Since the invention of the EEG, S-F writers produced many books with
stories about pumping out the content of your brain and putting it in
another brain, or taking the control of your soul or willingness and
driving you as a robot. We wil not talk about the well known MK-ULTRA
project that never ended up on any real functioning device approaching
this result. What they did reach is well described in the still suspicious
book "Trance formation of America" (www.trance-formation.com).
Our recent researched demonstrate however that it is possible that
something is happening or close to.
We will explain two different technologies, that can provide some
breakthrough in the mind control.
--[ 1. MRI
By enhancing the resolution of Magnetic Resonance Imagery device, we
should be able to do nice things such putting ideas or remembering in the
brain of someone.
There are today multiples ways to measure brain activity. Brain activity
is also brain content, to some extent, depending what you are measuring
and what you are looking for.
The most advanced works achieved around what's in the brain is the
BlueBrain project, invented by Henry Markram at EPFL in Switzerland. His
lab is using a 10.000 CPU Blue Gene type IBM supercomputer, and a super
Silicon Graphic computer with 16 graphic cards and 64 Itanium 2 CPU to
display processing results. He did start by making the inventory of all
neurons types and response type, sorting out few tens types of each. Next
he built devices to digitize the geometry of each type of neuron,
following the path of dendrites and axons, branch by branch, stroke by
stroke, change in diameter, etc. A typical neuron ends up with about
10.000 XYZ 3D coordinates. Next, he packed 10.000 neurons of multiple
types in a very narrow space; 5mm by 1mm. This is what scientists name a
microcolumn of the neocortex. Then he put electrical input at the entry of
the "network" and did a simulation, using the few tens of responses found
in these neurons. The result is a modified electrical state of all these
branches: 100 millions branches! Each one with a different electrical
level. This density of neurons produces short circuits between each of
them, the synapse. Such micro column can contains up to a trillion
synapses!
From a mechanical point of view, this is not anymore a network, this is a
dense matter with different electrical level at each cubic 5 micron. You
should see the neuronal network as the processing device of the I/O, when
the remaining electrical levels are the memory of the
events/habits/experiences.
Now, let's say that a lab can produce a MRI device with such resolution.
It will measure the electrical level each 5 micron, and do it for a
specific area, let's say to start easy, the area of both hands. Ok, we
have to store few terabytes of data, a quite easy job today.
Now, let's take somebody, and put his head in another device, a three
dimensional phased array radar, or more precisely, a micro wave transducer
(only the emitting part of the radar). This device can browse space
without movement. By putting two perpendicular transducers next to the
brain, they can send two beams in it, and where they cross, create an
electrical pulse with an intensity equal to the sum of both beams, also
equal to the original.
Doing so, it's possible with a super high resolution system, to pinpoint
each cell that was acquired (peeked) in the "donor", and poke its value
in the other brain.
If the donor is a good violin player, the receiver, when waking up, will
feel as if he has new hands, and be surprised how easy he can play violin
(but maybe not Mozart yet).
A step further, we can peek and poke other areas of the brain, like the
one containing experience, skills, visual scenes. With this last example,
a criminal or a suspect refusing to talk, can be peeked from the visual
cortex, and the result can be poked in another brain. The receiver will
"see" new scenes, and maybe the one of the crime.
The better the resolution, the higher the resolution of the remembering.
It's not mandatory to match neuron by neuron, from the donor to the
receiver, or stroke by stroke, or synapse by synapse. The density is so
high that we can really see the memory inside the neocortex as being
stored in a three dimensional matrix. Whatever the network, as soon as it
is the area used to do a specific operation (see Broca's areas) like
hands, speech, vision, etc. the "knowledge" stored during years is stored
as electrical levels in a matrix. The neuronal network will find back it's
way through the different channels of higher voltage poked in the matrix,
reconnect instantaneously synapses to recreate missing bridges.
--[ 2. Total Recall and Arnold Schwarzenegger are not so far!
Here is a metaphor to better understand the concept:
Think about a country: villages and inhabitants are there, connected with
road networks.
Move houses and inhabitants in another place, keeping topology. Wherever
they end up, they will immediately recreate roads and path to reconnects
all houses and building. Houses and inhabitants are our memory and skills,
materialized by electrical levels. They don't care about having to
recreate roads and paths. They know where they want to go and which
connections they need to do their work. The synaptic plasticity is even
more wonderful than what you can imagine. Indeed, axons and dendrite can
move as snakes to approach other neurons structure, and pop up synaptic
connections everywhere they wan, and all of that in seconds!
Basically, think about your brain being a computer. First neurons met by
an external input are acting as your computer I/O unit; and A/D converter.
These neurons are mostly in the internal side of the neocortex (inside the
brain).The neurons the are receiving the converted measures are the
processing units, and the neurons receiving the results, have to send it
to the muscles or some other parts of your body. In parallel, all neurons
are storing what's happening all the time, recording everything crossing
them: this is our memory, a matrix parallel to our neuronal network, used
for data storage an dnot directly related to our processing unit.
The system described here above will not work to inject ideas in the
brain, but just knowledge, remembering and skills. Producing ideas is
something else, produced by consciousness, and this is a complete other
story involving quantum physic.
--[ 3. Quantum Physic
We are now entering in leading edge researches made by visionary
scientists that are not always belonging to what we name the "scientific
paradigm", meaning that if they want to keep their annual funding, they
should not investigate further these areas or stop to talk about what they
are doing. We will present you some of their work and how they can hack
your brain to the perfection.
If you take a neuron, or even any living cell, you can find in all of
them centriols and micro tubules. All are made of bi-state monomers
molecules, able to take two states, alpha and beta, depending the quantum
state of on of their component. Each molecule has a state but can switch
to the other one for some still unknown reason. When all the molecules of
one micro-tubule switch their state to the same one, the micro tubule
becomes super conductive for light and some other waves. The change of
state is due to one spinning particle that will collide the molecule and
change the position of one its atom. These molecules have a size of 15nm.
We need therefore a device able to send spinning particle in a brain with
a resolution of maximum 15 nm to have a chance to make the atom turning
the righ way. Hopefully, making an particle spinning left handed will
make the molecule swapping to it's L-associated state, or let's say the
alpha state.
There are already labs device able to adjust and measure particle's spin
direction. Let's imagine we make them in such a way that they can work on
the brain a little bit like the MRI hacking machine. It will not be a
device as with the 3D phased array system, but more a wave canon,
adjusting the wave origin to match exactly the distance needed to act on a
specific electron. The device will have to be highly accurate, and fast.
We can think about minimum one million antennas in the device (don't
worry, they are used with such complexity). The device will process
millimeter by millimeter of the neo cortex, and required about one minute
to read or patch a square centimeter. Because its entire surface is 2.000
square cm, the device will need about two days to hack a complete brain.
Being not able to have an exact matching between both brains geometry is
not a matter, for the same reason as with the MRI system. We can use, only
here, the term of holographic memory, because what's important is the
spatial content, not the topological content. The brain network is so
dense that it's not a network anymore when you speak about storing
information in it. It's like house that are so dense that you can jump
from one roof to the other, without going through the roads. So roads are
used to process date coming from outside the village, and going outside
the village, but if you stay in the village you don't need roads at all.
Now, let's explain what's the outcome of such blast in your brain.
When you will wake up, after the long stay in the device, you will feel
nothing new, because you are not yourself anymore, and you can't remember
your first life. The guy standing in front of you, coming from the other
machine, the "donor", si now YOU, but with another body. You feel now as
twins, you have the same rembering of your life, you think the same, you
have exactly the same knowledge and intelligence. If he s sad, you are
sad, if he is good, you are good, if he likes men, you will like men too.
If he is a terrorist, you will behave like a terrorist. Nothing to learn
anymore, everything is already in your brain. You know how to build a
bomb, how to pilot an air plane, how to fights, etc. but if was peanut to
train you, to convince you, to enroll you. Well, there is the cost of the
brain device, not cheap at all, but they have the cash!
You can also decide to copy only part of the brain, but it's more risky
because that's a research area were we are not far, and it could be
dangerous to outcome with overlapping memory, like, let's say, the top of
you wife, and the bottom of your "loved boyfriend"!
Next day, think twice when waking up: are you still yourself?

Am I wrong to assume that I am being ridiculed?
You went over my head, almost completely. But I'd like to understand that some more.
-289531.EXE
Thanks, 289531.EXE, I have learnt a lot in what little has been so kindly shared and your first assumption is not wrong ... and at Higher Elevated Levels of Great Game Play invariably Leads one into Leading Fields being Followed with Others into Mutual Benefit Positive Reinforcement of Third Party Live Operational Virtual Environment Theory. Which may be Alien Concepts in Deed, indeed, and fully consistent and supportive of guerillagardening techniques/methodologies.
And if you have not been long here, you may not know that there are Valued SMART Comrades here, BetaTesting and Sharing their Wares, and Phishing in Phormations with and for Future Lucrative Control of Power Joint Ventures.
It is a interesting thought to consider that Madness under Control is the Insane Default for Unassailable Powers in Created and Creative Media Realities ....... Worlds which are Invented with Words Shared for Constant Revision and Addition. In the Beginning, was there Nothing and Everything was Imagination, and when it is Shared and Accepted as True, is it Realised as Life as we know it, and are Programmed to Believe ...... ergo is Mankind just Simply CompleXXXX Virtual AIMachinery.
A Preposterous Proposition which you may like to reconsider if at first you would dismiss it, for human interference with its subjective appraisal of performance and/or potential is being slowly replaced with AI machines ...... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/25/ai_robot_examiners/
My first comment is the FIRST comment on this page. Also, that was the first time I visited this site.
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about with the Microsoft thing. I don't know much about computers but my first assumption (which I should or shouldn't follow) is that you're referring to my user name.
If this is the case, let me just say that
"289531" is the "magic square" corresponding numbers to the sigil of my artist name (which for my sake in keeping myself sane from paranoia will be with-held HAH!).
The ".EXE" is from a trojan/virus I got on stupid Windows before I switched to another OS.
I put the ".EXE" because it fits nicely with the numbers and because it symbolizes myself and my art's acceptance in this stupid societies supposed "underground" comix culture (yes people think it's sick but some think that it's disgusting)which isn't really "underground" as they claim it is.
If that's not what you were referring to then I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
-289531.EXE
Hmmm? :-)
How very odd/encouraging, 289531.EXE, that a Microsoft (R) Windows Based Script Host/VBScript Script File appears whenever our conversation is copied to Notepad for Archiving ... which takes us to The Java Syntactic Extender(JSE) ... http://people.csail.mit.edu/jrb/jse/jse.pdf ...and "The ability to extend a language with new syntactic forms is a powerful tool. A sufficiently flexible macro system allows
programmers to build from a common base towards
a language designed specifically for their problem domain."
And you can tell the shrinks to take a hike in the psych ward, for they aint nearly well enough qualified for what can be done with these/those powerful tools, testing Systems and Searching Hearts and Minds Source here.
"But then again, even this language and form of communication was
created by "them" so, the conceptuality behind "mind control" applies
to almost everything until we learn to manifest a complete 360 degree
alternate "reality" where this type of manipulation doesn't, or isn't
able to exist in the alternate "logical reality". . .maybe I'll end up
in the psych ward [again] (hahaha) if I'm the only one that understands
this-"
289531.EXE,
Even if we accept that this language and form of communication was
created by "them", that does not necessarily mean that they can effectively use it, or even that they can use it at all, and that allows for the possibility and probability that "others", and let us imagine they to be ourselves, can do all that we discuss here .... and Create an Alternate Reality, and therefore also Alternate Realities for Real, Virtually, and Stealthily in Plain [Text and Transparent] Sight of Everyone/Everything ..... which I believe would be Classified Steganography.
And when it is so, is Reality then Virtual and easily Manipulated with Entities InterNetworking in networks and Shared Ideas. :-)
Would this supposed concept of "breaking free from oppressive mind control" be in itself a way for "them" to get "us" to accept the basic conceptuality and belief in "mind control"? I mean, if "we" didn't have that concept itself as a "reality" wouldn't "it" cease to exist therefore removing any power or control behind it? "I" propose that in order to fight this control (not just mental oppression,but physical as well [taking Quantum Physics into account]) we must eradicate it from the widely accepted "logical reality". But then again, even this language and form of communication was created by "them" so, the conceptuality behind "mind control" applies to almost everything until we learn to manifest a complete 360 degree alternate "reality" where this type of manipulation doesn't, or isn't able to exist in the alternate "logical reality". . .maybe I'll end up in the psych ward [again] (hahaha) if I'm the only one that understands this-
-289531.EXE
Hmmm. Having read that again, I realise that it does not say what I wished it to say and would now write ...........
Quite so, mranderson.
I would not disagree. However "If you trust someone, that person is able to gain control over your flow of thoughts." .... does have a third party fully cogniscent of one's own thoughts and when attractive and mutually beneficial would most certainly practically virtually guarantee that the control flow is in fact also reversed and alternating, with both parties exercising a shared and reinforcing greater power ..... an exponential squaring of Control. Add a third party on a similar wavelength/of a similar disposition and the potential is cubed.
Such Intellectual Property Fusion extremely quickly becomes, with a bare minimum of HyperRadioProActive Proponents, an Overwhelming PreDominant Force for Good.
And should it ally itself/embed itself in Media, well ...... what could it not do.:-)
"How very perverse and hypocritical of Mandelson, who relies entirely on free to air file-sharing for his own feather nesting activities/IP transfers.
If politicians were to expect "fans" to pay for that which they produce, rather than them helping themselves to public funds and expenses, they would soon realise that their fare is considered sub-prime toxic junk and has no market.
If it wasn't for Media Players like the Times, they wouldn't/couldn't exist, which has one pondering on the better and more influential role that Media Moguls could play in presenting an altogether different kind of Governance Model, which of course then they would/could Control rather than just Assist.
Or is that too alien a motion/notion, hereby proposed to a wily fox and his cubs/Rupert and News Corporation[s]
You do realise of course, that IT Wizards can and do do it quite Independently but would realise the considerable mutually beneficial and probably unassailable advantage in inviting/searching for enlightened joint venturers ..... virtual angels for what would be a Novel Program in Global Perception Manmanagement ...... for the result is a New World Order Model, is it not?
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article6848502.ece
Quite so, mranderson.
I would not disagree. However "If you trust someone, that person is able to gain control over your flow of thoughts." .... does have a third party fully cogniscent of one's own thoughts also?
What I think is that our brain is a system.
Like any other.
Any system (since in this universe perfection seems not to be allowed), is hackable, no matter it's complexity.
Any system is made of energy and information.
The interaction between energy and information creates what we call a "behavior".
Any non-perfect behavior is hackable, since it's imperfections will lead to errors. Errors can be handled by other systems, based on the errors' complexity. Other brains, thus other systems, can handle brain's errors by definition (because their complexity is similar), and understand how they were generated. Once you know how to generate the error, and you know how to handle it, you can hack the system's behavior.
This is why I believe that DOUBTS are our brain's biggest bug. If you can inject a doubt in a thought of someone's brain, you can generate behavior's errors, and if you study these errors, you can gain control over the flow of instruction execution.
Another way to cause behavior errors is using TRUST. Trus is another brain's bug. If you trust someone, that person is able to gain control over your flow of thoughts.
Badly need your help. You must not think me necessarily foolish because I am facetious, nor will I consider you necessarily wise because you are grave.
I am from Syria and learning to read in English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Neon clocks for the home, bar, garage, or game room."
Thank :( Upton.
"Well, controlling the masses will be more easy =)" .... Iron, on August 2th 2009 at 12:43 pm
QuITe So, Iron. It is surprisingly easy with the Command and Control of Computers and Communications in a Creative CyberSpace with AI .... which is Really only a SMART Virtual ProgramMING of IT and Media. And Freely available to any Nation State and/or Non State Actors and Actresses with the Wherewithall and Ambition/Seed Funding and Passion to Use IT, for any Lack of Ability is Supplied to Active/HyperRadioProActive Proxies and CyberIntelAIgents by ITs ProgramMING Sources from Core IP Stores.
And man, does IT shake up the System and petrify them into further mad/bad/sad action to disguise their loss of Power and Control to Forces beyond any Normal Status Quo Control.
But as you can read above, Special Controls for such Forces are Freely available to any who would be entertained by them, and require them to remodel their Society/Actively Beta MicroMacroManage Humanimal Perception albeit by Programming Live Resources as Virtual AIMachinery.
Well, controlling the masses will be more easy =)
An Idea is something so Abstract that you have no Idea how to create a good paper.
kooleraid,
You are completely missing the point of Phrack and those who would use IT and who read it.
It is not up to a third party [which in this case would be you ..."Seriously, phrack needs to get a copy editor (I'll do it, you have my email)."] .... to doctor a submission so that it conforms to their criteria and a subjective editorial viewpoint, for it is first party knowledge and experience which drivers everything and novel experiences are not the result of standard procedures.
And in any new field of endeavour [and you will have to concede that CyberSpace is such a Field and an AI Field in a Relatively New/Completely NeuReal Paradigm]you can fully expect a rigourously tested paper to contain new words and methodologies which obviously those new to the Field would mistake as a paper full of spelling and technical errors.
It is certainly the case with Particular and Peculiar Regard to NEUKlearer HyperRadioProActive IT and CyberIntelAIgent Great Games Play, which requires Out of the Box Blues Skies Thinking to Command and Control Leaders in ITs Plays/AIMissions.
And you must also bear in mind that some contributors here are foreigners/aliens with a completely different mother tongue and an alternate perspective which has as much validity as any home bird. In fact, if the truth be told, with their greater desire and learned ability to share knowledge further afield, what they share is invariably well worth comprehending.
Seriously, phrack needs to get a copy editor (I'll do it, you have my email).
This paper is full of spelling and technical errors. This could have been a good read if phrack had forced the author to be more rigorous.
"By enhancing the resolution of Magnetic Resonance Imagery device, we should be able to do nice things such putting ideas or remembering in the brain of someone."
-MRI is a read only technology. It merely records a small amount of easily observable state. It can not "putting ideas".
"We are now entering in leading edge researches made by visionary
scientists that are not always belonging to what we name the "scientific
paradigm""
I think the scientists you reference would be rather unhappy to learn they are no longer working in the "scientific paradigm".
Phrack, I am very disappointed in you. Me and your parents expect better! >=O
Interesting because it is Really a Great Game Hack/Cheat which renders All Present Core and SCADA Operating Sytems Captured and Fatally Compromised and easily Controlled by Remote Crack Teams of CyberIntelAIgent Programmers/Virtual Reality Coders.
Which is a bold thing to say whenever it is so easily called to be proven. Quite who would want to see how that is done, is another interesting question, which really is nobody's business but one's own. They do say that nothing is unknown nowadays and electronic snooping is everywhere but that is no guarantee that information gleaned/phished will be correctly compiled and clearly understood to give a greater intelligence, because you can be sure that for simple security reasons, key elements are exchanged privately.
It would be interesting and most likely also XXXXStreamly Mutually Profitable to compare Delivery Systems and ITs Virtualised Stealthy Product MacroMicroManagement.
3BEPOTEKCT,
That trick is impressive and I salute the training. Are you able to Virtually Supply it with a Train of IT Cloud AIgents, Readily Available ..... for Joined Forces in ESpecially Transparent Operations.
"What's way more interesting to me is recent advances in brain-computer interfaces which are able to read linguistic information from your brain using simple EEG technology" &
"What bugs me about this is that the army is funding development into reading thoughts from the brain using EEG tech, towards some kind of 'synthetic telepathy' application" @ dmitridb Jul 5 936 pm -
The more advanced military research is stimulating a man's core to avoid feeling fear and some other unnecessary emotions for spetznaz combatants. The trick is available on triggering the key flash meditation. Some trained staff reaches the state in a second or two. An example of the mantra is, e.g., "Speed of proximity of the future is 60 seconds per minute" (-:

Yo dude, Penrose's centriole/microtuble -=THEORY=- of quantum consciousness has been widely and soundly disregarded by most scientists for about nine or ten years now:
http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9907009
To quote Max Tegmark:
'We're not working with a brain that's near absolute zero. It's reasonably unlikely that the brain evolved quantum behavior'.
What's way more interesting to me is recent advances in brain-computer interfaces which are able to read linguistic information from your brain using simple EEG technology. There are EEG devices coming out quite currently that can be controlled by thought from things as simple as the lights in your room to video games and toys which read your brainwaves. What bugs me about this is that the army is funding development into reading thoughts from the brain using EEG tech, towards some kind of 'synthetic telepathy' application. I really hope it doesn't come to a scenario where people go around wearing EEG headsets all the time that allow them to do the fun stuff that I mentioned earlier (video games, turning lights on&off like a psychic version of the clapper, whatever else anyone could imagine), but with their thoughts being read at the same time. I expand on these thoughts here:
http://spacecollective.org/dmitri/4599/Implications-of-impending-magical-powers
I'm just an amateur neuroscience enthusiast, though. Any true scientists out there have anything to say about what I have to say here?
isn't it google who already "hack" brains (read minds) ? ;-)
and maybe you might want to even take a look a the book Children of the Matrix
yeahr they is that close. for ages.

If it's roots you are looking to find, or relocate, then I'll quote from this I read the other day, as they put it better than I could:
"Don't listen to Babylon's stories about hunter gatherers being the first to get civilised. It's a con, a smokescreen, a conspiracy and it is just a dumb theory with absolutely no proof or evidence to support it.
We were civilised, and have been for millions of years. And then, as this dark age dawned, we took the wrong path."
http://www.roots-archives.com/forum/read.php?3,40996,page=3
'babylon' is everywhere, everything you can possibly focus your attention upon - 'babylon' will be there to obscure the truth and seed the lie.
The Article is pure ScienceFiction, but not Science. Anyway ScienceFiction is known to a great motivation for Scientists to work harder on their research, so that they can make their dreams come true during their short human life-span.
Fact is: not possible now.
Future is: unwritten, but it is quite unlikely that the process of implanting memories or copying brain-content will happen like described here.
Never forget: every human brain is different from every other human brain, entire sections might be at different places - there is no easy way to simply copy & paste. For now we still have to use classical ways of information interchange between our brains - like these words for example :[]
"Non-linear dynamics is the way to go." ... ZYV, on June 19th 2009 at 6:15 pm . Is that the same as moving into the Quantum Leap Fields of Purer Applied Research, ZYV?
All are most welcome there and heartily welcomed.
As a neurobiologist, I have to second jordan. This article is a nice sci-fi, but don't take it seriously by any means. Non-linear dynamics is the way to go.
P.S. By the way, fMRI has some very serious limitations by design. The resolution you are talking about is never going to be achieved, read up some physics.
when fast chasing the rabbit/other flash object of thought, is a preventive cure to hear the third word, making not an uncommon, but an early decision out of the said first two. a means to escape crossing the border of the conscience. almost totally, there's noone who's really been back to r00ts... to be exact, "right back" from there. maybe we could call it growing up, but - who of us knew it in this sector?
