Mind-Controlling Soldier Helmets

DARPA is working Towards Creating Headwear That Control the Brain

— March 13, 2013 — Tech
The concept of a military mind control helmet is of slight cause for concern, but it is also extremely interesting. DARPA is looking into the installation of transcranial ultra sonic mind control devices into soldiers’ helmets.

Working under a grant, a professor at Arizona State University is working diligently to produce a helmet that will change the future of warfare. With the research that they have been conducting, they feel that by manipulating the soldiers brains with transcranial pulsed ultrasound technology, they will be able to produce a soldier that is essentially super human. This a non-invasive technology where the soldiers will be able to flick a switch on the helmet and allow for multiple functions like boosting alertness, relieving stress, reducing the effects of traumatic brain injury, get sleep at appropriate times and even reduce the effects of pain.
Trend Themes
1. Mind-controlled Soldier Helmets - Developing helmets that use transcranial pulsed ultrasound technology to manipulate soldiers' brains for enhanced abilities.
2. Transcranial Pulsed Ultrasound Technology - Utilizing non-invasive technology to manipulate brain activity for various functions and alleviate the effects of brain injuries.
3. Enhanced Soldier Abilities - Creating superhuman soldiers by boosting alertness, reducing stress, improving sleep patterns, and minimizing pain using brain-manipulating helmets.
Industry Implications
1. Military Technology - Integrating transcranial pulsed ultrasound technology into soldier helmets to enhance their abilities and improve overall performance in warfare.
2. Medical Devices - Applying transcranial pulsed ultrasound technology to develop innovative devices for treating brain injuries, pain management, and improving mental well-being.
3. Neuroscience - Exploring brain manipulation techniques using transcranial pulsed ultrasound technology to gain a better understanding of brain function and potential applications in various fields.
