US Army is developing mind-reading soldiers

Soldiers in the future may be able to communicate with their colleagues telepathically, following new research about decoding signals from the brain.

The findings, funded by the US Army Research Office over the next five years, managed to separate brain signals that influence behaviour from other signals that do not.

Brain activity related to directing motion and other behaviour-relevant signals could be filtered out from other activity using an algorithm.

“Here we’re not only measuring signals, but we’re interpreting them,” said Hamid Krim, a program manager for the Army Research Office, told C4ISRNET.
