Army Sinks Millions Into “Synthetic Telepathy” Research

Perhaps in the hope that military commanders will one day order scout troop around with their major power of their minds , in the style of X - Men ’s Xavier , the U.S. Army has pass a grant of $ 4 million to “ synthetic telepathy ” researchers in Irvine , California . I guess the “ synthetic ” part is hypothesise to make this all seem more legitimate , because it ’s computing equipment - mediated telepathy rather of the Ghostbustery variety . Over at Danger Room , Noah Shachtman quotes from the University of California at Irvine researcher :

The brainiac - electronic computer interface would employ a noninvasive brain mental imagery technology like electroencephalography to let people communicate idea to each other . For example , a soldier would “ think ” a message to be transmitted and a computer - based speech recognition system would decode the EEG signals . The decoded thought , in essence translated brain Wave , are transmitted using a system that points in the guidance of the intended fair game .

As Shachtman target out , this is just one of several projects the armed forces is fund in the area of what amounts to psychical ops . Last week , intelligence information officialsreleased a lengthy reporton using neuroscience on the battlefield — include mind control ! I ’m just excited that this synthetic ESP stuff is being researched in my honest-to-goodness hometown of Irvine , which also happen to be in Orange County , where Philip K. Dick ’s schizo - nous - control novel A Scanner Darkly takes place .
