Direct Neural Interface & DARPA - Dr Justin Sanchez
77,047
Published 2017-06-26
As director of DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office, Dr Justin Sanchez is part of a team that is looking at how to decode brain signals and use them to control robotic prosthetics.
His research includes the visualisation and decoding of brain activity, the development of devices that could help patients with memory deficits, and advanced prosthetic arm systems that could restore feeling and movement after an injury.
The former associate professor of Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience at the University of Miami has also looked at the potential of neurotechnology for treating paralysis, Tourette’s Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
In this talk Dr Justin Sanchez takes us through various real world applications of direct neural interfaces.

This is not a presentation, this is a confession.
-
😶 He said it right after the 5 min mark- their goal is to "learn to control complex systems" (i.e.; the human brain) which sounds to me like an awfully covert way of saying mind control ...
-
Society is about 30+ years behind on what they “allow” us to know. If it’s in a movie in Hollywood....it’s old news in real life. 😟
-
DARPA IS AN ADVANCED WEAPONS THINK TANK , WITH AN UNLIMITED BUDGET. DON.T EVER FORGET THAT!
-
Hmmm ... So an arm of the department of the military is interested in helping people with depression? Sounds fishy to me.
-
Reminds me of the early CIA experiments where they connected electrodes to insects and manipulated them like a robot. Darpa "to control complex systems"

By means of Remote Neural Manipulation I am being programmed in advance to speak without being fully aware of what I am being programmed to speak about. I wake up often at night and I find that I am in the process of being programmed to speak and answer questions and yet clusters of my brain cells appear to be inhibited during this process to the extent that I immediately can not remember what I am in the process of being programmed to speak about. Pain is being transmitted into my thighs and knees every time I ride my bicycle to the extent that I may not be able to ride it ever again. If that is the case I will remain at home for the rest of my life because I refuse to ever use public transport. My name is Gretta Fahey from Newbrook, Claremorris, Co. Mayo, Ireland.

THEY DO THIS WITHOUT CONSENTEND OF PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD,IS PURE TORTURE THIS PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS
-
Thumbs up for every mind control victim
-
Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should.
-
Wow, they really care about us. So much so, that they wanna reach right into our brains and help us out. Seems legit.
-
Painting a picture of how it helps depression and anxiety may not necessarily erase the conditions that caused the condition in the first place.
-
God help those among us who dare to think 'wrong thoughts'. George Orwell wrote his book 1984 as prophecy and a warning not as fiction.
-
Sounds like they want a little more control to me!. He literally said, "We want to be able to control complex things". OUR BRAINS!.
-
It's good to know that DARPA is so caring. There advancements in memory control sound harmless.
-
Genesis 3, the serpent said man will not surely die, and make no mistake this is where this is headed, they are probably 30 years ahead of what they are admitting to.
-
Who knows someone who thinks that there brain is hacked? There's evidence, motive and opportunity. How to verify and what to do?
-
if they can "restore" memory, they also can wipe it clean right?
-
There is also remote neural interfacing.
-
Since 1958, Darpa's mission statement is to stay ahead on technology. - That explains Facebook.
