Brain Implants Can Detect What Patients Hear

kkleiner writes "A group of 15 patients suffering from either epileptic seizures or brain tumors volunteered to allow scientists to insert electrodes into their brains. After neurosurgeons cut a hole in their skulls, the research team placed 256 electrodes over the part of the brain that processes auditory signals called the temporal lobe. The scientists then played words, one at a time, to the patients while recording brain activity in the temporal lobe. A computer was able to reconstruct the original word 80 to 90 percent of the time."

I see big potential here

My dreams of a womanspeak translator implant are on the horizon. Now, if they can just develop the technology to translate "Leave me the fuck alone until the game is over." into a more palatable sentence...

Maybe I've been reading Slashdot too long...

but the first thing I thought of when I read that scientists can now detect what is being heard is: "I wonder before the copyright police make this implant technology mandatory in order to catch unlicensed listening?"

Me to first thing I thought is there's the accuracy problem. They need 512....

DISINFORMATION. Already in widespread use.

[Roark Meets Dent]

These stories about how the technology is still in the experimental stages are all bogus and intentional disinformation. Many thousands of people already have their brains implanted with this tech 100% NON-CONSENSUALLY. It is called synthetic telepathy. It transmits not only what you hear but what you see, think and feel back to the originator. Just google "targeted individuals or "synthetic telepathy" and you will see what I mean.

A lot of new age people are duped into thinking they have developed telepathic powers due to being "spiritually advanced" or "in tune with the earth" or other such BS. In reality they are MKULTRA mind control victims of the present day.

Military black operations have been carried out for years to put the tech into people's heads. Remember all those "alien abduction" stories in the media for the past 10-20 years? Those people really were being abducted and implanted, but not by aliens.

Hunny, if you wish to talk to me about X during the game, I'll be more then happy to talk to you Y when is on.

There you go...

You obviously haven't studied enough Chaos Theory to think womanspeak breaks down into anything logical.
