Call me crazy, but does this DoD document actually mention Synthetic
Telepathy? Don't they already have this? I ain't too smart but there
are hundreds of thousands of people who claim to be tortured with
Synthetic Telepathy. Is there a connection?
"Abstract : By 2040,
advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) will provide the American
warfighter with remarkable advantages. As the role of robots and
incredibly advanced computer systems
permeate throughout the military infrastructure, BCI will provide the
means to realize maximum performance from human-computer collaboration
enhancing both human and software performance; providing the needed
ability to solve and adapt to growing battlespace complexities. Current
BCI technology already demonstrates the ability to directly interpret
and influence neural activity related to sensory information, as well as
the intention to perform motor functions, human cognitive ability, and
physiological regulation. Based upon a conservative projection of
technological advancement, the impact of portable BCI technology in 2040
will have significant military benefits to include: heightened
situational awareness, enhanced autonomous system management, human
cognitive enhancement beyond natural abilities, synthetic telepathy,
augmented reality/response, improved training techniques and reduced
casualty rates with improved medical outcomes. It will be the
bidirectional type of BCI, providing two-way communication and influence
between brain and computer, which will open the full potential to
exploit the powerful communicative and human-machine performance
boosting opportunities offered by this technology. The Department of
Defense should capitalize on this emerging technology. It should
specifically foster the development of bidirectional BCI and pursue the
technological or non-technologic means to increase human sensitivity to
BCI methods."
