Okay-this is starting to freak me out a little as it is very Minority Report. Whenever (almost without fail) I type in a Google search, Google totally predicts what I'm asking for. I could see for example, if I typed in Whitney and the suggestions had to do with Whitney Houston. But, I'm not talking about that. For example: I'm a lawyer and wanted to look up opposing counsel that I never hear of. So, at work, I typed in the first name (very common like Lisa or Robert). And, wouldn't you know it, the person's first and last name appeared as a suggested search (Robert Smith attorney fairfax). Another example: I was looking at a recipe on line today that called for eggs. I had some eggs that I was unsure of. So-i typed in two words: how to. Before I had a chance to finish my query, the suggestions came up and the third was "how to tell if eggs have gone bad." how the hell does it know. The "how to" could have been anything!! Please help me out here with an explanation! Like I said, this happens all the time!
But it is," says Melody Moore, a research scientist at Georgia State University. "Not in that capacity yet, but we're beginning to understand brain activity," she said. "We can listen in on it. We can intercept it. We can interpret it."
Moore was speaking on Tuesday not to a crowd of bespectacled Trekkies, but to the Association for Computing Machinery's Conference on Assistive Technologies. The event is designed to explore how computers can help disabled or handicapped people.
Moore and her colleagues are attempting a feat that's nothing if not ambitious: controlling a computer through brain signals.
The key technology involved is called a neurotrophic electrode, which is about the size of the head of a ballpoint pen, and is designed to be directly inserted into a brain so it can interface with neurons.
It's connected to a tiny amplifier and transmitter, which are inserted closer to the surface of the skin, just under the scalp. Also present is a small power source that allows wireless transmission of the signals to a nearby computer.

see an article that looks interesting to me but that I do not wish to read, yet when I try to go to for instance ATS, it directs me to that instead.

Here is an interesting one about using technologies to enhance ones ability to communicate through a small implant in the brain...

Perhaps some of us have already undergone this procedure and are interfacing right now through an unknown covert experiment???

You know, the one you cover up and label certain folks as schizophrenics because they're too noisy about the whole thing.
and no, I'm not diagnosed as anything, because I don't go to your doctors.
How many people are in prison wrongfully because of telepathy not being accounted in laws?
You all get on here and discuss the reality of telepathic and psychic nature and "weird" occurrences day in
and day out but LAUGH at it when anyone attempts solidifying it into the way things are handled.
You say to one person they are crazy, and then you say to another they are valid because their occurrence
is similar to yours.
None of you ever surface this thought, because if you did you'd have to be honest with yourself and what
rotten people this world is made up of, even closer to home than you'd like to admit..
Sure, you guys allude to it every now and then (a lot) with a psychic dream or a telepathic occurrence post, but why don't any of you ever discuss the updating these things into the laws, the day to day stuff, etc...
What? Because it hasn't been discovered enough yet? It's not ever GOING to be discovered enough (we've long past the ability technologically and biologically to be able to do this) because denial prevents it, wide scale denial.
Eh, whatever. Same old story, people will keep on this way until the world ends. I probably shouldn't even click submit. Too many self-lies in the world for me to ever address. Oh well.
anyway
Look at my post count, I'm a long time lurker, I don't partake in your mad discussions. ATS just happens
to be one of a few places that I can read up about anyone being mildly up front about such things. You get your outcasts on here quite a bit that will tell a lot.
Oh yeah, don't forget to be sarcastic towards me or sweep me under the rug.
With the right point of view, this can be a good training wheel site for people wanting to challenge ignorance in the world (by challenging, ironically, the ignorance on this site mostly.), so I guess that's good. But, it's also infested with people who won't ever progress their morality whatsoever.
