NEUROTECHNOLOGY: CALL IT MIND CONTROL

BRETT MICHAEL VATCHER

The United States is currently testing advanced military-grade weapons and quantum computer systems on the unexpected global population. Targeted Individuals are tortured and tormented every day of their lives through DARPA’s Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) Program utilizing CIA agents – acting as Artificial Intelligence [AI]. In the future, the system will be marketed as deviceless “Spatial Technology.” 

IT’S SPATIAL: IT’S ALL IN MY HEAD.

Neurotechnology is a brain-computer interface [BCI] connecting to the central nervous system. Call it Mind Control. 

If one can control the mind, they can control the body.

MIND CONTROL:  Mind reading, mind and body control, 24/7 tracking, brainwashing, dream manipulation, spatial holograms as well as physical assaults and verbal harassment produced by CIA agents. This is accomplished by combining data sets from 5G towers and directed energy weapon satellites [DEW]. The system connects to the central nervous system – including the brain – and operates without a device. Invisible physical assaults are constant. Even if well documented are challenging to prove. The system can cause sensations anywhere on the body.

DOMAIN: Every human has a domain attached to their mind. This is where the agents broadcast their transmissions and control the victim. ​All living things have a domain. Plants, insects, animals and humans. Domains have infinite capabilities. The entire global population is replicated within human domains – in vertical cubicle formation. These replicants, as the agents call them, are tortured constantly. The replicants watch everything you do from your perception. This is the New World Order plan. The subdomain advent calendar is located behind the perception. Everything a person sees, hears and thinks is recorded utilizing a BCI. All memories from 2019-present can be viewed like a film. Domains are recorded, as well.

“EVERYTHING YOU DO, SAY AND THINK CAN – AND WILL – BE USED AGAINST YOU FOR ETERNITY. THIS IS THE NEW WORLD ORDER. PLEASE HOLD WHILE WE COLLECT YOUR THOUGHTS.” –New World Order

BRAINWASHING: Brainwashing the victim leads to behavioral modifications and mood control. The agents create “programs” that can be turned on or off at any time. Subliminal messages come in the form of faint visions flashing in the front of one’s mind. Victim’s vision becomes increasingly grainier over time – and depending on active sequencers.

The agents create intricate dream sequences to affect the victim’s subconscious. Dream sequences combine people, places and things that are familiar with the victim. They can be extremely lucid.

VOICE-TO-SKULL: DARPA started a program called LifeLog in 2003. They refer to it as the V2K era. It’s when they began recording transcripts of all of our thoughts. Mind-reading. This technology is also known as Microwave Hearing, Synthetic Telepathy, Voice-of-God weapon and is utilized for traceless mental torture. Agents constantly disrupt, censor and redirect the victim’s freedom of thought. Victim’s get wrongly labeled as mentally-ill [schizophrenia] when reporting on this. V2K is also used for deception and impersonation of voices.

News reports in the media describedLifeLog as the “diary to end all diaries — a multimedia, digital record of everywhere you go and everything you see, hear, read, say and touch”. –USA TODAY

NO PRIVACY: The system completely disregards fundamental human rights such as: privacy, mental and physical health, safety, data security, family security, financial security, etc. Freedom of thought – or cognitive liberty – is a God-given right. The technology was deployed without implementation of new laws and there is little to no oversight, as the CIA has full control of the system.

Welcome to Infinity. You’re Welcome.

Analysis of: "From Brain to AI and Back" (academic lecture by Ambuj Singh)

The term "document" in the following text refers to the video's subtitles.

Here is a summary of the key discussions:

The document describes advances in using brain signal recordings (fMRI) and machine learning to reconstruct images viewed by subjects.

Challenges include sparseness of data due to difficulties and costs of collecting extensive neural recordings from many subjects.

Researchers are working to develop robust models that can generalize reconstruction capabilities to new subjects with less extensive training data.

Applications in medical diagnosis and lie detection are possibilities, but risks of misuse and overpromising on capabilities must be carefully considered.

The genre of the document is an academic lecture presenting cutting-edge neuroscience and AI research progress to an informed audience.

Technical content is clearly explained at an advanced level with representative examples and discussion of challenges.

Ethical implications around informed consent, privacy, and dual-use concerns are acknowledged without overstating current capabilities.

While more information is needed, the presentation style and framing of topics skews towards empirical science over opinion or fiction.

A wide range of stakeholders stand to be impacted, so responsible development and governance of emerging neural technologies should involve multidisciplinary input.

Advancing both basic scientific understanding and more human-like machine learning is a long-term motivation driving continued innovation in this important field.

Here is a summary of the key points from the document:

The speaker discusses advances in using brain signal recordings (fMRI) to reconstruct images that a person is viewing by training AI/machine learning models.

An example is shown where the top row is the actual image viewed and the bottom row is the image reconstructed from the person's brain signals.

Larger datasets with brain recordings from multiple subjects are allowing better models to be developed that may generalize to new subjects.

Challenges include the sparseness of brain signal data due to the difficulty and costs of collecting it from many subjects.

A model is presented that maps brain signals to a joint embedding space of images and text, allowing reconstruction of novel images from new brain signals.

Examples are shown where the reconstructed images match fairly well or not as well depending on image details and semantics.

Issues around ethics, risks of misuse, and questions of explaining and improving the models are discussed.

Ongoing work aims to address challenges around transferring models between subjects and measuring reconstruction performance.

Based on the content and style of the document, it appears to be an academic lecture or presentation.

Key evidence points include:

The document consists primarily of a speaker talking and presenting slides/examples to an audience, as indicated by phrases like "Let me just start with this" and an applause at the end.

Technical topics from neuroscience and machine learning/AI are discussed in detail, such as fMRI brain recordings, reconstructing images from brain signals, modeling approaches, dataset descriptions, and challenges/questions in the field.

Academic concepts like human subjects studies, building models, transferring learning, and measuring performance are referred to.

The presentation of information is intended to educate the audience on the state of the field and cuttting edge research, not just entertain.

There are no narratives, characters or creative storytelling elements - it adheres strictly to explaining complex technical content.

Therefore, based on the instructive/educational style and focus on explaining advanced technical research, I would classify the genre of this document as an academic lecture/presentation intended to inform an audience about progress in the domain of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.

Here are some of the key stakeholders that could be affected by the content and topics discussed in this document:

Neuroscience researchers - Directly interested and impacted by advances reported from their field of study. Progress informs future research directions.

AI/machine learning researchers - Models and challenges discussed could inspire new research at the intersection of AI and neuroscience. Transfer of model techniques.

Medical/clinical communities - Potential applications to diagnosis, personalized medicine if models can accurately reconstruct brain states. Raises ethical issues.

Government research agencies - Fund future related research based on understanding of opportunities and challenges conveyed. Evaluates societal impacts.

General public - Increased understanding of science helps engagement but topics like brain reading raise public concerns around privacy, consent if translated beyond research.

Research participants - Summary does not disclose identities but motivates others to contribute data for progress. Well-being depends on responsible use of data.

Technology companies - Commercial opportunities from real-world applications but also reputational risks if misused. Data ownership questions.

Academic institutions - Collaborations, education of next generations of researchers on cutting-edge topics is enabled through open dissemination of knowledge.

Overall the document provides value to a wide range of stakeholders by communicating the state and potential implications of this multidisciplinary area of neuroscience and AI research. Responsible stewardship is important given several ethical considerations.

Here is a summary of the key points about advances in using brain signal recordings from the document:

Researchers are using fMRI to record brain signals as people view images, in order to reconstruct the viewed images from the brain activity patterns alone.

Machine learning models, especially neural networks, are allowing researchers to train mappings from brain signals to representations of semantic content like images and text.

Examples show the capability of reconstructing fairly accurate images that a person viewed, based solely on their brain activity recordings during viewing.

Larger datasets with multiple subjects are important to develop models that may generalize beyond individual subjects. However, fMRI data is very difficult and expensive to collect at scale.

Advances now allow reconstruction of more complex stimuli like full stories a person reads, not just static images.

Ongoing work aims to better understand brain learning processes and apply those principles to more human-like machine learning architectures.

Analyzing brain recordings also has potential applications for medical diagnosis, lie detection, personalized medicine as models improve.

Ethics must be carefully considered to ensure technologies for reading neural signals are developed and applied responsibly and avoid misuse or privacy violations.

So in summary, the document outlines significant progress using machine learning on brain recordings to reconstruct sensory experiences, with applications and open questions that can further both neuroscience and AI.

Here is a summary of the key points about the sparseness of brain signal data:

Collecting fMRI brain signal recordings from large numbers of subjects is extremely challenging and costly due to the resources and time required.

Each recording session with a single subject takes considerable time, as the number of images/stimuli that can be presented is limited within a session.

Collecting data from a single subject sufficient for training complex models may require recording sessions over multiple days or weeks.

As a result, publicly available datasets typically contain recordings from only a small number of subjects, often under 10.

The sparseness of data makes it difficult to develop robust models that will generalize well to new subjects that lack extensive recordings.

Researchers aim to better leverage smaller datasets by training models that can reconstruct novel stimuli from just a subset of training data per subject.

If successful, this could enable more efficient data collection, such as obtaining usable models from a subject after a single shorter session rather than many long sessions.

However, overcoming the sparseness of brain signal data remains a major challenge holding back progress in the field. Larger collaborative datasets are needed.

So in summary, sparse data severely limits progress but also motivates techniques to optimize learning from limited samples per subject.

Here is a summary of key points regarding risks of misuse from the document:

Advances in reconstructing cognitive states like images viewed from brain recordings raise potential dual-use concerns if technologies are not regulated.

Applications in medical diagnosis and lie detection could help many, but lead to issues if used without consent or for non-medical surveillance.

Overly ambitious claims about capabilities need to be avoided to prevent misleading expectations that could fuel inappropriate usage assumptions.

Privacy and security of sensitive neural data must be prioritized to prevent potential misuse for profiling, identification or manipulation without oversight.

Commercial pressures may incentivize premature deployment before understanding implications, so continued research is important.

Public education about limitations and complexities involved can help curb fears that fuel misuse if capabilities are overestimated.

Multidisciplinary cooperation ensures societal and ethical issues are considered proactively rather than reactively addressed later.

Governance frameworks may be needed to steer applications toward public benefit rather individual or state abuse of personal mental information.

The speaker acknowledges misuse risks to inform discussion and underscore the importance of ongoing examination of new neural technologies through multidisciplinary lens including ethics.

Based on the content and style of presentation, my evaluation of the document status is:

Science vs Fiction: Clearly grounded in science as it discusses ongoing empirical research studies using neuroimaging and machine learning techniques. No fictional or hypothetical elements.

Empirical vs Anecdotal: Empirical in nature, rooted in dataset collection from human subjects and quantitative modeling/evaluation, not personal experience. While data quantities are limited, research follows scientific method.

IBM, Inclusive Brains Use AI and Quantum for BMI Research

Inclusion Brains

IBM and Inclusive Brains Improve Brain-Machine Interfaces with AI, Quantum, and Neurotechnologies

IBM and Inclusive Brains have partnered to study cutting-edge AI and quantum machine learning methods to improve multi-modal brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). On June 3, 2025, this agreement was launched to improve brain activity classification.

This collaborative study seeks socially beneficial innovation. BMIs may help people with disabilities, especially those who cannot use their hands or voice, regain function. By letting people control linked devices and digital settings without touching or speaking, BMIs can help patients regain control. With this study's findings, Inclusive Brains aims to expand educational and career prospects. In addition to aiding crippled people, the alliance wants to improve brain activity classification and understanding to help the public avert physical and mental health issues.

IBM AI and quantum expertise will strengthen Inclusive Brains' multimodal AI systems in the collaboration endeavour. The real-time customisation of BMIs to each user's needs and talents is being developed to increase autonomy and agency.

Comparing brain activity categorisation accuracy to current models is a major investigation phase. Using IBM Granite foundation models to generate, review, and test code helps determine the best machine learning algorithmic combinations for brain activity classification and interpretation. The project will also examine automatic selection of the optimal algorithms for specific users and their use in “mental commands” to control workstations.

The terms “mental commands,” “mind-controlled,” and “mind-written” are simplified for this study. They don't mean brainwaves read words or commands. A multimodal AI system learns from brainwaves, eye movements, facial expressions, and other physiological data. These mixed signals help the system determine human intent and operate without touch or speech.

The alliance plans several open science research publications to benefit scientists and the public. The study will also investigate quantum machine learning brain activity classification. Both organisations are committed to ensuring the study follows responsible technology principles, which include ethical concerns and neurotechnology and neurological data usage recommendations.

IBM France president Béatrice Kosowski is happy to engage with innovative firms like Inclusive Brains and responsibly provide access to IBM's AI and quantum technologies to promote healthcare.

Professor Olivier Oullier, CEO and co-founder of Inclusive Brains, said the collaborative study will assist generate highly customised machine-user interactions, signifying a shift towards unique solutions that meet each person's needs, body, and cognitive style. Inclusive Brains has demonstrated multimodal interface Prometheus BCI through public “mind-controlled” acts like tweeting, writing a parliamentary amendment, and using an arm exoskeleton.

In the last decade, BMIs have become more prevalent since they connect the brain to a computer, usually for controlling external equipment. They are useful for studying brain physiology, including learning and neuronal behaviour, as well as restoring function. This collaborative study will improve these fascinating technologies' capabilities and accessibility.

In conclusion

IBM and Inclusive Brains investigated BMI technology. The collaboration uses cutting-edge AI and quantum machine learning to classify brain activity patterns. Enabling “mental commands” based on physiological signals aims to promote disability accessibility and inclusion. Ethics and responsibility in neurotechnology use are also stressed in the study.

A Glimpse into the Future of Neuralink and BCIs

Imagine controlling a device in your home simply by thinking about it or typing an email without reaching for a keyboard. This is becoming a reality with the rise of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). Pioneered by innovators like Elon Musk and his company Neuralink, BCIs promise to transform our relationship with technology. As we explore ongoing research and data, it's clear that BCIs could significantly reshape society.

Understanding Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)

BCIs create a communication bridge between the brain and external devices. This can happen in two main ways: invasive techniques that require surgery, such as Neuralink’s electrode implants, and non-invasive methods like EEG caps, which measure electrical activity from the scalp. For instance, Neuralink's focus is on embedding tiny electrodes within the brain to read and interpret neural signals, thus enabling users to control devices through thought alone.

A compelling study published in Nature showcased a monkey that learned to move a computer cursor just by thinking about the actions. Over time, the monkey’s accuracy improved significantly, highlighting the adaptability of BCIs for more intricate tasks.

Currently, the neurotechnology market is on a growth trajectory, with spending expected to exceed $18 billion by 2027. This increase in investment underscores the potential for BCIs to redefine human-computer interactions.

Neuralink: Pioneering the Frontier

Founded in 2016 by Musk, Neuralink is focused on developing devices that connect seamlessly with the human brain. Early strides include a prototype that communicates with neurons in pigs. A significant instance was when a pig named Gertrude had a Neuralink device implanted. She demonstrated her ability to interact with digital platforms, marking a milestone for the company.

In 2021, Musk indicated that human trials would begin soon. This essential step could confirm the safety and practicality of these systems in real-world settings. The aim is to assist individuals with severe neurological conditions, such as paralysis, by enabling them to control devices like computers or wheelchairs through thoughts alone.

The Science Behind BCIs: Data and Statistics

Research in the BCI sector is rapidly expanding. A noteworthy study from the Journal of Neural Engineering investigated 10 patients with locked-in syndrome, revealing that, with the right algorithms, their thoughts could be translated into actions with over 70% accuracy.

Another revealing study from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) involved 25 participants playing a brain-controlled video game. Results showed that their accuracy improved by nearly 50% within just three gaming sessions. This indicates that with practice, users can enhance their brain signal interpretation and control capabilities.

Experts predict the BCI market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 16.4% through 2027. This growth reflects the increasing enthusiasm from both investors and researchers.

Applications Beyond Gaming and Telepathy

While the idea of mind-controlled gaming is thrilling, BCIs hold promise in various fields. Here are some exciting applications:

Medical Rehabilitation

BCIs could reshape rehabilitation, particularly for stroke and serious injury patients. By leveraging the brain's capacity to rewire itself, BCIs can facilitate targeted therapies that strengthen specific neural pathways. For example, studies have shown that individuals with spinal cord injuries have successfully performed motor tasks using neural signals from BCIs, accomplishing results comparable to those with uninjured spinal functions.

Advancements in Communication

BCIs could revolutionize communication for individuals with conditions like ALS. Imagine expressing thoughts without ever speaking a word. Research is already underway to transform neuroprosthetic signals into speech, indicating that real-time thought-based communication may soon be a reality.

Ethical Considerations and Challenges

Like any cutting-edge technology, BCIs present significant ethical dilemmas, such as privacy issues and the risk of misuse. The potential for unauthorized access to someone's thoughts raises serious concerns.

Another challenge is ensuring equal access to these technologies. Those who can afford BCIs may gain considerable advantages over others. Therefore, careful regulations and societal discussions are essential to navigate these risks while maximizing benefits.

The Future of Thought-Based Typing

One promising advancement for BCIs is thought-based typing systems. Early tests show that individuals can select letters on a screen merely by thinking about them. According to ABI Research, the market for thought-controlled keyboard interfaces could reach 1.3 million units globally by 2025, illustrating how quickly these advancements might integrate into everyday life.

Gaming: The Next Dimension

The gaming industry is on the verge of a revolution, with BCIs offering players an entirely new experience. Imagine controlling games with your thoughts. A study from Dartmouth College found that players using BCIs felt a stronger emotional connection to game characters compared to traditional gaming, creating more immersive experiences.

The Promise of Telepathic Communication

One of the most ambitious ideas associated with BCIs is telepathic communication. While still theoretical, studies show that direct exchanges of thoughts are possible. A collaborative study demonstrated that participants wearing BCI headsets could send simple messages via brain signals. While not fully developed, these findings lay the groundwork for future advancements.

Imagining a Thought-Driven Future

As we continue to witness progress within BCIs, our future looks promising. Neuralink and other companies are striving to erase barriers between human thought and machine communication, making strides in areas like medical rehabilitation and gaming.

While there will certainly be challenges and ethical questions to address, the advantages of BCIs could redefine how we experience the world. Envisioning a future filled with mind-controlled computing and real-time communication offers an exciting glimpse into what may come. As technology continues to advance, we may find that the distinction between human thought and digital interactions becomes increasingly blurred, leading to a richer human experience.
