Remote Control for Humans?
FatMacDaddy writes "The SFGate is reporting on a remote control for manipulating humans through electrical stimulation of the inner ear nerves.The author of this article describes his experience with having a "remote control for humans" device used on him. The developers hope to use this with video games and other entertainment, but it might also be used as a weapon to disable people. An interesting read with perhaps some disturbing implications. Better get a second layer on those tinfoil hats!"
I guess it could be used as a weapon... if you could convince everyone to wear the required head-gear all the time...

That's odd...I always thought remote control humans were impossible. Besides, my voodoo dolls work just fine for the time being.

Sounds a little too much like, http://www.hackcanada.com/homegrown/wetware/ to me. However, its not so much remote, you have to be sitting right in front of the device, literally wearing it. But it opens your eyes to the implications.

I swear it wasn't me! They were controlling my fingers!
Back in my day we used to use remote controles on cars.
According to the article, all you'd need to do is sit or lie down and remove said headset to defeat it. This is *willful* remote control. The article's still worth a read, though.
That episode of Star Trek where those aliens steal Spock's brain. Scotty rigs up a remote control for Spock's body and they all beam down to the planet to search for it. Just goes to show you that all important modern tech was first shown on Star Trek.

"Better get a second layer on those tinfoil hats!"
Or just don't put on the headgear that controls you.
Either way, I'm not going to work at any job that requires me to wear this remote control, unless it's wireless. Wearing headgear all day with a wire attached would probably give me a sore neck by causing restricted head movements.
Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
I, for one, welcome our new inner-ear remote-control overlords.
A mute button for the folks would have been handy when I was a teenager...I'd be a much better guitar player today...
Previously reported on slashdot too.
as long as you have their headset on?
In a sense all humans have always been "remote controlled": biologically and socio-culturally.
These "remote controls" are actually extremely sophisticated.
I wonder who holds the patent on them.

Firstly, why would a Telco be developing this technology? It doesn't appear to further their business.
Then it dawned on me. With Avian Flu concerns, sending packets via that method is dangerous RFC 1149. Obviously if the Telco's controlled humans, they could deliver packets with them via a maximum of 6 hops (six degrees of separation).
I for one welcome our new communication specification. Long live IPviaH.

*It's not what you can do for the Dark Side but what the Dark Side can do for you!*
in order to weaponize this system, you'd have to figure out how to attatch electrodes behind the lobes of someone's ears at range -- and i challenge anyone to figure out how to do THAT. As it stands, vestibular stim is a cool new idea on how to improve balance control in risky environments (high iron construction workers faced with strong winds?), or the elderly and people with some form of vestibular impairment. I know of at least once case of essentially permanent dizziness, in which the patient suffered an accident that took out half of the vestibular system, so he is only getting feedback from one side of his body.
As a student at one of the big universities where balance control and vestibular control is studied -- let me be the first to say that all of this is HIGHLY alpha. At best, it's proof-of-concept only. I wouldn't be worried about being "remote controlled" -- but hey, add this to a VR sim and things might get better than the crappy sim software/hardware that we've had since the mid90's -- or do some of the stuff i mentioned above.
filter: +3. Hey, look! all the trolls went away!
Women have used a similar technique to control men for thousands of years, but they don't focus on the ears.
We should get the whole 'local control' thing down first.

No, ma'am, I'm just a regular Slashdot reader.
Add multiple restraining straps that can only be removed by a key, fingerprint, iris scan combo. Voila you can now recieve defense funding. With that funding find a way to insert it in a person and control them remotely through satellite broadcasts no matter where they are. Then add a self-discruct/kill this person NOW command. Now market this as an upper and get lots of people to implant it in themselves. Bam world-domination!

Oh well, what the hell...
you might be able do it with the latest long distance taser like plasma projectors. Instead of the wires they project plasma, then send the disabling current like a normal taser. Sorry, no link, but I think it was covered here last year. So, for remote control, instead of a disabling current, just the small current that induces the sense of falling, or nausea, or what-ever-have you. I bet DARPA et al is all over this sort of tech in the black ops areas. Imagine if they could project over an entire region a current that makes people just walk in small circles, or just lay down or i makes them so nauseous all they can do is huddle and barf their brains out, or running screaming in fear from..nothing.. Complete control at the flick of a switch. What would tech like that be worth in terms of military industrial complex dollars? Mega billions? If this level of tech is what is admitted to in public, just think occams razor, past historical precedent of them throwing serious cash at every weapon system imaginable, and extrapolate how far along they might be in the skunk works areas. We only get to see on the public internet stuff that is maybe three steps down (someting like that) from currently running and prototyped.
While I don't see this being used directly as a weapon, I can see the Pentagon plucking the National Guard from their shoot-to-kill mission in New Oraq, wiring them up with these headsets, and sending them off to Iraq Senior. With these devices, you can make damned sure your wet-behind-the-ears recruits will run full-speed into a hostile situtation without stopping to think about the possible danger to themselves.
And it won't be long before they can control more than just running in a particular direction. Next step: that pesky trigger finger.
My question is this. Will it run on my boss?

From what the article said, it only affects balance, i.e., you walk to the right because the electrical stimulation inside your ear makes you feel as though your balance is off. I s'pose that by wearing t3h headgear, someone could make you walk off a cliff... or stamp an embarrassing message into the sand.... or make you fall down.
Don't use headphones from strangers! :-D

This was demoed at Siggraph in Los Angeles in the Emerging Technologies booth. It really appeared it worked, people wearing it stumbled around like they were drunk, but could really be made to stumble in a desired direction. I did not get to try it, there was a very long line. But surely there is somebody reading Slashdot who did.
Didn't try it because of the really long line. It was probably the coolest thing in the Emerging Technologies area. Anyway...basically it can make you drift left or right while walking by messing with your sense of balance ( inner ear ). People were dramatically affected at first but many people were able to compensate after only a few seconds. While cool, it is hardly as dramatic as the article would suggest.

Given that "tinfoil" is really aluminium, it will conduct electricity. If I'm understanding this correctly, won't putting a "second layer on the tinfoil hat" have...ummm...an undesirable outcome? Now, if you were to ground the hat, you might have something. Perhaps if you made sure that you were always standing in a puddle of saltwater?
As for getting people to wear the "required headware", outfit it so that it will just shove a big mac or a krispy kreme in their mouth at the push of a button. That'll get about 90% of the overweight American population to willingly don the thing, no matter what else it does to them.

What would be even more insidious is the idea of some kind of intelligence amplified so greatly verses your own that you could be just going about your merry way doing every thing of your own free will but in a human imperceivable way completely controlled by said super-intelligence.
See the Empire Ship entry on Orion's Arm for a snippet that refers to the idea.
That kind of remote control would really suck.
Shh.
There is a disease where people lose the ability to use their inner ears for balance (Menier's disease).
I would expect that people who had it for a period of time would be more or less immune to these weapons, being in the state you describe so constantly that their brain eventually adjusts (though the guy I knew with this ailment wore heavy boots to provide other sources of balance feedback)...
Who knows, maybe there will be a new job market for those with Menier's Disease...

This is not as new...it was presented in this year's SIGGRAPH, in the Emerging Technologies section. There we could try it out, and we actually remotely controlled our friends, and it really works - they told you to walk straight wearing this special device, and then someone else would control what path you'd actually take with a remote control.
Remote control allows for more efficiently slavery.
Hmmm, this sounds more like the droud from Larry Niven's Tales of Gil the ARM than anything else. Is this going to produce a generation of current addicts?
Research done at MIT shows that tinfoil hats actually amplify government mind control beams. Because they are not fully enclosed, they actually end up acting as a sort of antenna. Yes, that's right: Wearing a tinfoil hat is exactly what the shadow government wants you to do!
I'm upgrading to lead foil.
I did get an interesting effect from it: due to the high resistance of my skin I have to turn the device WAY up to get any response and during the strongest pulses, I saw flashes of light that were not present outside of my optic nerve(it wasn't arcing in other words).
Anyway, as I read the article, it's less about remote control humans and more about being able to affect what they are feeling which is scary but with this version they'd have to sneak up on you and covertly put these things on your skull...with good electrode contact..and probably lube to prevent burning. If it does use the same technology as what I have then you need to know that there are 3 different ways(at least) that we sense motion and the inner ear is only one. The other two are visual and the type of feeling you get in your joints when you accelerate on, say, a bus; this is aka proprioceptive I think. If they didn't have something that would give you a slightly harder time to keep your balance(we used the Tempurpedic(tm) memory foam because it shifts acording to the weight and temperature. Without this, you don't feel any shift in your joints so if your visual environment didn't move either, you'd mostly discard the signal. It's because of the "rule" of 'virtual reality': you have to fool 2 of the 3 ways we sense motion for the brain to accept it as real. And despite all this, with a slight amount of concentration, you can see through the illusion. Maybe what they have is different..I'll have to research to find out now.

The article mentions using this technology to allow people to experience what it's like to be in a racecar or to feel the motions of an olympic competitor. Couldn't this technology be used to teach people to move like an olympian? Maybe, if combined with training, it could speed up learning a new sport or technique. Wait, I'm forgetting, this is Slashdot, does anybody here know what sports are? :P
Usually Star Trek, even the original show is not cheesy. Hard sci-fi it ain't but they usually don't give the impression they think their viewers are idiots.
But "Spock's Brain" is definitely some stinky cheese. Aside from Star Trek V, and the next gen episode where everyone devolves into creatures which, mostly they didn't actually evolve from (so bad I have never looked back to learn the name of the episode).
Actually, I try to predict the byline on Slashdot stories and I think this is definitely from the missed opportunity department...

I saw this some time ago (august 5) on Engadget. That story also linked to a movie of a remote controlled girl.
Enjoy.
Most anyone (here (I'd hope)) can build a working galvanic vestibulator in their home for under $5. It's just a 0.1hz~70hz squarewave sinking ~20 milliamps of current through your neck. You can easily do that with a 555 in astable mode (R1=2kOhm,R2=26kOhm,C=.1uF--it'll have a frequency of about 27hz and a duty cycle near %50), a 9v battery or two, some pennies, cotton, and a bit of saltwater. Place the ghetto electrodes beind your ears. Play with the frequency in the above range by using knob potentiometers. I've found ~15-30hz to be best.
Even more fun can be had with a cheap Atmel ATtiny2313 8bit microcontroller (or PIC if you're that type). They cost about ~$2 each but you can sample them from large manufacturers for free (I've sampled 9 ATtiny2313 for free now). They can be programmed right from the serial port in simple (you can ignore the LEDs, but hey leave them in and you have a persistance of vision toy too), or slightly less simple manners.
If you just want to test the effect out then just the 9vs, a few pennies, some cotton, salt water, and a little wire will do. Simply series the batteries and make electrodes out of the materials previously mentioned, warm water works best. Apply the electrodes to your mastoid proccesses and you'll feel the 'acceleration'...and a bit of stinging, but not too bad. (It'd be best if you had a soldering iron, but you could go without if really needed.)

This mind control headgear will be used to restrict the movement of prioners. They will be unable to walk in anything but in circles, round and around, so they have no chance to escape from the prison's courtyard.
It will be used by police and SWATs to force expendable people act as a courier or a human shield in hostage taking situations. Think Chechnya.
Then it will be advertised as beneficial for the entire population and it will be surgically implanted in every newborn baby. You will not be able to march in protest any more for you will be forcibly reversed, but will be compelled to walk whenever the gov't wants to make a big self-glorification parade march the soviet russian / north korean style.
It will be used to impose racial zoning, for blacks' headgears will forcibly turn them away from white-only areas or seats. Poor Rosa Parks died in vain.

Whats so disturbing about being able to put people off balance (which

choose!

Except the way that this works it with messing with the inner-ear balance. As I understand it, most sophisticated interrogation involves disorientation of the subject more than it does pain.

While I realize this device cannot turn a person into a robot, I wonder if it could be used to completly paralyze prisoners during transportation, or implanted so that they could be paralyzed durring a riot. I am assuming if you give a constant signle a person would adapt rather quickly(I have not RTFA) so you may need to alter the signle(from left to right or something).

With that said, there was a company in the mid to late 1990's which tried to build a development market with a beta-test vestibular stimulator device, meant to be used with a VR HMD system, in order to help avoid or minimize simulator sickness by using such a system to simulate movement. IIRC, the device was a head mounted system that fit over your head, and had electrodes behind the ears (like the parent describes) and ones on your forehead (can't remember if it was one or two - placed in the center or to the sides just inside of the temples, respectively). They had beta-test units, and for something like $300.00 you could order a unit, plus an API for Windows (DirectX) that allowed you to control the device to simulate motion. It was said to work very well, but they became a casualty of the .COM bubble (and the VR hype bubble, too).
Also know that these such vestibular stimulators have been used by the medical profession to treat and study such things as vertigo and such. These medical devices are probably similar in scope to the crude (though likely working!) device described by the parent. They are said to cause nausea, diziness, a sense of motion, etc - a very interesting thing to think about.
