DOD binoculars will link soldiers brains with software

http://www.wired.com/gadgets/miscellaneous/news/2007/05/binoculars

Sharon Weinberg has an article in Wired Magazine
from May 1,2007 publicizing upcoming military
technology. The article reported that
binoculars are being designed which interface
with the soldier's brain waves, alerting him
or her to danger that is initially
subconsciously perceived by the frontal lobes
of the brain.

The human brain is electrical and that electrical
activity can be read and deciphered. Apparently,
the DOD has authorized Ms. Weinberger to disclose
what was called "a signature brainwave" for
danger.

This new technology will read the unconscious
signal and relay that back to the soldier to
accelerate the reaction time and decision
making process.

This article indirectly confirms from the DOD
what many people have known for quite a while:
the DOD through DARPA (the classified advanced
weapons development and funding agency) has
been researching methodologies for reading
one's private mind.

This latest disclosure confirms that this
research is well past the "research" stage.
DARPA is now constructing technologies that
will actually apply mind reading.

Big Brother has just gotten bigger. This
is Big Brother on steriods.

This is just the beginning of the
public revelation of the military realm
of (brain) neural-computer interfacing
and remote mind reading of even
pre-conscious and unconscious thoughts.

The intelligent civilian should be paying
very close attention to this research.

Stay tuned for further developments.
