DARPA Launches New Program to Connect Brains to Computers with Implantable ChipBy Nicholas West DARPA Press Release A new DARPA program aims to develop an implantable neural interface able to provide unprecedented signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth between the human brain and the digital world. The interface would serve as a translator, converting between the electrochemical language used by neurons in the brain and the ones and zeros that constitute the language of information technology. The goal is to achieve this communications link in a biocompatible device no larger than one cubic centimeter in size, roughly the volume of two nickels stacked back to back. The program, Neural Engineering System Design (NESD), stands to dramatically enhance research capabilities in neurotechnology and provide a foundation for new therapies. Todays best brain-computer interface systems are like two supercomputers trying to talk to each other using an old 300-baud modem, said Phillip Alvelda, the NESD program manager. Imagine what will become possible when we upgrade our tools to really open the channel between the human brain and modern electronics. Among the programs potential applications are devices that could compensate for deficits in sight or hearing by feeding digital auditory or visual information into the brain at a resolution and experiential quality far higher than is possible with current technology. Neural interfaces currently approved for human use squeeze a tremendous amount of information through just 100 channels, with each channel aggregating signals from tens of thousands of neurons at a time. The result is noisy and imprecise. In contrast, the NESD program aims to develop systems that can communicate clearly and individually with any of up to one million neurons in a given region of the brain. Achieving the programs ambitious goals and ensuring that the envisioned devices will have the potential to be practical outside of a research setting will require integrated breakthroughs across numerous disciplines including neuroscience, synthetic biology, low-power electronics, photonics, medical device packaging and manufacturing, systems engineering, and clinical testing. In addition to the programs hardware challenges, NESD researchers will be required to develop advanced mathematical and neuro-computation techniques to first transcode high-definition sensory information between electronic and cortical neuron representations and then compress and represent those data with minimal loss of fidelity and functionality. To accelerate that integrative process, the NESD program aims to recruit a diverse roster of leading industry stakeholders willing to offer state-of-the-art prototyping and manufacturing services and intellectual property to NESD researchers on a pre-competitive basis. In later phases of the program, these partners could help transition the resulting technologies into research and commercial application spaces. To familiarize potential participants with the technical objectives of NESD, DARPA will host a Proposers Day meeting that runs Tuesday and Wednesday, February 2-3, 2016, in Arlington, Va. The Special Notice announcing the Proposers Day meeting is available at https://www.fbo.gov/spg/ODA/DARPA/CMO/DARPA-SN-16-16/listing.html. More details about the Industry Group that will support NESD is available at https://www.fbo.gov/spg/ODA/DARPA/CMO/DARPA-SN-16-17/listing.html. A Broad Agency Announcement describing the specific capabilities sought is available at: http://go.usa.gov/cP474. DARPA anticipates investing up to $60 million in the NESD program over four years. NESD is part of a broader portfolio of programs within DARPA that support President Obamas brain initiative.

What you hear/read about in brain technology has been developed in secret since the 1950s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSN9U7m3CZk (please watch entire vid/doc and show notes for further research and info) What does Billions upon Billions spent by our government on brain mapping the human mind, psychotronic touchless torture, targeted individuals, self-replicating nano-bots, Morgellons disease, smart dust, geoengineering, scalar waves, GWEN towers, Dwave Quantum super computers, Black goo, Gray Goo, Goo-gle and Archons have in common? They are all being used together for a mass mind control agenda using wireless remote brain mapping to be able to override ones own thoughts, feelings and actions from anywhere in the world, anytime using smart dust released from geoengineering smart dust carrying planes released into the air to enter our bodies with sub atomic particulate matter. This is the ultimate mind control technology where machines are taking control of human minds around the world since at least the mid 1970s to the point where we are all Phase I affected and many TIs (targeted individuals) are Phase II where voices are inside your head, body functions are controlled remotely and lives are ruined to the pt. that some TIs commit suicide to escape the torture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOuMcx8p-7Y This sounds like a great idea reminds me of minority report.. Ya this isnt new, theyre probably already injecting your babies at birth with all their new crap to test long term and soon not only will you not be able to stop it but most of the population have already been brainwashed into wanting to pay for it and enforce it on others by force, as with vaccines. You know what though, this is why you are being depopulated. You people dont really think any of this will ever happen do you? Centuries away if it does. No shortage of delusional tyrants in this world.
