Ok, so now that we have all of that out of the way... what are your thoughts on a tailor made Faraday cage, insulated to high voltages, form fitted to the head, and stitched into a hat?

Interesting, perhaps you could enlighten us all with your "technical knowledge" then?

Just off the cuff - the part about neurons isn't quite right. You don't get a longitudinal current flow like a metallic conductor. There's not really an electron flow at all, except between nodes of Ranvier on myelinated neurons, then you get saltation between nodes which does involve electrons. But his base concept - that neurons generate electron flow which results in radio emissions from each neuronal trigger is just wrong.

Next, detecting that a neuron fired doesn't really tell you squat, any more than knowing some random transistor in your CPU just turned on or off can tell you that the user is playing WoW. All you know is that some transistor fired. Your brain is way more complex. So a neuron fired. What does that tell you? Do you think that you can localize that, tell how that neuron is interconnected to any other, and what that firing means? Hell, you can't even tell with a SQUID in a magnetically shielded room if fewer than 50,000 or so neurons are firing that are lined up in one direction so they reinforce each other.

His premise requires that neurons generate RF efficiently enough to produce greater-than-background-noise emissions - they don't - and that the resultant signal be separable in space to each individual neuron - it isn't - and that the receiver be able to correlate this activity with "thought".

The only defense is a low frequency shielded room. Something like this:
...but with more attenuation in the sub 1KHz region...so, much thicker than this.

Again, interesting, but detection works upon pattern analysis, just like any form of BCI. ELF waves are not attenuated by brain matter, not even several hundred meters of rock will attenuate it.
As for not generating ELF waves because, as you put it, "it takes more than that to produce propagating radio waves". I would refer you Maxwell's equations and the scientific article referenced in Deepthought's work showing the detection of ELF waves emanating from a human.
Yes, they do and he presented a scientific article showing that this is the case.
Thanks for the reply, but you either failed to read the material, or you failed to understand it. Either way, not a single comment you have made has been factual.

Ok, fair enough, what do you think about a room like that, except an interior and exterior metal cage, separated by an insulator, and connected through a small induction coil of the proper size?
Essentially making it a giant LC damper.

Don't waste my time. If you are not even going to bother to read the material and supporting evidence, then I will not waste my time replying to you.
It is clear that you do not understand this technology, nor the associated physics. As such, your comments are worthless.
To answer this we must turn to this scientific paper. From this paper, we can observe the charge per square centimeter which is around 22-29 microamperes. We can perform some rough math on these figures that will reveal the answer to our question. The equations are rough and leave out a lot of additional factors, that said, the final figures will not be far from the truth and will probably under-estimate the capabilities of current classified technology.
So, using the formula Watts = Voltage x Amperage, we get the following peak power:
0.003 V x 0.0000029 A = 0.0000000087 Watts/cm2
A team of researchers from Berkley, University of California, claim to have developed a new brain imaging technology that will map human minds and recreate dreams and memories. Utilizing the new technology, the researchers were able to map brain patterns of subjects when they were watching videos from YouTube. The team then created another YouTube video based on the imaging and activity of the subjects' brain while they were watching the first video. The research was published on Sept. 22, in the journal Current Biology. For the purposes of this research, the scientists combined functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and computational models which decoded and reconstructed a person's dynamic visual experience. The researchers, who were themselves the subjects, spent hours lying inside an MRI machine and watched two sets of movie trailers while the machine recorded blood flow through the visual cortex, which processes visual information in the brain. While watching the first trailer, a computer program recorded the brain activities of the subjects and created an algorithm against the video's visual patterns. Then the second trailer tests the computer's movie reconstruction algorithm. The reconstruction algorithm resulted in a blurry but continuous 100-clip recreation of the original movie. The technology can, potentially, help scientists to read human minds, dreams and memories; all of which, to date, lie beyond human comprehension. In addition to mapping the human mind, the technology could also improve the lives of people with neurological diseases and will "allow people with no motor skills to go into the MRI for two hours every day and communicate with their families," said Jack Gallant, Professor of Psychology at Berkeley and co-author of the study. However, as the computational models are still in development, the date of implementation of the technology is still uncertain. "The technology will definitely get there, the question is just when," said Gallant.

HAHAHAHAHA. Ok - I took a quick look at the scientific paper - and it's a non-sequitur as is most of his stuff. See if you can spot the several errors, misdirections and shaggy dog story in just this one paragraph. Bonus points if you can pick out what he got from the "scientific paper", if it's applicable, and why.

A tuned circuit?
There is limited damping in that type of circuit at it resonant frequency. Also, you are only blocking the DC component of the signal and you need to be careful that the capacitor doesn't discharge into you.
Are you suggesting using it like a band pass filter to reject signals outside of the resonant frequency?
ELF would pass through it like it was nothing.

Yes, I was.... But since faraday cages work best at higher frequencies (the mesh size notwithstanding) I was figuring that you would construct the Cage/Inductor assembly to be resonant to extremely low frequency EM radiation, that would give you at least a measure of protection beyond JUST the grounding properties of the cage itself.
Oh, and tell me more about the DC component of the wave, vs the AC component?

There is nothing wrong with the source article and is highly applicable.
