BRAINWAVES CONVERTED TO SPEECH
Something has switched off their moral compass, and that something may be in part technological in addition to the usual ideological explanations.… In my book Microcosm and Medium I pointed out that this type of research has been going on since at least the 1970s, if not before, and that by that time, some 2000 words had been “decoded” and their brainwave templates recognized and compiled into what I called “electro-encephalographic dictionaries.” … to decode speech from brainwave patterns associated with certain words is, in effect, the compilation of precisely such a dictionary. It's the first, and most essential, step to the invasion of the last bastion of human privacy itself: that interior conversation that all of us carry about in our minds all the time. It's an essential component and first step to being able to listen into those conversations and, perhaps, by using those brainwave templates, to modulate those patterns on microwaves and talk back to the individual concerned, to literally project a conversation into the brain remotely through standard broadcast technology concepts.
at the minimum, we have confirmation of the basic idea behind “electro-encephalographic dictionaries,” for to decode speech from brainwave patterns associated with certain words is, in effect, the compilation of precisely such a dictionary. It's the first, and most essential, step to the invasion of the last bastion of human privacy itself: that interior conversation that all of us carry about in our minds all the time. It's an essential component and first step to being able to listen into those conversations and, perhaps, by using those brainwave templates, to modulate those patterns on microwaves and talk back to the individual concerned, to literally project a conversation into the brain remotely through standard broadcast technology concepts.
Tip of the Hat to Ed Jewett for the pointer.
