Scientists Successfully Implant Chip That Controls The Brain; Allowing Thoughts, Memory And Behavior To Be Transferred From One Brain To Another

"Scientists working at the University of Southern California, home of the Department of Homeland Security’s National Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events, have created an artificial memory system that allows thoughts, memories and learned behavior to be transferred from one brain to another."

A team of scientists working in the fields of “neural engineering” and “Biomimetic MicroElectronic Systems” have successfully created a chip that controls the brain and can be used as a storage device for long-term memories. In studies the scientists have been able to record, download and transfer memories into other hosts with the same chip implanted. The advancement in technology brings the world one step closer to a global police state and the reality of absolute mind control. More terrifying is the potential for implementation of what was only a science fiction fantasy – the “Thought Police” – where the government reads people’s memories and thoughts and can then rehabilitate them through torture before they ever even commit a crime based on a statistical computer analysis showing people with certain types of thoughts are likely to commit a certain type of crime in the future.

We already pre-emptively invade nations and torture alleged terrorist suspects with absolutely no due process of law, so the idea of pre-emptively torturing a terrorist suspect beforehand to prevent them from committing an act of terrorism in the future really isn’t that far fetched of an idea. Perhaps a less sensational example would be using the technology as it is depicted the modern day Matrix movies, in which computer programs are uploaded into people’s brains allowing them to instantly learn how to perform a wide variety of tasks. This technology has potential for a wide array of applications. It could even be the breakthrough needed to create the the first long-imagined artificial intelligence network.
 

The world as we know it is incremental being changed into something that's slowly resembling something from a sci-fi movie. We will soon realise that we are sacrificing freedom for safety and eventually we will be trapped within a prison that the world has created for us humans.

  1. Thought Police is right. This is some scary stuff.

  2. It could have good uses too, like helping Alzheimer patients, stroke victims....just saying.

  4. Oooh, I never knew they were close to actually creating stuff like this.

    How long until some idiot thinks downloading the entire internet onto his brain is a good idea =D

    Hell, I would.

  6. I can't quite believe that this is real, it's bizarre. An incredible step forward for science but it does have very worrying implications.
