“Broadcasts to the Brain

By 2035, an implantable information chip could be developed and wired directly to the

user’s brain. Information and entertainment choices would be accessible through

cognition and might include synthetic sensory perception beamed direct to the user’s

senses. Wider related ICT developments might include the invention of synthetic

telepathy, including mind-to-mind or telepathic dialogue. This type of development would

have obvious military and security, as well as control, legal and ethical, implications.”

Super-soldiers may get brain-chip

US military experts are attempting to create an army of super-human soldiers who will be more intelligent and deadly thanks to a microchip implanted in their brains.

Scientists believe the implant will vastly improve the memory of troops so that they can recall every detail of their training and become more effective fighters.

Researchers at the University of Southern California's bio-engineering department have created the chip, which acts in exactly the same way as the hippocampus - the part of the brain that deals with memory.

In experiments, the team removed that section of the brain of dead rats and inserted the chip in its place. The implant sent exactly the same electronic signals as the real thing.

The next stage of the project is to test the implant on live animals. If this work proves to be as successful, experiments could one day be carried out on soldiers.
