And yes..a complete memory lapse; I chose my screen name for that reason

So you had a complete lapse of memory on how it occured? That could be a sign of mind control.
Might the alcohol be an aid to further forget?

I chose my screenname to remind myself of that and as well to remember that memory can be affected in many seemingly simple exchanges...when I was young, I used to play a mind game prior to falling asleep...if I ever lost my train of thought, I would attempt to recall what 'thought' prompted the previous one so that I could trace back to what initailly got me going in that direction. I don't this as well as I did back then, but it is a memory excercise that I am unsure how I came up with.
The complete lack of memory in the mentioned experience occurred after the eating of the fast food and the gulping of two shots of gin. Keep in mind...only two shots, though no food was ingested after the shots. Seeing as I was in the process of moving out, I set up my 'temporary bed' and that is where memory fails. Memory picks back up in the middle of the walk way in the middle of the apartment complex.
I do not recall leaving my room, much less the apartment. I do not recall hitting the window, which I was told was what happened. I remember picking the memory back up and having a sense of urgency, like I was running aaway from something. I even continued to avoid people as I tried to register the fact that I was indeed bleeding quite profusely (nine stitches).
Now, here are the inconsistencies:
I am right handed. If I were to lash out in a drunken stupor (by the way, I have no history of violent behaviour when I drink; I have been told that I merely get more verbose and happy) then I would have likely lashed out with my right hand. The cut is on my left hand.
There was only one cut on my hand. If I had smashed through the window, I would have likely many more cuts all over the hand. Incidentally, when I returned to the hospital for the check-up a day or two later, A man walked out while I was in the waiting room with his whole hand wrapped up. *shrugs* As well, the single cut was a single line down the center of my palm (not on the outside of my hand) and completely clean; try cutting something with a jagged piece of glass that has lost it's stability...there should have been jagged edges to the skin.
I was told that I had jumped out of the window. Now I can understand that people when they are drunk can walk on broken limbs for a short while because they can't feel the pain. I was only treated for the cut. There were no other bruising and or limps.
This last summer I was at the Ren Faire, again, and was considerably drunk when I decided that I was going to follow suit with everyone and swing off the "pseudo pirate ship" that I had helped build. I needed crutches for two weeks and the fall was less than two stories. And I recall every moment of that experience to walking away, despite the fact that I had ingested a considerable amount more alcohol then the experience in question.
What is there to learn? This stuff does happen. There are many other instances and stories I can relate but for the most part, they are just stories. But this stuff does happen and some of us don't get all paranoid and urgent about it. I thought about it alot. I learned what I could.
But I am indeed sugesting that the experience described above didn't occur the way it was related to me. It was completely outside of my normal behaviour pattern and physically inconsistent in many cases. Incidentally, if it matters, my roomamte, when telling me what happened a few days later, didn't even look me in the eyes.
The worst lesson was that some of my friends weren't.

If you are a habitual drinker, two shots shouldnt produce black-out, right? Right.

Sounds like you did not jump out of the window then. Who said you jumped out of the window? On which floor was the room?
Originally posted by Skyfloating
So you imply that some of the people you know "are in on it". Thats the height of science-fiction-paranoia. Remember the movie Total Recall? You must have loved that.

But you telling it in a sane and calm manner lends credibility to your story.
Any childhood memories of being in hospitals and at military sites with strange people?

Reading brain waves to obtain specific information? Little to no chance at this point in our technological evolution.

Objective. The objective of this study was to report our observations on the external electromagnetic field influences on deep brain stimulation (DBS) in our patient population and how these influences affected our patients’ lives and other healthcare-related conditions.

If they could do that, uploadable knowledge, artificial intelligence, a nearly fool-proof cure for mental illness, and many other things would be within their grasp in the short term, and there would be murmurings of it.
The Swedish group contracted doctors in Sweden that are familiar in the treating of victims that have been implanted with transmitters in there brain to review Plaintiff's X-rays. Swedish doctors stated that foreign bodies do exist within Plaintiff's head and they are most likely transmitters. Sweden has and is currently passing legislation as to the implantation of humans with transmitters, a practice that has been done in Sweden since the 1950 and 1960's.

But nothing doing as far as providing stimulii that trigger a few basic psychological imperatives (inducing or inhibiting fight or flight, circadian rhythm, etc). I'd be surprised if they really even needed an implant to accomplish that kind of stuff.
We knew it was only a matter of time before the government started trying to track us by implanting computer chips in our bodies. And where do you start highly suspicious, Big Brother-esque projects like this? The Pentagon and our Armed forces, of course.
Scarily enough, we're not talking about some conspiracy theory, or some black ops experiment -- this is for real, and the Pentagon has already awarded the first contract. It's a $1.6 million contract, to be exact, and it's with Clemson University's Center for Bioelectronics, Biosensors and Biochips (C3B). The mandate? To develop the chip that the armed forces hope will save lives by giving them instant access to, and constant tracking of, soldiers' vital medical signs and data on the battlefield. The chips are also considered to have potential for tracking astronauts' vitals during missions.

Ive read a lot about this but the topic remains elusive. So excuse me if I take this opportunity to compile a deep-diggers question-list which you might enjoy answering. When (and if) answering, no need to put the questions into quotes.
1. What childhood nightmare do you remember the best?
2. Would you agree that its unusual for an 8 year old child to have panic attacks (considering this is normally a carefree age)?
3. Do you think this panic attack was the psychic pre-view of what would happen in the hospital, the psychic-attractor of strange people meddling with you or were panic attacks the result of something already happening to you?
4. Were you operated on in hospitals?
5. Do you habitually experience chills/recognitions when watching science-fiction involving implants, secret projects, paranoia, friends-are-not-what-they-seem scenarios? (Examples: Total Recall, Coma, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Cypher)
6. What other oddities have you noticed concerning friends?
7. What memories come up that you cant associate with any supposedly real thing that happened to you? (Includes: Displaced memories, memories without any connection to other events, places or people, strangely vivid memories, unrelated violent memories)
8. What about your parents?
9. Might your interest in conspiracy-theories be an attempt to remember something forgotten?
10. Have you had yourself x-rayed for implants? If not, are you going to do so?

Brain Implant Studies
Do you encounter more activity now or then? As well, an authoritative structure could induce this...different physiological states are being induced. My thoughts? Not so much a 'salt peter' type situation as it is more likely an induced recognition of the hierarchy and perceived "penalties"....which doesn't always translate over to the civilian structure.
11. Have you talked to people who might have experienced the same thing?
12. When and why did "Im probably just paranoid" turn into "Something is happening to me and I want to find out what"? Or do you still toy with the idea of it all being imagination?
13. If this is real, wouldnt it be a great feat to expose and overcome it?
14. Was the first time you wrote down your experience also the first time they were stolen from you (laptop)?
15. Who might your "handlers" be?
16. Why might Britney Spears have experienced something similar?
17. If you havent visited them yet, do you at least have the contact information of some renegade doctors and therapists who specialize in implant-removal and hypnotic regression? And if you have visited them, what came up?
18. If you hazard a guess, what might the purpose be of trying to remote influence you? Why?
19. Have you contacted ATS-member "General Eyes" who claims to have a similar issue?
20. Is the attempt to recover memories associated with unease or pain?

That's actually quite brilliant. I'd never even thought about it, but a high power microphone would all but give you the ability to read my mind. In fact, being REALLY good at lip-reading might do the trick in my particular case.

But that's still a different animal from using the very mild EM generated by normal brain function to determine what the subjects specific thoughts are, which is what I thought was being discussed in your original post.
The team used high-resolution brain scans to identify patterns of activity before translating them into meaningful thoughts, revealing what a person planned to do in the near future. It is the first time scientists have succeeded in reading intentions in this way.
Specific Measurements of Neuronal 'Firing' to Discern a Thought Process Specifically
ScienceDaily (Dec. 11, 2007) — Following ground-breaking research showing that neurons in the human brain respond in an abstract manner to particular individuals or objects, University of Leicester researchers have now discovered that, from the firing of this type of neuron, they can tell what a person is actually seeing.
The original research by Dr R Quian Quiroga, of the University’s Department of Engineering, showed that one neuron fired to, for instance, Jennifer Aniston, another one to Halle Berry, another one to the Sydney Opera House, etc.

As for the situation the Swedes are dealing with, again I am sure that such transmitters are possible, but there remains a question of function. How much information would they be gathering/transmitting?
Originally posted by The Vagabond
The technology to use such a transmitter to tell somebody when I'm sleeping, when I'm hungry, when I'm thinking dirty thoughts about my Creative Writing professor, etc is probably out there- but it would require some context..

In fact they had to send the Drill Instructors out of sight for about 20 minutes before the corpsmen could get acceptable blood pressure measurements on most of us.

You also mentioned blackouts and the ample memory-manipulation aids available to us, and that did make me think a bit. I do have a persistent problem with my memory of hospital visits as a child. All of them sort of run together. I can't distinguish the events of the night that I was taken to the emergency room with a severe asthma attack from the night I was taken to the emergency room with a broken leg, etc.
