where morons become remote controlled mindless slave killer's, who would gladly shoot their own granny's, right between the eyes, if it ticked the boxes on the command interface protocol, and mission objective list,
Remote Control Of Brain Activity
Ultrasonic control of brain activity at Arizona State University has been supported by DARPA; a prototype device that does not require surgery has been created that allows for remote control of brain activity.
1 neurological/psychiatric intervention means that they can re-affirm certain actions psychologically, such as, they could convince you, that shooting someone you love and have known all your life, and is not doing you or anyone harm, would be a good thing
2 navigational commands assistance, means they can remotely direct your path to the ones they designate as the right path, even if that is off a cliff, it would be the quickest way yo the beach, but not the safest obviously!,
3 long-term alertness/wakefulness, so they can keep you taking orders longer to boost production, so they can justify having less normal combatants,
4 behavioral reinforcement, means they van make you do what they want
anxiety/stress reduction, means they will suppress your body's dopamine production, so you just wont give a shit what they have you doing, in effect a walking zombie killer
5 cognitive enhancement, means they will artificial boost it with computer software, so that you will follow orders instantly, without thinking about its effects or repercussions, you will just do it.
6 pain intervention, means if for some reason you do get hurt, probably by people defending themselves, then they will just numb the pain, so you can keep right on killing, without having to be taken out of action for repairs to your system,
7 Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI protection), means its stops you from taking to much damage to the cognitive system controller in your head, so they can maintain controller of you

ultrasound transducers (left) and another functional prototype
for achieving human brain stimulation using a single element
transducer (bottom-right), as well as a list of potential
applications relevant to the defense industry.)
Recent advances in neurotechnology have shown that brain stimulation is capable of treating neurological diseases and brain injury, as well as serving platforms around which brain-computer interfaces can be built for various purposes. Several limitations however still pose significant challenges to implementing traditional brain stimulation methods for treating diseases and controlling information processing in brain circuits...
[Dr. William J. Tyler of the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University] has engineered a novel technology which implements transcranial pulsed ultrasound to remotely and directly stimulate brain circuits without requiring surgery. Further, we have shown this ultrasonic neuromodulation approach confers a spatial resolution approximately five times greater than TMS and can exert its effects upon subcortical brain circuits deep within the brain.
How will this technology be used to provide an advantage for American Warfighters? Potential applications include behavioral reinforcement, anxiety and stress reduction, cognitive enhancement and long-term alertness and wakefullness.
Fans of Vernor Vinge may recall "focusing", a brain-control technology from his 1999 novel A Deepness in the Sky:
"Focusing ennobles. It is the key to Emergent success, and a much more subtle thing than you can imagine. It's not just that we've created a psychoactive microbe. This is one whose growth within the brain can be controlled with millimeter precision - and once in place, the ensemble can be guided in its actions with the same precision."
"Don't you see? We can improve the attention-focusing aspects of consciousness: we can take humans and turn them into analytical engines."

Fans of Philip K. Dick may recall the swibble, an artificially evolved remote-control metazoan-based mind control device from his 1955 short story Service Call:
Patiently, the repairman explained elementary physics. "Swibble-culture is an organic phenotype evolved in a protein medium under controlled conditions. The directing neurological tissue that forms the basis of the swibble is alive, certainly, in the sense that it grows, thinks, feeds, excretes waste...
"The swibble has direct access to human minds?" Anderson asked, fascinated.
"Naturally. It's an artificially evolved telepathic metazoan. And with it, Wright solved the basic problem of modern times: the existence of diverse, warring ideological factions, the presence of disloyalty and dissent."
