Pentagon Research Could Make 'Brain Modem' A Reality (thedailybeast.com)
schwit1 writes: The Pentagon is attempting what was, until recently, an impossible technological feat -- developing a high-bandwidth neural interface that would allow people to beam data from their minds to external devices and back. That's right -- a brain modem. One that could allow a soldier to, for example, control a drone with his mind. On Feb. 8, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) -- the US military's fringe-science wing -- announced the first successful tests, on animal subjects, of a tiny sensor that travels through blood vessels, lodges in the brain and records neural activity. The so-called "stentrode," a combination stent and electrode, is the size of a paperclip and flexible. The tiny, injectable machine -- the invention of neurologist Tom Oxley and his team at the University of Melbourne in Australia -- could help researchers solve one of the most vexing problems with the brain modem: how to insert a transmitter into the brain without also drilling a hole in the user's head, a risky procedure under any circumstances.
I'm positive that an interface directly into your brain could never be abused, hacked, or compromised.

the targeted individuals have been complaining about the Pentagon using this level of technology on them for some time. implant are not new.
the Pentagon won't tell you they don't use implants in their already deployed synthetic telepathy system. they use radar, and the brain is scanned in real time generating better than FMRI maps, giving the DOD access to your thoughts and memories, communications, and commands to computers. then the system can beam in radar that alters the brain - given the brain is highly susceptible to electromagnetic influences.
the patent for this very system was filed in 1974. the capability was retro fitted into satellites and over the horizon radar by 1976. they already have the very capability they're talking about, using non invasive non implant interfaces, it's highly classified though.
get the patent and learn more at http://www.drrobertduncan.com/ - this guy Dr. Robert Duncan AB, SM, MBA, PhD worked on the project for the DOD/CIA/US DOJ/NASA/Navy/etc and has been blowing the whistle on mind control experiments and torture on civilians with it for some time. Been on TV and radio bout it, too. :)
I had the system used on me, and the cops have been using it to experiment with brain to brain surveillance/communications. It's deployed nationally, in use today, secretly on all Americans.
