Ever since the time of World War II, Studies related to military applications combining brain-computer interfacing and new communications technology, have been the subject of ongoing interest in Defense Intelligence Agencies.
Recently US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced a budget funding of $4 million for a program called “Silent Talk” that would allow soldiers to communicate via brain waves. The agency’s researchers have recently undertaken a project called “Silent Talk” to “allow user-to-user communication on the battlefield without the use of vocalized speech through analysis of neural signals.” In simple English it means telepathy.
With the help of EEG to read brain waves, DARPA is planning to attempt to analyze “pre-speech” thoughts, and then transmit them to another person. The research involves neuroscience and communications related technology to create a synthetic means of communicating (or intercepting messages) telepathically.
As described in document titled “Department of Defense Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Budget Estimates”
Silent Talk will allow user-to-user communication on the battlefield without the use of vocalized speech through analysis of neural signals. The brain generates word-specific signals prior to sending electrical impulses to the vocal cords. These signals of “intended speech” will be analyzed and translated into distinct words, allowing covert person-to-person communication. This program has three major goals: a) to attempt to identify electroencephalography patterns unique to individual words, b) ensure that those patterns are generalizable across users in order to prevent extensive device training, and c) construct a fieldable pre-prototype that would decode the signal and transmit over a limited range.
