DARPA's N3 allows human brains to interact with computers

Post by Maria »

The Next-Generation Non-Surgical Neurotechnology, or N3, program aims to combine the speed and processing power of computers with humans’ ability to adapt to complex situations, DARPA said. In other words, the technology would let people control, feel and interact with a remote machine as though it were a part of their own body. ...

DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) began studying interactions between humans and machines in the 1960s, and while technology that merges the two may sound far-fetched, the organization already proved it’s possible. Through its Revolutionizing Prosthetics program, DARPA created a prosthetic limb that disabled veterans can control using an electrode implanted in their brain. The system gives users “near-natural” arm and hand motion while transmitting signals that mirror a sense of touch back to their brain. ...

The N3 program is divided into two tracks: non-invasive interfaces that sit completely outside the body, and minutely invasive interfaces that could require users to ingest different chemical compounds to help external sensors read their brain activity. In both tracks, technologies must be “bidirectional,” meaning they can read brain activity and also write new information back to the user. ...

Minutely invasive interfaces that require users to ingest certain chemicals ... sounds like doctored foods could be involuntarily fed users or even sprayed in the air through drones and geo-engineering to force humans to interact. Lord have mercy. No doubt, certain well-paid employees or even military or prison populations might be involuntarily conscripted to participate in such studies.

Sadly, this is no longer the realm of science fiction, but the reality of draconian government intrusion into our lives. These technologies could destroy our faith. Is this just a part of the mark of the beast? Would humans become bionic beings devoid of faith and reason?

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
