‘ Can the Brain Be Hacked? Examining Scientific Mechanisms on Remote Control of the Human Brain ’. z wstępu: In the 1970s, allegations surfaced that the government was researching electrical stimulation of the human brain as a means of mind-controlling its citizens. The fact that this was a serious debate is underscored by the US Congress expressing concern in 1973 about the mass manipulation using such technology, while the US military provided financial support to prominent researchers in this field at that time. If you could stimulate specific sites of the brain with the same precision without using electrodes, then you could alter human emotions and behaviour from a distance, achieving “remote control of the human mind.” In fact, the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the Department of Defence [now the Department of War] is believed to have been trying to achieve this [by] focusing microwave beams. US government agencies have long been interested in controlling th...
