America's Book Of Secrets: DARPA's Secret Mind Control Technology (Season 4) | History

march 16 2018 the u.s government's defense advanced research projects agency commonly known as darpa announces a bold initiative to develop what they call next generation non-surgical neuro technology it is designed to allow the human brain to directly interface with machines we know that darpa is exploring human machine interfaces that include direct connections between the brain and outside systems that's been from the beginning of darpa's information technology mission and it continues to this day darpa has created some of the most influential technologies of all time things that we use and take for granted every day including the project that became the internet they've created self-driving cars stealth technology gps that fits in your pocket that's darpa's specialty to imagine the future and create it a new technology that is actually very much on the verge of being a reality that is being filtered is we could have a sensor maybe on the surface of our over our head or maybe implanted somewhere in our body in our brain or or something that allows us to interact directly with our communications gear our processing gear our weapon systems and so on but now imagine we take that technology and we can control robots at a distance with it even fly drones you put this sensor on and you think the right way and you can increase the speed of the fan by thinking and controlling that thought with direct to mind or mind machine interfacing with that type of capability you could control all sorts of buttons and and mechanisms in equipment mind machine interfaces will have many applications in both civilian and military life but there are those who believe that this same technology could also be used by darpa as a new form of mind control like their counterparts at the cia darpa funded researchers have spent decades investigating how the human mind can be altered in 1965 darpa launched project pandora which studied the possibility of using microwave radiation to control human behavior [Music] the project reportedly ended in 1969 madapa's investigation of how machines can affect and possibly control the brain continues to this day there are explicit programs of darpa to read and write to human brains whether it's through direct implants within the brain or wearing some kind of cap so these things are being worked on and we know that so what's the next step maybe the next step is we can send instructions and information to an actual person from a distance with this kind of technology to let another person control their actions but that could be something that could be malicious if there's some way to do it from a distance a much greater distance than something that you can wear on your scalp that would be the ultimate technological achievement that would fall into this realm of mind control and direct human machine interface that darpa may well want to keep secret in the near future darpa may possess the technology to remotely control the human mind but as concerning as that may be according to some scientists a more permanent kind of mind control technology is looming and it involves modifying the human brain by altering the human body's dna the future of mind control and the future being right now because these experiments are being done is using gene editing tools one of them would be crispr the way it works is take the crispr which are these short alternating repeats of dna you put that together with an enzyme called cass so you take the crispr that you want to use and you put these pieces together that can be injected and insert this dna to certain areas of the brain so that we can change brain cells and turn you into something you wouldn't otherwise be so in this way gene editing technologies like crispr really form a definite basis for future mind control these are things that darpa has investigated every technology has potential for good or evil and who defines what's good and what's evil and who uses it for what purpose these are all questions that have been asked about everything from rockets to self-driving vehicles we still don't have a good handle on the ethics of various technologies that we use the technologists tend not to be so concerned with the ethics that seems to be the domain of other people policymakers for example academics people like this there needs to be a hand-in-hand interaction with people creating technology and those who are considering the ethics of that technology [Music] you
