ScienceDaily (Apr. 18, 2010) — Scientists have developed a brain implant that essentially melts into place, snugly fitting to the brain's surface. The technology could pave the way for better devices to monitor and control seizures, and to transmit signals from the brain past damaged parts of the spinal cord.

Yeah. I saw this earlier and decided not to post it. First thing I thought of was an old Pink Floyd song.
..and if I go insane, please don't put your wires, in my brain.

They do not need chips, just your brain frequency which they can get from you using your mobile phone.
If they have your frequency they can do just as much.

hehe ya thats for sure.. I'm sure that this technology will be use for bad things in the future.

Hi andy1033 do you have a source anywhere which talks about controling peoples mind by getting your brain frequency from using your mobile phone?

No, we all have our own frequency and like a finger print it is, otherwise we would all be reading each others thoughts lol.
On the mobile phone thing, i think this is one of the uses for the mobile phone. If they target you and need your frequency they can use your mobile phone.
You take as what you want, but thats what i believe.

Hi all-
So I didn't see anything posted about this new technology So forgive me if it was posted before, but I found this article about a new technology.
Now I know it doesn't say that it would be used for tracking but i'm sure the government will use it someday like that. Something that "Melts into place" that can transmit a signal seems like a bad idea for me. Who knows it could maybe also be used to control peoples mind or any number of things. What do you guys think??

Now, whats a VeriChip?
Applied Digital Solutions Inc, a company into RFID applications, end-to-end food safety systems, GPS/Satellite communications, and telecomm and security infrastructure, has come up with a unique solution called the VeriChip. This chip is a subdermal RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number. When this chip senses one of Verichip's proprietary scanners, it gets activated and transmits a unique ID number to the scanner. If the number matches an ID number in a database, the person with the chip under his or her skin can enter a secured room, complete a financial transaction, get his medical records verified, etc.
Magnets can alter a person's sense of morality, according to a new report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Using a powerful magnetic field, scientists from MIT, Harvard University and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are able to scramble the moral center of the brain, making it more difficult for people to separate innocent intentions from harmful outcomes. The research could have big implications for not only neuroscientists, but also for judges and juries.
"It's one thing to 'know' that we'll find morality in the brain," said Liane Young, a scientist at MIT and co-author of the article. "It's another to 'knock out' that brain area and change people's moral judgments."

Hi Bedlam-
So for the tracking method there are tracking chips that are as small as a grain of rice so It wouldn't take but a small change to have a tracking chip on it.
As far as being able to control your thoughts here is a little bit of changing the way people think.
Now I know it says powerful magnet but if you make that device magnetic and insert it into the area where it changes the morality of people I would consider that mind control. Also I'm sure in the future we will find ways to use this device to make it possible to control peoples actions/thoughts.
Well, that's not a "tracking chip". It's a serial number h-field part. It doesn't "transmit", at least not using radio waves. It's also totally passive. When it's not being interrogated, it doesn't do anything at all. And since it's an h-field part, it can't be interrogated from a distance.
Not to mention that in order to induce a sufficient time-varying field, you'd also need to implant a battery the size of the guy's head.

Well your right, its not a true "tracking chip" but if lets say, the government had scanners installed in buildings they could track where you have been at what time. I know right now the technology isn't advanced enough but given time that will change.
again I know the technology isn't there right now but batteries are getting smaller and smaller each day.
I'm not saying that what they have just made is the end result, but rather given time this device will be used for "evil" and i'm sure there are people working on this right now on how to change it for there own use....
Maybe I could, in a very unwieldy and erratic fashion, get you to be an antisocial whack job by doing very expensive major brain surgery on you. What's the gain? I could get pretty much the same effect by giving you a spritz of BZ in the gob whilst walking by you on the street, saving the gubmint about $200k. Plus it doesn't make you disappear to hospital for a couple of months, and doesn't leave those telltale scars.

Now an interesting thing that's cost effective might be that the gubmint's real interested in what parasites and bacteria affect your behavior, how, and how you might make that more effective and/or more selective.
Fer instance, toxoplasma can induce old ladies to hoard cats, thus providing a vector for the infection. In nature, there are a number of parasites and infections that influence the infected organism to assist in its spread.
The question was, why not humans, and what sorts of things might be doing this in humans that we haven't been paying attention to? And if we found some, how might we co-opt that?
There is, of course, the obvious alternative, if you can't find a natural organism that provokes a behavior you'd like, perhaps you could teach E. coli to produce something usefully psychoactive the way we teach them to make insulin?
Thus might you be given a nice strain of E. coli (xanax) in your McDonald's burger, and maybe one that wouldn't activate until given another chemical signal as a trigger.
THAT is a hot topic. Mostly in terms of could you spray a lot of enemy troops with that, or maybe spray the ground you're on and retreat, leaving the enemy to infect themselves with something that makes them go nuts ala 21 days after, or maybe passive and obedient, whilst your own soldiers are properly vaccinated, walk in and whack them in the heads like Canadians going after harp seals the next week.
Psychoactive infectives, that's where you should be peeking around. Way better than chips in the head, which just have all sorts of technical issues.
Back when I last bothered to read the tech lit on it, seems like they were hot onto some odd variant strain of Brucellosis that provoked bizarre irresponsible behavior in people, but it's been years ago.
