jplatt39,
      Exactly!
      Part of it is prepping the subject to believe in their utter nonsense.
      Take Classical economics versus the neoliberal jibberish they’re selling to the nin cow poops, ultra marrons & imbeciles of today.
      They then back-up that nonsensical jive w/talking-head, alphabet soup media outlets, and their idiotic expects who’ve all drunken so much kool-aid, they actually believe their own press.



      • Robert Barricklow on June 16, 2016 at 1:45 pm

        Damn Press, that is.

    That coupling cat’s out of the bag.

    These technological investigations should illuminate the questions concerning the “location” of mind. If the higher mind is not locatable in the gray matter then I have this hilarious notion that mind will beat them at their game.

    A powerful combination – previously discussed mind alteration & control EM and now the power and technology to read the results.
