Neuro-Technology: Pentagon’s DARPA Continues To Push “Black Box” Brain Chip Implant | Global Research

The Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the research arm of the military, is
continuing to develop implantable brain chips, according to documents
newly posted as part of the agency’s increased “transparency” policy.

 The agency is seeking to develop a portable, wireless device that
“must incorporate implantable probes” to record and stimulate brain
activity – in effect, a memory triggering ‘black box’ device.

The process would entail
placing wires inside the brain, and under the scalp, with electrical
impulses fired up through a transmitter placed under the skin of the
chest area.

 Bloomberg first picked up the story last week, and since then several tech blogs have
jumped on board, describing the technological push as part of a project
to help injured soldiers, and part an initiative set up by the Obama
administration to find treatments for brain disorders, such as
Alzheimer’s.

In reality, this project has been ongoing for years, decades in fact. And given that the Pentagon war machine is spear-heading it, with $70m of funding,
one must seriously question why the DoD suddenly gives a damn about war
wounded vets, never mind everyday Americans with brain disorders.

The documents state that rather than aid general memory loss, such a
device would enable the ability to recover “task-based motor skills”
like driving cars, operating machinery, tying shoe laces or even flying
planes. It would also help recover memory loss surrounding traumatic
events – according to the documents.
